Blog Introduction for Yesterday's Dream Today

Blog Introduction: I started Yesterday's Dream Today as an experimental blog. It's a day book of sorts.. I was trying to discover how blog links work, and whether Blogger's free blogs were flexible enough to make multi-layered web sites. They are, though the planning and navigation can be a little difficult. It was a temporary blog, but I've decided to let it live. It will be my day book of personal projects and thoughts, and a reference spot for my other blog URLs. This blog won't be themed, as my other blogs are; yet it won't be a complete, disorganized catchall, as is my Reference-Materials blog. (That one works about like the strings "Uncle Billy" ties around his fingers in It's a Wonderful Life; probably not as well ~ indeed, Uncle Billy is more organized).

I will say this: that other blog has helped me keep up with our local Domino's Pizza phone number ~ which is harder than you think; I'm not sure why phone directories are so prejudiced against the location that's closest to me. I could also find the link to sunset times (important where I used to work) and instructions for setting font sizes on that old label maker we had; nobody could remember how. After I stumbled onto the idea of keeping the instructions on my blog, I was the label go-to girl. Loading the price-tape thingy, that was another necessity. Ah, and the instructions to that dang remote control ~ every blessed time the battery goes dead, I have to reprogram the thing. The blog worked better than a filing cabinet ~ nobody takes my instructions away.

Anyway, back to the point. That other blog is an encyclopedia of anything and everything I need to keep up with ~ addresses, websites, day-trip ideas, craft glues ~ any old thing I tend to lose ~ now there's a spot and I know where to find it. This blog is a little different. I'm going to use this one to post photos of scenes I might want to paint, stray thoughts or ideas, anything I need to keep ~ but on a more personal or journalistic note than in that other blog; yet, it's not so personal that it can't be a public blog. I can't say how useful it will be to anyone else, but feel free to browse. Cheers!
