Last summer I started a self-hosted photo blog because I didn’t want to renew my Fotki subscription, nor did I want to go with the other two main online photo uploading options, Flickr and Picasa. And having recently become involved with Pinterest made me realise that I had no place of my own to showcase my various photos, other than this tired old travel blog that hasn’t been updated in years.
Anyhow… the new photo blog has just been sitting there doing nothing because it needs a good photography theme. Ideally I’d like something that works like my friend Holly Cocina’s Tumblr. But instead of posts I’d want different albums that open up like her monthly Tumblr Archives.
Does anyone know of a (free) WordPress theme like this? Or something similar? I’d really like to get my photos back in order and online in a fresh, user-friendly format.

I was kind of a late-adopter of Pinterest and, even after receiving my invitation and joining up, my account sat there for weeks with two empty “boards” on them. Had no idea what to do with it or how to get started. Then today I discovered the “pin it” toolbar thingy and – duh! – the penny finally dropped and I began pinning away like a pinning thing. Of course I know that it’s not supposed to just be about me-me-me but to get started I pinned a bunch of my stuff and will now have a base for pinning up other great stuff I come across.
This is my azahar Pinterest page.
Look out world! 😉

Seriously… this is too funny!
I came across this the other day on the Roaming Raddish and laughed my way through all the episodes. Created by Shane Cyr, this is the story of a man who taught his cat instant messaging.
Best place to start… Episode 1: The Ping

The last couple of months or so I have been falling behind in my correspondence. And also my blog reading and interaction there. What can I say? I am online almost all day long, mostly flitting here and there getting work stuff done for clients, and also checking my own social media and websites and trying to keep them updated. So it takes a special effort sometimes to just sit down in front of the computer for some “me time”.
This is just to say to those I haven’t been in touch with enough lately that I’M SORRY and that – truly – you are on my mind, in my heart, and very much valued. I just can’t seem to focus long enough to write down all the little conversations I’ve been having with you in my head.
I kind of miss just being able to faff about on the internet doing a whole lotta nuthin at times, but these days I am mostly working and trying to find more work (still not quite there in terms of making ends meet). But it’s good that I’m so busy, doing things I enjoy. I should maybe get a voice recording app for my iPhone to remember all the little things I think of telling this or that person when they come to mind, then write it out later. Because another reason for not writing back is that I often go blank not knowing where to begin. Gotta get more organised… or something! What do you suggest?
