Closing Up the Cottage

Just torches
Originally uploaded by abrinsky

To celebrate my 450th blog post here, I am closing up shop. I have four spin-off blogs now, and they suit me better. So Cloudcover Cottage is hereby officially boarded up. I have emptied the fridge, swept off the porch, and snuffed out the lights. Feel free to pick up a torch and poke around here all you like. When you are finished, come on over to Seven Ways Simple.

Hope to see you soon.

Thank you to abrinsky for sharing this photo on flickr.

By Popular Request: Posting How-To's

To post a video from YouTube:

Part One: (1) Double click on the video wherever you find it. This will take you to the video as posted on the YouTube website. (2) To the right of the video there will be two boxes with HTML text in them. One will be labeled "embed." (3) Right click on your mouse while holding the cursor over the embed text. Choose "select all" in the drop down box. The embed code will then be highlighted. (3) Right click again over the highlighted embed code and choose "copy" from the drop down box.

Part Two: (1) Go to your blog. (2) Go to where you make a new post. (3) Click on the tab at the top of the new post screen which says "Edit HTML." (4) Right click and when the drop down box appears choose "paste." The video should now appear on your blog. (5) Do a little dance.

To create a link to other places:

(1) Go to the blog or website where the item you want to link to appears. If it is at a blog, double click on the title of the specific post you want so that you get a page for just that post. If you don't do this, you will send your readers to the home page of the blog with its latest post, rather than the specific item you want them to see. (2) Right click on the address in the box at the top of the page and choose "copy." (3) Go back to your blog and compose your new post. Note that the new post page has an icon in the tool bar which looks like a green blob with horns. Don't try to figure out what this represents. This is fruitless. (4) Type your post as usual and then highlight the text you choose for a link by holding the left mouse button down while you drag it over the text. (5) Once it is highlighted, click on the green monster with horns and a box will appear. Delete the highlighted "http://" which appears in the box. (6) Right click over this box and choose "copy." Your link will now be in action when you publish your post. (7) Sing a happy song.


Of course, you need not dance or sing if these instructions don't work for you. In that case, please let me know, and I will try to do a better job of explaining. :0)

Vintage Tacoma Garage

A big thank you to Stephen Cysewski for suggesting this lovely Tacoma garage to accompany the lovely cottage seen below. Be sure to check out his pictures here. They are also available at the Tacoma Public Library for you locals.

(You rock, Tacoma.)

Cottage FAIL

Simple is good, but let's not overdo it!

See more fascinating photographs of the 1970's Tacoma we have all tried to forget here. Thank you to Stephen Cysewski for putting his work online. (And thank you to Joseph for the lead.)
