Updates to Website

Have almost completed the overhaul on www.debracollett.com website.  I like the new, simpler interface.

HOWEVER

I'm a bit peeved with Jigsy at the moment.  Features that used to work quite easily and extremely well are either gummed up or have disappeared.

AND my email for the site that is ONE MY BUSINESS CARDS is not working. At. All. Fortunately, the "Contact" link on the site is functioning (I think!).  May better otta test it before I say that!

We'll have to see if I can get them resolved.  Also, looks like Jigsy and Bravenet have finally completed the split of the two companies, not sure that it's gone in Jigsy's favor. :(

Back on the Planet

I was challenged back in 2009 to begin blogging, and failed at the endeavor.  I have had a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with social media since its inception, and am still concerned about the narcissism it can produce.

As the Facebook juggernaut became more commercialized and invasive, I reached a point about a year ago where I was ready to delete my account, but still wasn't quite ready to give up keeping in touch online.  Thus my Facebook page has languished in a state of disuse.

But there was another reason, even more serious than my concerns about being a data-mined commodity for some made-in-China conglomerate:  my life took too serious a turn for a FB post - I became guardian of my father. Suddenly, I had all kinds of things to write about, but no time to compose them.

For the first time, blogging truly appeals to me a proper medium for my communication and interaction needs.  And, even though Blogger is a Google product, it's slightly less creepy than Facebook has gotten.

So here I am.
