Site Update
January 6, 2007
Once again, I have made a few changes to Mr Papa’s World. I have added a section in the sidebar for historical archives. You can search the archives by author, by date, by category or by tag. The archives section also contains an archive of the polls I have run here at Mr Papa’s World.
In addition, I have added a new sidebar feature that is the most popular posts on Mr Papa’s World. A while back I added the popularity feature to my posts to track which posts are being read the most. Now that there is some history built up, I am displaying the most popular posts.
Suzanne has posted a bunch of pictures and a rehash of my daily log from our recent Celebrity Mercury cruise to Mexico over at her cruise blog Cruise Talk Central. She has included a whole bunch of pictures from the trip too – more than I uploaded here at Mr Papa’s World. Stop on by and check it out.
If you havent stopped on by the new local community site that I launched, Sonoita Web, wander over there and let me know what you think. I spent a fair amount of my Christmas holiday launching that site. Traffic has started slow, but is picking up. We are contemplating taking out an ad in the local paper announcing the site to drive up traffic. I hope the community embraces the site and comes together there.
I haven’t looked at my genealogy stuff lately, so its about time. One of my visitors has sent me a bunch of info that I need to go through, so I may find some nuggets there. Also, while on our Cloudcroft, NM holiday trip, Suzanne’s Dad, Brett, gave me a whole packet of info on his family. Its research that has been handed down for a while. Again, should be able to find some good info in there.
I hope the New Year is finding everyone well…
Enjoying Vacation
December 11, 2006
Ah what a feeling it was this morning to not head off to work and to get to sit in front of my computer all day and play around. Wait! Sit at my computer? Thats what I do at work all day… Oh well…
Actually, it is quite different. This is fun. I have a whole list of things that have been stacking up on my websites that I have been wanting to attend to and just havent found the time. Thats my plan for this vacation from work until Jan 2. Excluding the trip to the cabins in the mountains of New Mexico, of course.
I am still hoping to launch my new local community site around the first of the year, but am kind of beholding here to Suzanne. I need some artwork, photos and data that she is supposed to be working on. Thats more up her alley than mine. She is wanting to work on a review of the recent cruise for Cruise Talk. She also is the one who did the photos of the cruise here on Mr Papa’s World.
I have also come across of wealth of new family history information so I hope to make good progress in the genealogy department too. Right now, I am spending a fair amount of time updating the source information in the records for a lot of the data that I have. So, it wont be immediately visible but will provide a trail as to where the data came from.
Suzanne and the kids have a busy dance week ahead with the Xmas recital next weekend and thus I should have ample night time to work my computer magic also. Only drawback to my vacation this year is that the kids arent off from school very much. Usually we coincide better and play a bunch of boardgames. I guess we will save that for New Mexico.
