Words I like: Lie inside myself for hours

Today’s words I like come from one of my favourite songs from Evanescence – Imaginary.

In my field of paper flowers and candy clouds of lullaby

I lie inside myself for hours and watch my purple sky fly over me

Imaginary: Evanescence

Taking a tip from a Master

The Blogging101 experience has been wonderful and I have learnt heaps but now its time to settle back into the real world.

I really don’t think I can blog each day, not reliably anyway.  At the same time I dont want to lose the spontinaity of blogging whenever I feel like it.

Wiki: How to structure your content

First it was ‘restarting’ my Blog, now its creating a Wiki.  I could not find a Wiki101 course like the Blogging101 course so I Googled it instead.  The first thing I wanted advice on was ‘how to structure my content’… and where better to look than the Wiki-of-Wiki’s Wikipedia.

Words I like: A short rest

Yesterday was a public holiday in Australia, our national holiday for Australia Day.  Today I am back at work.  A “one day weekend” is the way it feels, a short rest.

Day 11: Make a Personal Prompt

To be honest, I am not sure I ‘get’ Day 11’s assignment… but that won’t stop me trying 😉

Writing prompts can be a blogger’s best friend: when inspiration is low and fresh ideas few, responding to someone else’s question can do get you out of a slump. 

WordPress: Security learning

My blog today will focus on some resources that I have found to be useful for WordPress security.

Days 7 to 10: It wasn’t my fault…

I’m pretty sure I just missed 4 days of Blogging101 daily tasks/ assignments, but it wasn’t my fault.  My excuse goes something like this…

It wasn’t my fault! … I ran out of gas. I… I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

Thanks to Jake Blues, The Blues Brothers

Golden Years

Just heard the sad news, David Bowie passed away 😂

The Starman is gone, may you rest in peace.

Your innovative music brought Changes to my life, thank you!

The Golden Years have passed but you will be remembered for ever 😀

Wednesday was a slump day not a hump day

 

Hmmm, maybe people took my Day 3 post (Nothing to see here, move along…) from Blogging 101 too literally.  Or maybe Wednesday last week was just “slump day” rather than “hump day”?

I like 500px

Let me introduce you to a favourite web site, iPad/iPhone app – 500px  A very good friend introduced me to it a few years ago and I have been enjoying it ever since.

The featured image from this post is one of my pics on 500px, its called “my favourite rocks” at South West Rocks in the mid north coast of NSW in Australia.

Near the rocks is a great place to swim and you get a wonderful view up the coast towards Stuarts Point and the mountains in the direction of Mount Yarrahapinni.

But enought about my favourite rocks 🙂 I wanted to introduce you to 500px. Here is one of my favourite photos to start things off… It is called “shadow people”.

…and another called “Fun at the beach”. It reminds me of the summer days I spent at the beach as a child growing up in Sydney, Australia.

Fun at the beach

But “why are the photos all black and white” I hear you say 🙂 The short answer is, they are not, that’s just two of my favourites. here’s another one in colour this time… it is called “Play of colours” (aptly enough) 😉

 

Play of colours

and, last one for now, one called “Tiny yes, but mighty”…

 

Tiny yes, but mighty

All of these pics come from the friend who introduced me to 500px and are just some of my favourites.

There are also plenty of other great photos to take a look at from thousands (millians?) of other people around the globe. Like this one… It is called “Sunrise on Munchkin hill” by me 😀

If you want to see what else is trending, I suggest trying “Discover” to see what is popular or fresh

I hope you get as much enjoyment out of 500px as I do 🙂
