Blogging | Cathy C. Hall Writes

If you haven’t dropped in to the Hall of Fame in a few days…Surprise! But if you have, and noticed the blog makeover, then thanks for the lovely comments. And if you’re scratching your head and saying, “Why, yes, things look different but I can’t quite put my finger on it,” then, um, I’m sure you have lots of other great skills.

So, I’ve added a few blog pages, a functionality that’s especially convenient if you want to add more information but keep a streamlined front page. For those who may not want to go the paid website route, a free blog with pages can be an effective showcase. Just look for the Edit Pages tab (adjacent to the Edit Posts tab) the next time you’re writing a new post. It’s that simple.

And I think I read where Blogger allows up to ten pages. Think of all you can do with ten pages! You can direct readers to your credentials or contact info. You can add a page of free downloads or fun facts. You can have recipes or riddles or rhymes! Pictures! Pointers! Puddles!

Um, okay, maybe not puddles. But I think you can see that the possibilities are endless.

I still have a bit of streamlining to do before this blog’s shiny new makeover is complete. I just hope you’ll still recognize the sleeker, shadow of her former self, Cathy C.’s Hall of Fame!

I feel pretty! Oh, so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and bright!

That’s what being a Blogger of Note (or BON, as we like to say in the business) will do for you! Here’s what happened:

First, scathingly brilliant blogger Becky nominated me. Then, I had to send in three of my favorite posts. To wit:

What Not To Do Wednesday on the I Thing (’cause you know grammar is one of my things)

April 1st, Not Just for Fools Anymore (’cause I couldn’t leave out Sally the Crazy Dog)

Tuesday Tip: Just So You Know, I’m Taking Notes (’cause I had to throw something writerly in)

Then, I had to promise that for every day, rain or shine, up or down, in or out, I would sing at the top of my voice, a show tune from my vast repertoire.

Yeah, I know. I thought that was a little odd, too. But mine is not to question the wonderful folks over at Words of Wisdom. And I’d just like to extend a hearty welcome to any and all visiting folks who might be dropping in here today at the Hall of Fame. I hope you find something you like, and that you’ll come back often for a little writer wit and wisdom, such as it is.

In fact, I was going to draw a name this morning for Accidental Cowgirl, the memoir by Mary Lynn Archibald that I’m giving away. But I think I’ll wait one more day so that any of you fine folks who’d like to comment on that post will have a chance to win, too!

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some loud singing to do. (I feel charming! Oh, so charming! It’s alarming how charming I feel! And so pretty, that I hardly can believe that it’s real!)
