I’ve been on WordPress for almost a 16 months. It’s been a fairly good place to have my blog, but I don’t have much control over the platform. Sure, I could pay for it, but why? So, I’m moving back to Blogger, where it all began a few years ago. I already write another blog for my employees there and it just makes sense to have everything in one place.

The title of the blog hasn’t changed, just the address.

  "The posters in this exhibition date from 1913 to 1943 and reflect developments in movie history. In 1909, William Selig moved the base of his operations from the East Coast to Edendale, known today as Echo Park. Other entrepreneurs followed, and soon Hollywood was populated by such stars as Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and Mabel Normand, all of whom went on to become producers, directors, and writers."

• How About Orange: DIY details
  Add a simple stripe of colored tape to shades to give your home a new look. Living in rentals I like ideas for decorating that are easily removed. I don't have shades currently in my little apartment, but if I did… It's also great if you're fickle and like to change things frequently.

• Helmet Liner Knitting Pattern
  This I could knit for DH…if he'd wear it. Maybe it would be like a taste of home and love when he deploys next year. I like the idea of him having something I made myself.
