Hey all, Today concludes the 3-part series on New Orleans that I have been guest blogging on Petit Fours & Hot Tamales blogsite. Many thanks to the Petit Fours & Hot Tamales Group for having me guest blog this month. Turns out, these posts have ideal timing since we are coming up on the Super Bowl, which is hosted in New Orleans this year. So read about my good ole hometown and enjoy! Part One was on Food & Drink in New Orleans. Part Two was on Things to do as a Family in New Orleans Part Three is on the Architecture of the City – types of styles, what to see, what to avoid, etc.
Hey all, One of my friends wanted to see these in digital format, so I took photos and am posting them here on my blog. For those who don’t know, Water’s Blood is Book One in an Elementals series I have been writing, and it will be released on 2/1/13. Here are pictures of the cover and the description. I ordered these postcards at gotprint.com, and they were absolutely delightful to deal with. So if you need any stickers, business cards, etc., I would recommend them highly :) Stay tuned for more blogs next week about the upcoming book release! Thanks! 
Hello all, Last Friday, I guest blogged about the food and beautiful sights of New Orleans, my original hometown. Today’s guest blog is about things to do as a family. The Crescent City, affectionately known as NOLA to many (NOLA = New Orleans Louisiana), is known for its French Quarter drinking and Bourbon Street decadence. So what happens if you take a family trip there? Is there anything to do with the kiddos? Of course! New Orleans never disappoints. Read my guest blog here for suggestions on family activities.
Hello all,
Feeling random today, and my brain is totally fried from the day job. So yes, I’m cheating. I’m doing an easy blog. How to make fish taste good and be easy to cook :)
I use tilapia, but you could probably use any sort of white fish. Take the frozen filets and place them in a pan (with sides). Drizzle olive oil over the filets and then use your spice of choice (salt, pepper, I use Tony’s Cajun seasoning), then cover pan with foil and let sit for about 20 minutes.
Then bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes and voila! Moist and flavorful fish and an easy recipe that doesn’t have to be pre-planned.
Goes great with steamed veggies which are also easy to make.
Enjoy!
Okay, it’s not *really* a contest or a battle, and WordPress *is* getting easier to navigate as I grow accustomed to it.
That being said, I think I have finally figured this program out!
Those who are thinking of updating their site or transferring their domain to a new hosting company (mine is now with Bluehost and I love them) should know that trying to do that at the same time as updating blog content and figuring out WordPress…
Well, you could say things have been a little stressed.
Going from my temporary URL to my permanent domain/URL was as simple as going into the Settings menu and changing the Home and Site URL links. I was worried that I would lose my information that way, but it didn’t.
The biggest pain about WP is setting up menus/navigation. I like to think I am computer savvy, but that was the hardest and most time-consuming task (perhaps because I think it should not have been).
Anyway, we all learn new things and this is what keeps the blood flowing. Stay tuned for more updates and info.
Reminder for those who missed my earlier blogs – WATER’S BLOOD, Book One of my Elemental Series, comes out on February 1, 2013. Stay tuned!
