Bloggy stuff
NOTE: Blogging experiment to see how it goes - this may or may not work out! .....
For a while I've been considering having 2 separate blogs - 1 for very general, educational type stuff (links, reviews, recommendations, ideas etc) and the other for more personal, family related stuff.
In view of recent changes to things around here (school, yikes!) I've decided this is as good a time as any to start up the separate blog. I guess there are several reasons for doing this. For a start, I'm going to have considerably less homeschool related things to write about from now on (as I said above, I will still share links and whatnot) and also school type things which I'm less inclined to share with the whole world. Also, on that note, I have become, recently, less and less inclined to share all the general, non-school nitty-gritty and personal details with everyone - I want that sort of stuff to be limited to just family, close friends and blog-internet-friends (who are particularly well known to me).
All this obviously posed a problem because I wanted to still host the diary on my site and also not have to faff around with Blogger or Thingamablog (which I'm using to type this and which is, frankly, a pain in the arse sometimes). So, I've used Bravenet to set up a passworded page (link at the top of this page)- it's not pretty (you have to put up with the horrible ad bar at the bottom) but it does the job. Will try this for a while and see how it works.
Now, about passwords and things. This is going to be a bit like ex-directory telephone numbers - if you know it, please don't share it about with all and sundry! I don't have anyway of keeping track of this or who is reading the page so I'm just going to have to trust people. I've deliberately tried to pick a word that, generally, most people who know us reasonably well, or are family, should know. If you fall into that category but don't know it, just email me (email addy in a min) and I'll let you know it.
If you are well known to me (through blogging or internet in general), then please feel free to email for the password BUT please understand that I'm not going to give this out to everyone JUST people I'm familiar with. Sorry ... but there you go.
Email address for passwords and stuff: info (at) sarahsellers (dot) co (dot) uk (obviously replace the at and dots as necessary!)
So, sign in details are as follows:
username: diary
password: will be the first word in the name of the company Tim works for (clever eh?!)
If you know it (which hopefully, as I said, family and friends probably should), just go right ahead and sign in (not much there at the mo!). If you don't and want to, then please email me.
Finally, I appreciate that there are probably a lot of people who've been reading this blog for a looooong time but, basically, aren't known to me (either by blog comments or email contact). I know that some might feel a bit upset that they won't be able to read the new diary and I'm sorry about that I really am. Please, do still look out for the occasional education related post on this blog though :)
