Gravatar: Why You Need To Create A full Profile.

6 Comments

The Gravatar is a great way to connect you with other bloggers and to provide your own identity online. Gem Stone does a great job of explaining it all.

As a new blogger I get very excited when people like my posts, however, I’ve noticed one mistake a lot of people seem to make. Even by some bloggers much more experienced than myself.

They don’t have a full Gravatar profile.

Let’s start at the beginning.

You write a post on your blog and publish it and lo and behold, someone likes it. If you’re like me, you want to know who that person is.

This will take you to Gravatar.

So what is Gravatar?

Gravatar is a globally recognised avatar. If you are a WordPresser you automatically get…

Interesting Time In Politics, Get Out And Vote

1 Comment

With Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton yesterday and Theresa May becoming British Prime Minister today and of course Donald Trump this is an interesting time in politics around the world. It will be interesting to see how the US election goes. May will be leading the UK out of the EU so that will bring about significant changes globally and for some locally. Theresa May is the second female PM so will the USA see a Female President. If that happens 3 major world powers will have women at the helm.

Politics is ultimately about power and how people manipulate it. There is something about power that changes people.

I am fascinated by how things are going in other races that don’t involve the race for the White House. Politics is very local and personal too. Your local officials such as mayor, city council and county commissioners have way more impact on your own day-to-day life than anything nationally.

No matter what, know the issues and vote. It’s important for those who have the freedom to choose to do so. Politics is ugly but its even uglier when you don’t participate. Make your voice heard, its a good thing to do.

Theresa May began her political career in the middle of Margaret Thatcher’s premiership and has long been touted as the woman most likely to become Britain’s second female prime minister.

Later today Theresa May becomes the new Prime Minister of Great Britain. She follows in the steps of Sir Winston Churchill and Baroness Margaret Thatcher. From what I have read she will be a tough leader and will have to negotiate terms of the Brexit leave of the European Union. She is going to have her work cut out for her as she succeeds outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron who served for six years. .

My British/UK friends, what say you about your new Prime Minister?

We All Have Tough Days

4 Comments

Friends, no matter what your day was like it has the possibility of being better tomorrow. We all have tough days and we need to be strong when we can, but vulnerable when you have to be. Rely upon the kindness of others to get you through and when you can be there for others. When your days are more like months seek help, don’t wallow in misery. Seek out guidance, discernment and understanding. Tomorrow is another day although all we have promised is today, minute by minute. Grace, peace and love good people.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — After 14 months of policy clashes and moments of mutual disdain, Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday, clearing away the last major obstacle to a united Democratic front heading into the party’s convention this month and the general election this fall.

Sec. Clinton and Sen. Sanders have come together. I am pleased with this. We shall see how things go heading into the convention. Perhaps she will choose him as her VP running mate. Some aren’t thrilled with this but it is what it needs to be. Voting is important and we have much to decide in November.
