And We Are LIVE on WordPress!

And We Are LIVE on WordPress!

Yes, I know this is not nearly as exciting for you as it is for me.  But this is my blog, so you have to suffer through my verbal happy dance to get to the goodies like recipes, contests and delightful photos.  Happy Dance, Happy Dance, Happy Dance! A couple of small favours to ask of you my kind and generous readers: If you have a second, please leave a quick comment on the blog, facebook or twitter! I’m doing a little test of Livefyre to manage comments and see if social comments will filter through so we can have…

Unsweetened.ca’s Moving Day. WordPress Here We Come!

Unsweetened.ca’s Moving Day. WordPress Here We Come!

Yes, it’s true, we are moving to wordpress and we’re moving today! Hold your horses (not your breath), and cross your fingers that all the name server, DNS mapping and RSS configuration we did in 2006 will get changed smoothly and quickly! If you are subscribed by RSS, there may be some hiccups.  Maybe you can check the site directly later this week if you don’t see a “Hooray it worked seamlessly” coming through your reader or email. Ready, set, transfer!

I Blog A LOT!

I Blog A LOT!

I’m in the process of moving unsweetened.ca from Typepad to WordPress. Yes, I have caved. In fact, the next blog post you see from unsweetened.ca may just be on wordpress.  You shouldn’t notice much of a difference. But check out this boring photo. Notice the last import line? 1415.  Importing post Day 1 – On the Road Again… That’s 1415 blog posts, since I started blogging in 2004. I blog a LOT!

Typepad Features CETOblog

Typepad Features CETOblog

Serious Woo Hoo!   The CETOblog.com just got featured as part of Typepad Tour: Toronto: Join us in a tour of five Typepad blogs that capture the energy, creativity, and humor of Typepad customers in Toronto. Let’s start this tour with a great meal. The Cheap Eats Toronto blog offers a veritable treasure trove of reasonably priced restaurants, extending the reach of the book by the same name (published by Plethora Press). The restaurant gossip section keeps us up on who’s just opened, who’s closed, and who’s moved locations. The blog contains a poll called “Toronto Says”, offers updates on food festivals, and…

What is Vox to you?

What is Vox to you?

Many of the people I know who are using Vox already have and maintain popular blogs – personal and professional.  But Vox has been attractive and/or interesting enough to draw us over to check it out. My friend Kate notes that she is “writing a comparison between Vox and other mainstream oriented blogging software.” Vox is still new and evolving (see the ever growing template options), so I’m wondering what you think of Vox so far?  How are you using it? What is Vox to you? I’d love to see this as a QotD, but I think it’s unlikely to…

Vox Rox

Vox Rox

Notes [Manually cross-posted from unsweetened.ca] A while ago while flailing about looking for a multi-contributor hosted blogging product I signed up to be notified of a new product the folks at SixApart were working on.  At that point I thought it would allow me to setup multiple individual blogs and provide the ability to have all the sub-blog posts consolidate into a single overarching master-blog. Then just last week I received an invite to setup a Vox account. Vox is SixApart‘s a new turnkey “blogging and sharing” tool. “Woo Hoo!” I thought to myself, “let’s see what this puppy can…

I’m Peeking At You

I’m Peeking At You

If you are paying close attention, you might have noticed me peeking at you, kilroy-esque, from your navbar when you are checking out the posts on unsweetened.ca. Or if you are a reader of the CheapEats Toronto blog:  www.cetoblog.com or CheapEats Ottawa blog: www.ceotblog.com – you might have seen one of these or appear in your RSS reader. Inspired by the cool kids and thanks to some expert advice from Kate, I’ve been able to setup favicons for all our blogs.  (okay, I don’t have one for spunkymonkey.ca yet… but hey, when was the last time that guy blogged anything…

Sweet Shufflin’

Sweet Shufflin’

I just won an iPod Shuffle.  Then I tried to convince them I hadn’t won.  Really.  I did. Here’s the deal.  Lately, Typepad has been announcing a new widget partner every couple of days.  One of the widget partners is Tumri CornerStore, that “makes it easy for your readers to shop for relevant product offers without leaving your site.” I figured I’d play with it to see how it worked, so I set one up for “electronic gadgets” on TheApprenticeBlog.com. I got a little square box down at the bottom of the left-sidebar displaying cool gadgets and a price. Click…

Wooo Hooo. My first official “tag”… I feel so honoured. Of course I had to nudge Istocia a bit to tag me. (and I don’t even know them.) Four Jobs I’ve had: Geological Survey Camp Cook Au Pair Senior Technical Manager Recruiter
