Yeah. It'll show your email address if you point to the Anonymous link but you have to have an account to have it say your name, I think. Or you could just sign your posts in the text box.

Thanks MK. Guess I'll just sign the posts.

I have figured out the other problem too. I had accidently deleted some necessary HTML from the template

This is an apology to Di, Jenesis, and someone else who left a nice comment on my photo a day - all your nice comments are deleted. It was an accident when I tried to replace the large images with smaller ones.

I'm using PixelPost, which seems okay, but since it's on my own server, I can upload any size image. I didn't realize how slow it would be on a modem until today. I am so unfamiliar with how this works that I'm screwing things up now in the beginning - but I guess that's how I'll learn :-)

By the time July rolls around, I should have my PaD admin knowledge down enough that there shouldn't be such a risk of having your comments deleted when you are so kind to leave them!

Thanks for the comments, and thanks Konador for adding me to your list. It really makes me feel more determined to put a little effort into this!

Did we all make it through week one? Only 51 to go :)
01/07/2006 04:44:33 PM · #331
I have had at lot of fun with it this week. I am afraid of slipping into to much of a snapshot mode, but so what. I also have to say I have had some nice comments as well.
01/07/2006 06:19:15 PM · #332
Made it through week 1 ok, though there were a couple of close calls! I can see that it will definitely be difficult for me to attain the level of creativity I WANT this Pad to have....but I gotta keep trying. I'm hoping that in the months to come, the blocks will break down and I'll see some real progress.
01/07/2006 06:20:35 PM · #333
I made it...just put up today's about 20 minutes ago. Though after the first year it's more or less a habit now! ;)

Don't be afraid of that! It's what makes the project fun. You don't HAVE to put up a ribbon-worthy shot every day. That's the beauty of it all. :)

Phew! With only a couple of minutes to go (UK time), I've put up my 7th day photo. Week one accomplished. I am loving this challenge - fantastic! Thanks so much to everyone who is taking the time to make comments. I'm enjoying viewing (and commenting on) the great photos everyone else is taking aswell. Pat on the back for everyone, I think. =;-)

I also got my Saturday shot up recently. Monday it's back to work, so its going to be harder to keep up the PAD, but I intend to try. I am already getting into the habit of taking a camera with me pretty much everywhere, even if it's just the P&S.

Thanks to everyone for your comments on my photos, I appreciate your taking the time. I have tried to comment on as many as I can recently, knowing that come Monday, I may not have the opportunity to comment as frequently as I have been.

Feel free to add me to your Hello List and drop a line if you see me online.

This time around seems so much easier than last year. Although I didn't make it everyday last year, I'm pretty confident that this year will be different.

I have to say that I'm enjoying checking everyone's blogs each day. It's interesting to see what other folks are coming up with. Thanks to all leaving comments or even for just stopping by to check things out.

And John, don't worry about the snapshot thing, it's bound to happen over the course of a year (maybe more often then not in my case) :-) It's just the act of getting in the habit of taking the photos and seeing your daily surroundings in a different way each day. And sometimes the quick snapshots turn out to the best posts anyways.

I noticed on the profile pages that we have our Chinese zodiac animals listed. I think we should all do a shot of that animal. Sometime during the year. That would be fun.

Year of the Rat here and I don't plan on getting anywhere close to one of those, unless it's stuffed and of the toy species. :-)

if I plug my birthday in - it says I'm an Ox !! How insulting! I removed my birthday - so there.
01/09/2006 10:01:10 PM · #347
I follow a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy on my age, hence no zodiac fun!

Am aware am seriously behind on commenting, but I sure do appreciate those that have come to visit and will do my best to return the favor, ASAP! I'm involved in tax season, so please don't think I'm ignoring you or being selfish, I'll be along shortly to your blog....

