So I finally updated my wordpress to 2.7. Yeah, I know I’m a little late on this one. I would have done it sooner if I had known how totally awesome it was. I love the whole design of it. I do wish it had a little more color in it though. Other than that, I’m loving it.
While I was in the mood to mess with my website I decided that I should make a new layout too. Now I just need to code it. I’m really liking it right now. It’s simple (like most of my layouts) but still interesting (or atleast I think it is).
One question I have is… Do you like using categories or tags to organize your blog posts? I use categories because I just don’t feel like trying to use tags. Tags bother me because I always seem to be adding new ones because I can’t remember if I might have tagged something similar just slightly different. :/
Now on to real life (which isn’t as much fun).. My great-grandparents (Maw and Paw) are in the hospital. Maw is actually getting better, but Paw has congestive heart failure and his kidnes are failing too. So now everyone is talking about his Will and stuff like that. Like my father came to me last night and asked me if I was still planning on singing Amazing Grace at Paws funeral. I gave him a funny look because I couldn’t remember anyone ever saying anything to me about it, he told me it’s been a while sense we talked to me about it. Anyways, I was still slightly in shock and he went on saying that I could record it if I wanted to or I could actually sing it there. I felt like crying, I didnt actually cry, but I was close. So I guess sometime soon I will go and make a recording of me singing the song. I’ve already decided that it will be done with no music, just me singing. I think he would like it that way. I would play it for him before he goes, but he can’t hear hardly anything as it is.
I’ve only ever been to one other funeral. That was my Mom’s Dad. They played the song Daddy’s Hands at his funeral. I still cry when I hear that song (well, I can keep myself from crying, but I want/feel like crying). It probably wouldn’t have been such a big deal with the song if I hadn’t sang it all the time just for him. You see, I used to sing at a festival every year and I would make sure that song was one of the ones that I sang just for him. I was always told that was his favorite song.
Well, I’m sure there was something else I was going to write about, but I’ve watched a whole movie sense I started this blog post..So I will just write about it later.
Funerals are always tough, I went to my first funeral last summer, and it was very hard for me to try and not cry my eyes out. I’m sure your voice will sound beautiful on the recording, stay strong!
Wordpress 2.7 rocks, doesn’t it? Not long now, and 2.8 will be coming out. Bahahaha.
I know what you’re going through with your Grandparents. Mine aren’t doing very well either. I send my condolences to your family. I have a feeling that I’ll have to attend one in a few months. =(
Yeah . agreee. wp 2.7 is great! good looking skin,. hahaha ~
i’m really having a hard time thnking for the best category and tags for my entry 
LOL
BTW,since you had commented my previous entry, I got a gift for you 
Just grab it if you want ^_^
see my new entry ^_^
Totally about time to upgrade!!! It’s so wonderful and user friendly I love it!!
Yeah, 2.8 is going to be coming out real soon!
sorry to hear about the passing of your grandpa, but death is also a celebration of how they have lived their lives… wish you and your family well
That’s awful, that he’s sick and might not live. I’m sure he’d love you singing that song on his funeral. It’s a very personal farewell.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa, and send my condolences to you and your family.
Feel lucky about updating, I didn’t update mine yet!
I can’t wait to see your new layout. I usually use categories, I forget tags too and I change them all the time.
I’m sorry to hear about your great grand-father. I hope that times will get better. I know how funerals feel but remember to be glad for the good things and for the great people you knew (:
hahahaha! i STILL haven’t updated my wordpress, and i also use categories. Maybe i would use tag if i were to tag people, but i dont feel like exploiting the people in my life. Hope the new layout is up soon!
I’ve been lazy and haven’t updated my wordpress yet, by the time I had updated the last version 2.7 had just come out and I couldn’t be bothered, but now you’ve gotten me a little curious so I guess I’ll spend the rest of my evening tinkering with it and hoping I don’t suddenly break my site haha, knowing my luck it’s always a possibility.
Sorry about your grandfather, it’s good that you get to be part of the funeral though, I did readings at my grandmothers and my aunts funerals and it is a little therapeutic in a weird way. I think your grandfather would like to know you’re singing. It’s a nice gesture.
2.7 is awesome 
Anyway, I like using categories better, but I do use tags, too. It helps me SEO
Your layie is definitely simple. Simplicity is the best anyway as they say. 
I use categories but not tags. 
Its okay dear. Deaths are normal. It is sad though to see someone experience death. Personally, im not afraid of dying. I am only afraid of not being able to see my love ones after death.
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandparents. It’s always sad to have someone you love being so ill or passing away.
I hope you get to sing the song for your grandpa, I’m sure you would make him very proud!
I agree with you on the messy side of Wordpress tags. I have to browse some of my previous posts just to verify the tags that I’d already put in. Because if I don’t, my posts would come out unorganized instead of organized!
I believe your great grandfather would appreciate a song from you. He will rest peacefully, then -
Oh Jesus, I don’t like to think about funerals either.I’ve only been to one funeral of a family member and I don’t care to expedience that again.That’s really sweet what you did for your grandfather though =) All in all, I seriously hope your grandparents (Maw&Paw) pull through their illnesses and come out alright.
Alrighty, at some point I will actually have a little something about me in here, untill then, this is all ya get. :P Sorry. O and there will be a picture too. For now I'm going to work on this layout. It's almost done. :)
