My new food blog

by Celia » Sun Mar 01, 2009 1:13 am

I've joined the 200 million other bloggers out there, and started my own blog :

Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

I'm finding it very therapeutic! :)

Cheers, Celia

I checked in and had a look. G-i-r-r-r-r-l-l-l, you are too much!! Fabulous, honey. Delightful and peacful website, beautiful dialogue, gorgeous pictures, great recipes. You've left nothing out. I wish I had the commitment to start (I mean keep up) a blog. I'd call it FAMILY -- But, I Keep Trying!! Keep it up. :lol: I've put you in my favorites and will check in on occasion. Good to you!

Thank you all for being so encouraging! It's so nice to be able to just write sometimes - I'm really enjoying the process.

Nice job, Celia.

I hope you'll post little blurbs about your additions to the blog here on FLDG so you encourage folks to visit your blog. I'm adding yours as a Favorite, but advertising is always a good thing.

Best wishes, Bob

Couldn't stop posting here if I tried, Michael! ;) And Hoke, thanks, I get to write a cookbook when the 200 million bloggers in line before me have had theirs published.

Celia. Girl, jump the queue.

You've got more voice, more heart, more feeling than a whole lot of already published people.

*sigh* That's okay, C. When I realized I had begun to worry about having to color coordinate my neckscarf with the MINI each day, I started having second toughts.

Hi Celia

Nice blog, but I find the light-grey text hard to read.

Also a some posts start

Peter, thanks for letting me know! The strange code only seems to appear in IE - it wasn't showing up in Firefox. I've gone through and deleted it - the problem is, I compose my text in Word, but it won't let me cut and paste it in as plain text, so I have to go through manually and delete a whole lot of coding after I post. I'd love some advice on this, if anyone has any please! The grey font is non-adjustable - when you use Wordpress, you select a theme, and all the bits and pieces are then set accordingly. I really like the lime green banner at the top, so I'm kind of stuck with the font at the moment. Sorry!

Chef, thank you, that means a lot to me!

And Hoke, you could always get a white one - everything matches with white.. :wink:

Cynthia, could you do a favor for me?

Wander over to the F&F room, and slap the crap out of Stuart? He's goofing again. I can ignore him when he's like that, but he's sucking poor Brian into his devious obtusions.
