There, my first reblog. Didn’t even know this could be done. Thanks Rain.
Love this octopi, don’t you?

Also found out yesterday that you can embed tweets here, like so…
Isn’t WordPress the greatest?

For those of you who haven’t been over to the Sevilla Tapas site for awhile … a couple of updates.
I’ve rewritten the tapas tour page a bit and at the bottom have included this collage of “happy campers” who have enjoyed tours in the past. I’ve got another tour coming up on Saturday that I’m really looking forward to.
I also updated the Vegetarian Cuisine page, which I now hope will be helpful. A recent visit from a London-based travel writer who is vegetarian reminded me that I’d left this page “under construction” for far too long. In fact, other than restaurant updates, I haven’t been doing much on the Sevilla Tapas page of late so it felt good to spend some time on my baby. Also had a good time yesterday in my English class with Agustín, as we talked about which tapas bars and restaurants to include in my top 30 list for SimonSeeks, which is now what I’m mostly going to be doing for the next three weeks. Next deadline is November 5th…

So check it out – this is my new SimonSeeks page. There’s not a lot written yet as I’m just getting started, but by the end of November it will be filled with all kinds of fabulous information about hotels & other sorts of accommodation, restaurants & tapas bars, monuments & sights, shopping, nightlife, culture and lots of other useful info written by a local resident. Me.
I’m quite excited about this new challenge and I like that they want me to write in a casual and personal manner. They don’t want it sounding like a stuffy tourist guide. And most importantly, they want what I do best – to provide up-to-date info and opinions about My Sevilla.
You all know how much I love this place.
I’m looking forward to the London meeting in September. I’ve also started a SevilleExpert Twitter account and from now until deadline will be researching and writing like mad.

I’m trying out a bit of change here and would like to know what you think. The usual setting for comments is to go from oldest to newest as you scroll down, but I’ve been noticing more and more people changing this so that the most recent comment is at the top. At first I found this disconcerting, but lately it’s been making some sense to do it this way. So I have made the switch to try it out for a few days.
Which way do you prefer to have the comments?
