ON FUN ~ Right This Way...

Edition #14 Thirteen Things about THE BUMBLES - and a tour of our blog since most of us never go beyond the post we've come to read... 1. Our Header & Background - Yes we know, it is very lame and blah. We're not techies here or anything ya know! Seriously, this is what Blogger gave us to work with and we're just too lazy and cheap to go looking for better options elsewhere. So we try to make up for it by making the posts themselves visually attractive and interesting. 2. As CCR should have sung, "There's A Sidebar on the Right." - Jackpot! A wealth of information - all you need to know really - can be found on our Sidebar. Consider it your directory to our blog. Keep reading for a quick overview. 3. Meet The Bumbles - This is the "About Us" section where you get to read what we want to share with you about who we are. Did you ever notice that no one ever shares any bad habits here? 4. Memes We Play - This is where we pimp the weekly events we take part in and a link to where you can go find even more that might be of interest. Here is your guide to what and when we are posting about these things. Love music but hate books? Stop by Fridays and skip Tuesdays. 5. Can't Get Enough Of The Bumbles - This is where anyone electing to Follow our blog shows up. We had no idea one could actually follow a blog until one day Sherry @ Nite Swimming showed up on our Dashboard as a Follower. After we realized this was not the blog equivalent of stalking, but actually a nice thing, we added this little gadget to give props to our groupies. 6. Labels - Here is the archive of all our posts. Saves you the trouble of having to scroll through all the actual posts to find the ones you want. Say you had lots of time on your hands and really wanted to catch up on Gym Rats, this is where you would find them all in one place. 7. What's On Our DVR - Uh, this is pretty self explanatory actually. Just a more exciting way to show you dear readers what quality programming and guilty pleasures we watch. So for example, if you were a Lost addict too you could let us know and we could share theories about the Island and where it went and who's really in charge and what's with the time travel...or not - sorry. 8. Favorite Links - Probably the least popular feature of the Sidebar in general. Does anyone ever really read these links, much less visit them? They're really there more for our convenience. But they do tell a little story about where we go on the web when we're not here. You could always click on one of the radio station links for some sound to accompany your perusing of our blog. 9. Molly's Recent Reads - This little widget (see how we worked in that tech vocabulary?) is really quite neat. It could be a little larger but it shows you shelves of the books Molly has recently read which you can page through and the ratings she has given them. If you are a member of Goodreads (which every bookworm really should be) then you can click here to read Molly's thoughts on these books. But be forewarned - that site is like crack for book junkies. 10. Netflix Queue - Netflix doesn't have any cool widgets (showing off again dropping the tech speak) so this extremely lame visual will have to do. It shows you a small sample of the movie titles we've most recently added to our queue for future viewing. Perhaps it will inspire you to share a review if you've seen one of the ones listed. 11. Favorite Place - If we weren't blogging we'd be here right now. Well - we'd be there between April and October. The rest of the time it is covered in snow so during those months we just stare at this picture and dream of next year. 12. Travelogue - We took an old handwritten list that we've been keeping for years and spent quite a bit of time re-creating it here. This is a list of every place we've been or would like to go. Each listing connects you to a link about the location and how to plan a visit. This is another section that is probably more of interest and use to us, but if you ever find yourself wondering what Machu Picchu is like we've got a link for you. 13. Bloggers Taking The Time To Visit Us - This is our version of the Blog Roll. Anyone who leaves a comment on our blog gets added to this section. This is where we keep track of all of you and go to get a quick glimpse into your blogs and current posts. We love our visitors and this is our launching pad to your world. And that concludes our tour -thank you for coming! If you care to leave a comment, know that you will be listed here and that we will come take a self-guided tour of your blog some day.
