Erik – you’re working now, before you sent out a test post, and it came up with “this post doesn’t exist” good to see you have it all worked out. Take care, from KY.
Kathy, thanks for letting me know, that helps. Was doing some work on the site design and looks like I deleted something I shouldn’t have! Took a while to figure out but seems like things are back in order.
I just found out today I will be in Kentucky speaking at a college in September. Looking forward!
It worked for me too. Glad to get an update again. I wasnt sure why I wasnt getting them, glad to know its fixed! Thanks
Kevin, nice to hear! Still working on a few tweaks on the site but getting there.
Maybe it’s me but reply posts are overlapping side links. The site looks great, I love the Encyclopaedia addition.
Thank you ShOm! You are right, the reply comments are overlapping the side right now in Internet Explorer. Firefox and other browsers should be okay, but am working on getting it fixed for Explorer. As I am not an expert, I may need to call in some help!
How goes the book sales and selling experience, by the way?
As far as books, seems to be keeping pretty steady! I have some more talks and interviews this month which I’m looking forward to.
I didn’t know where to share this, but this morning, September 13, 2010, I read a comic strip that made reference to the Amish. It’s a strip called “Pooch Café”, it is about a dog and his exploits. It is online if you want to take a look. The story today had one main character’s puppy-hood litter-mates adopted by an Amish family. The joke is funny to both the dog person and the Amish sympathiser, but my description won’t do it justice. I’m not providing a link though, I just wanted to share.

Thanks ShOM, I admire anyone brave enough to combine those two topics in one cartoon
