Up North ~ Life in Minnesota

Sometime about three years ago, we switched from CuteNews to WordPress for our blog. Unfortunately, that meant that our site did not include any of our old posts or photos. Well, thanks to a lot of work on the part of my favorite husband, all of those old post are back! Take a trip down memory lane and check out our archives. I have enjoyed reading through old stories and looking at pictures of Gib (my he has grown!). Thanks, Jerry, for making this mama very happy!

It’s sad when the only reason I blog is because I recently upgraded Wordpress. Perhaps this reveals a fatal character flaw? Regardless, we will really, really try to post more regularly. Spring is here and that always makes our camera fingers itchy, so you can expect a few new shots of the young’un as well.

Oh, I almost forgot what prompted this monumental posting—things are a little discombobulated after the upgrade, so for now, please ignore the ugliness.

Joe Lencioni’s fabulous photoblog, Shifting Pixel, is up for a 2007 Weblog award. If you’re not already a fan of his work, I suggest you check it out. Once you do, I’m sure you’ll agree it’s award-worthy stuff. To show your approval simply visit the 2007 Weblog Awards website and vote (often).

As my grandpappy used to say, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Unfortunately, I’ve never been very good at heeding sound advice, hence this spaztastic redesign. If you notice things awry, don’t fret, I’ve still got a lot o’ tweaking to do before I affix my official seal-of-approval.

I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.2 and now Wordpress 2.2.1 in the past week. If you notice any problems, I would appreciate an e-mail!

We upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 tonight. I’ve discovered a couple of minor issues thus far, but if you notice anything incredibly wrong, please let us know.