The OX
1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997
Ox people are hard-working and persistent, they can stick at a task longer and go at it harder than anybody. They believe in themselves and tend to classify almost everything into two basic categories, bad and good. They hold up their high standards as a model and severely judge those who don't aspire to maintain these same ideals.
Ox people are not social or party animals, they tend to be quiet when in a party. Although appears to be tranquil, in fact, Oxens are ponderous but impulsive when angry. They are capable of fearsome rages, therefore, it is better not to cross an Oxen.
Ox people are observant, they have remarkable memories and are good at reporting on absolutely everything they observe. Go ask an Oxen if he remembers who were at the party 8 months ago, most likely, he will name them one by one to you.
In the home, the Ox is a great guy to have around. In business, the OX can succeed in the arts, a contracting business, or an estate., thanks to their creative nature. And since an Ox is intelligent and good at his hands, he can be a good surgeon as well.
Ox people are stubborn and dogmatic, they believe in their decision and will never regret. They are also very close to their families. disappointedly, Oxens often find that those who are close to them fail to understand them. Nevertheless, they are patient, and caring and that makes the Oxen the best friend you can ever have.
Oxens are very responsible and loyal. Ox people are seldom jealous. but they will be jealous of their rights; and the fidelity of a husband or a wife is one of their rights. They are very family-oriented, conservative and faithful.
The Ox works hard, patiently, and methodically, with original intelligence and reflective thought. These people enjoy helping others. Behind this tenacious, laboring, and self-sacrificing exterior lies an active mind. While their balance and strength inspire confidence, Oxen can seem rigid, obstinate, and slow. They impress others as leaders, fearing neither responsibility nor risk. However, sometimes they must labor long hours to accomplish little.
The Chinese say the time of year and day an Ox is born is important in determining lifestyle. One woman in Hong Kong bragged that she would always be financially provided for with minimal effort on her part because she was born on a winter night. Oxen have little to do during the winter months, she explained, because the sweat of summer and fall harvesting is over and it is up to the farmer to feed and keep the oxen warm so they'll have strength for spring planting. Oxen born during agricultural months, however, are sentenced to a life of hard labor.
People born under the influence of the Ox are kind, caring souls, logical, positive, filled with common sense and with their feet firmly planted on the ground. Security is their main preoccupation in life, and they are prepared to toil long and hard in order to provide a warm, comfortable and stable nest for themselves and their families. Strong-minded, stubborn, individualistic, the majority are highly intelligent individuals who doen't take kindly to being told what to do.
Although Ox people don't ask to be put in the limelight, they do like to be boss, for these quietly dominant types enjoy being in positions of power. Oxen try to instill in those around them the rigor, determination and power of work which they themselves possess. Respecting others, they are always open to a dialogue. Even though they may not broadcast their virtues to the world, nevertheless it is that steady, conscientious attitude that will deservedly see them to the top.
The Oxen's childhood and youth will generally be without incident. It is in the second part of their lives that they will encounter difficulties to do with their marriage. Their partners may well take offense at their apparent indifference and seek consolation elsewhere in an attempt to find the romance so conspicuously absent at home. If this happens and the Ox cannot put things right by the exercise of intelligence, the ruin of the entire family may be risked as Oxen have no time for a deviation they are unable to understand. During the third part of life, Oxen may suffer enormous difficulties but if they can manage to smooth them out, their old age will be peaceful.
Oxen make solid, steady, reliable partners. They can be tender, devoted, sensual even -- but they are never romantic. Very affectionate to those close to their hearts, they are cool and distant to anyone outside their emotional circle. Getting close to an Ox is a very difficult thing to do, for they hold all but their chosen few at arm's length. However, once they have committed themselves, they make loyal, steadfast lovers and are the least likely of all the signs to possess a roving eye. Casual love affairs are definitely not the Ox's style. Although they may not show it, their emotions are deep and passionate. If their love is spurned or if they should suffer a broken heart, they will retreat inside themselves and channel all their emotions into their work. Generally, they make no mistakes in their judgment of others, successfully merging their romantic and family lives. Happily settled in a contented relationship, an Ox will make a supportive and faithful partner, someone whose love grows stronger by the year and whose sterling qualities are worth his or her weight in gold.
The Rooster, Rat and Serpent get on very well with Oxen. There are struggles and problems with the Monkey, and a lack of understanding with the Ram and the Boar.
Popular belief is adamant that the Ox should under no circumstances set up house with the Tiger. Such a partnership would inevitably end in a battle that could terminate only with the departure or disappearance of the Tiger. The Ox, the stronger of the two, would keep on charging until the Tiger was destroyed. An Ox mother could never get on with a Tiger child -- better for the latter to leave home!
February is the month of the Ox. The time of the Ox is from 1:00 a.m. to 2:59 a.m.; their direction of orientation is north-northeast. The Ox's color is violet.

Snake 85 - This union can be a good one.
Horse 37 - Unfortunately, they are part.

Monkey 81 - Nice. They are compatible and stable.
Rooster 86 - You are lucky enough to find each other.
Dog 62 - Difficult, but possible.
Pig 69 - why not, it worths a try.

actually that pretty much is me except for this part:
"Ox people are observant, they have remarkable memories and are good at reporting on absolutely everything they observe. Go ask an Oxen if he remembers who were at the party 8 months ago, most likely, he will name them one by one to you."

I have a terrible memory
