Purple YamHill

Greetings GreenCropCircles (GCC) readers! I wanted to let everyone know I’m currently in the process of streamlining the site, so if you see any extraterrestrial changes don’t worry; it’s all part of the planned alien invasion. Some changes are a nifty new background and a few pages linked at the top of the banner now. Feel free to comment if you like or dislike the colors or anything else. I will probably keep experimenting with new colors and banners until the site looks right. I’ve also been tinkering around with the Feedburner settings and SEO (search engine optimization). I apologize to any Feedburner subscribers who might have received emails of old blog reposts or pages. If you do get any more of those unnecessary notices just disregard them. Figuring out all of the technical details of running a blog is a work in progress, but something I enjoy and look forward to.

On another note Charlotte has launched a food blog called PurpleYamHill. It’s a very professional looking blog and I think it has good potential for a wide audience and outstanding content. It’s gotten off to a slow start, but with the rainy season on the way I think our kitchen will see more activity in the near future, which means more food blogging. I also enjoy cooking and eating healthy so I’ll contribute some posts there when the inspiration strikes, which happened last week when I wrote about “The BMT sandwich”.

As for the content on this site my goal is to try to post at least once a month. I’d like to post 2-4 blogs per month in the future but I’ll have to see how it goes. I really enjoy writing these posts and have a long list of subjects I want to write about. Unfortunately these are not easy posts to create since a lot of research is typically involved. The research does allow me to learn more facts about the topics in my posts, and then pass that information along to the readers. Of course my opinions will be in the mix too, but as intelligent readers I would expect all of you to come up with your own opinions and conclusions to anything I or anyone else says.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have taken the time to read our blogs, contributed content, helped spawn ideas for us to write about, left comments, or provided feedback in any other way. It all helps to keep Charlotte and I inspired bloggers. I have a few posts that I’m currently working on so check back for those updates soon. In the meantime I’ll leave you with a hypnotizing picture of our favorite doggie Mulder.

Look into my eyes, you're getting very sleepy. Now on the count of 3 I want you to go get me a cheddar cheese treat!
