Sheri Hawley
(Edited to add)
After writing a few paragraphs about the blog of my friend, Sheri Hawley, being down, I just heard from her husband that her blog is finally back up and running! (So I erased the paragraphs I had written about the blog being down since it’s now up! So happy for them! So happy for ME! (‘Cause I get to read it again!)
Go to Embrace the Grace to read Sheri’s wonderful blog. You won’t regret it.

Speaking of blogs and technical stuff, I would like to give a shout-out to my blogging colleague and technical guru, Dustin Stout. Dustin has helped me fix a few recent problems on my blog and at my request, also changed the font of the nav bar and the post titles. He also made the text bigger in the commenting area and added a line beside my picture to make it easier for you to see where my comment responses are.
I would consider it a personal favor if you would click right here and pop on over to Dustin’s blog for a minute or two. He can tell by looking at his statistics which of his visitors come from my blog and if lots and lots of you click over there from here, he will think I’m a vastly important and incredibly famous blogger and will be hugely impressed and he will start coming to ME for technical advice instead of the other way around! (ha)
Seriously though, Dustin is a blogger’s blogger and with each passing week, is becoming more influential and well-known in the blogging community. He writes about Christianity, social media, creativity and Google+, and he has a lot of resources available for people who want to learn more about blogging. Dustin is also an outstanding graphic artist which makes his blog a feast for the eyes. So go ahead and click on over there and help me say thanks to him for keeping me from pulling out every last strand of my hair when I got frustrated with my recent tech issues.

I saw this video about 6 months ago and adored it. This week, it cropped up again on my Facebook timeline and I fell in love with it all over again. I promise you that you cannot watch this 2-year old boy dance without smiling. My favorite part is at the end where he takes a bow and then rubs his hands together and dusts them off like he’s saying, “Ahhh! A job well done!”
Absolutely sweet and priceless.

just visited Sheri, but I can’t leave a message since I have to choose a “profile” and there’s no choice, and I don’t have a profile anyway… and I actually don’t like my actual profile since it doesn’t even come close to capturing my natural beauty which unfortunately seems to have faded considerably since I was an infant.
Mrs. Pam, you are so funny!
how about making the fonts darker… sorta a strain to read when it’s a light gray.
cheerio
Mrs. Pam, well, on my computer, it already looks like it’s black. Are you talking about the font in the commenting area or on the posts?
it’s the post. when I click to read more, the font gets larger and lighter.
the comment color is a darker gray, and easily read even though it’s not black.
Wow Becky! You must be vastly important and incredibly famous! I am hugely impressed! Seriously though, I had no idea you wrote this but when I checked my analytics I saw that Smithellaneous was one of my top referrers today!
Thanks so much for your kind words Becky! I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to help!
Dustin, I’m thankful to have a person of your vast wisdom and experience to call on when my bloggingness starts going downhill. Thanks for the help!
Thank you!:) I love to follow blogs when I have time. Love Sheri’s blog too.
Kristi, Yep, Sheri’s blog is definitely one worth following!
Hello! I can’t open the dance link. When I click on it it says the page is unavailable.
Have a great day.
Jenna, that’s strange ’cause when I click on it, it opens up fine. The joys of technology! You could also go to You Tube and search for “2-year old dancing the jive.” See if that works.
thanks for keeping us posted on whats happening with Sheri’s blog. I like the font size, these old eyes can read it easy. and as for the Dance, its just as funny every time I see it. thanks for the morning laugh
Sharon, so glad to hear this font is good for you. And yes, that Dance video is definitely a smile-producer.
Hi Becky, that page that comes up on Sheri’s blog is what happens usually when the domain name as expired and the user hasn’t paid for the rights to use it for another year or term. Don’t know if that helps any?
Rebecca, thanks for chiming in on this. I think that might have been what happened; so thankful they were able to get it straightened out since I was worried on Sheri’s behalf that she had lost all her old posts. (Which is a terrible feeling for a blogger!)
No worries, glad it’s back up and running
I save everything I write to multiple locations…just in case!
