Everytime I try to change the design of my blog, I end up almost losing the entire blog!:-D<br />Love the new look - have always loved 'the happy drinker' picture:-)<br /><br />However, I can't find the post on the book club so I can't tell you about my book submission. Is the thing still on?<br /><br />xo<br />Carinacarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086636830513427701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-50656944459008607232011-10-31T17:11:15.045-04:002011-10-31T17:11:15.045-04:00I think you're probably doing the right thing....I think you're probably doing the right thing. I did not plan on it, but I ended up with two blogs. I have one dedicated solely to Malta. Sometimes I toy with the idea of consolidating them but I am not sure I am ready for that yet.<br />Thanks for your comment. I did not design my blog background. It's a free background you can download. I use a site called The Cutest Blog On The Block (www.thecutestblogontheblock.com). They have many different designs to choose from.Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520908604580765632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-38184906471145012192011-10-31T13:49:39.602-04:002011-10-31T13:49:39.602-04:00It is so overwhelming to reconstruct your blog!

I don't think that's what most of us want. You may find that consolidating still allows you to do all you want as well as free up some time.

I love to look at it. To take a course is tampering with perfection in my opinion. <br />As for my own blog,...it may be a bit boring but it is a chronicle of my grandchildren's lives to allow them to look back someday as well as let them see who I am perhaps when I am gone.

Hi Sarah
Yikes...For Sarah.... a few college notes<br /><br />Hi Sarah<br /><br />Yikes...4 states, 8 college...you will be one busy woman! We found the following helpful...<br /><br />- Arrange for interviews, if possible. <br />-If you daughter has a particular interest, sport, music etc...arrange to see the coach or head of the department when you visit.<br />- My daughter sent thank you notes to everyone, including our guides. <br />- Collect business cards whenever you can.<br />- Attend the information sessions. We were a bit confused by the 'sessions'...best not to pass them up.<br />-Take lots of notes during and after each college visit. We wrote a synopsis together at the conclusion of each visit. It highlighted our first impressions...four months on, we are glad we did!<br />-Take photos of the campus..it was helpful to go back and look at them.<br />- You have the benefit of seeing schools during the school year. We saw them during the summer holidays. We wish we were in the States now to make a few follow up visits. I imagine you will get more out of your visits because you will be able to see the schools 'in action'.<br /><br />I came home and started a private blog for my daughter... dedicated to this whole experience. We copy and paste interesting articles, she writes and we go in and comment etc... We find it an easy way to keep all the information together especially when we want to go back and look at the notes from our college tours.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-38039862536498378982011-10-30T18:46:04.091-04:002011-10-30T18:46:04.091-04:00Thank you all for your encouraging comments...I fe...Thank you all for your encouraging comments...I feel a whole lot more comfortable with the direction I am heading in...

The answer being, of course, that we are constantly changing ourselves, and our blogs reflect that.<br /><br />I had forgotten your "other blogs" - I'm a Collage reader! - but have just enjoyed doing a bit of reading in both. I like the way you are combining them into one place with the opportunity to look at the other tabs. A good design, I think. <br /><br />Hope your exploration goes well and results in a lovely new construction. Good luck!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.com
