Been a while

It has been some time since I was last here blogging.  A lot has been going on.

• My ISP has changed the email system and I was intermittant and sometimes totally out of the email business.  It still is not correct since my SMTP will still not work.  I use Outlook and have 5 accounts set up.  My default was my ISP but I had to change it to gmail so I could send mail.
• The Christmas Letter 2009 was finished several days ago but I could not send it.  I have two Christmas Letter groups with about 25 names in each group.  I sent the letter days ago and it appeared to go OK to each group.  Things were strangely silent after that.  I almost always get a comment or two -No Comments.  Sure enough many people did not get the letter.  I sent it again & the same thing happened.  Finally I started sending them individually.
• Church website is http://www.angolaag.com and I took on the task of cleaning it up a bit.  That took a surprizing amount of time and the activity continues.  I spent a couple of days just getting used to the CMS GUI.  As it turns out I have to hand code most of the stylesheet controls.  The CMS also used depreciated HTML such as <font> and <b>.  The code is also very dirty – for example if you do a test size 3 and later change it the code calls for a size three and then nests the size 4.  Now I am looking for some good gif’s or Flash to replace some of the drab pictures. I did a few IFRAMES too.
• Last night was the Primetimers group at church so we both attended.  It was entertaining and the pizza that SAM made was good.  We got home about 2100 hrs.

Now I have to figure out what I do with the Christnas News Letter 2009. To publish or not to publish?
