I have inadvertently lost the list of blogs I follow here. Apparently I closed the Word document I’d saved the list to when I copied all my widgets. I have a partial list, and I will begin reconstructing that this weekend but if I miss you somehow please let me know so that I can include you. I apologize in advance for any errors and omissions that may ensue.

I am still hoping to get the s3Slider to function as well. I can make it function anywhere else but here, so it would seem to be related to my transfer of domains. If I can’t get it to work within the next few days I will have to look into possible solutions. Unfortunately, I require a slider that allows me to link articles to the images. For anyone interested in how it is supposed to look, please visit my test blog at hrafntest.blogspot.com. I think you will agree that it is a thing of beauty.

Thanks for your patience during the reconstruction process.

As you can see, I’m making some changed on A Heathen’s Day. And as usual not everything is going right. There is supposed to be a slideshow taking place in that black box. I used a test blog to work out all the kinks with this template since it’s a bit more complex than the old one. In particular, whoever converted it screwed up the javascript and I had to spend some time last night fixing that. Finally got it to work like a charm, but now that I put it here on Heathen’s Day it isn’t working. I am hoping the cause is whatever changes are taking place in moving Heathen’s Day from blogspot.com to it’s own .com. I can’t for the life of me figure out any other reason it would not work in both places (if that’s even a valid reason – have no experience in shifting a blog from one domain to another!)

At any rate, I hope you find it appealing. I can pack a lot more information into this format, particularly once the slider starts working. Apologies for any problems or frustrations meantime.

Build it and they will come…I have had A Heathen’s Day for four years now this month. 65,000 visitors and almost 1100 posts later, I’m giving A Heathen’s Day its own domain name: aheathensday.com.

I’ve been told “alheithinn” isn’t the easiest thing to spell either, so maybe this will help.

It will take about three days for the change to occur. Meanwhile, everyone will be redirected through blogger, thanks to blogger’s partnering with GoDaddy.com.

Seemed like time had come for some permanence. I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me over the years through your comments, suggestions, and most of all for the sharing of ideas. I’ve learned a lot and hop to learn a whole lot more.

Addendum: I Have also altered the blog’s title and description in Photoshop. For the title font I used Viking-Normal and for the description, Candara.

Note: All RSS feed settings will need to be changed. Apologies for that.

Very nearly done with the remodeling. I’ve made a few more changes to bring the rest of the blog in line with the previous changes and I think it’s looking pretty solid right now, not that I don’t reserve the right to make a few more tweaks here and there.

Don’t mind me…just playing around with the appearance of the blog, seeing what I can change without having to put up a whole new template. Sort of a precursor to getting into web development mode again with the coming change of seasons.
