The Votes Are In!

Between the poll and the comments, I tallied up the score. Here are the results.


Question: Should I make the blog public or not/change it up?




NO: Five votes
YES: Six votes
NOT SURE: Three votes
EITHER IS FINE: Four votes


Yes wins by one point; The Wild Washingtonian is going public! I'm so excited to begin this journey with you all, thank you so much for putting forth your answers. But...

The blog is going to need a new name before I go public.

I think for my writing career I don't really want to expound on where I live too much. Y'know, in case those bad guys try to find me. ;) So I'm giving the blog a new name. My family is going to help me pick a name and I will reveal it on Monday. Also, a new post is going up Wednesday that I hope you all will check out. It's pretty fun.


Thanks for the votes and the comments. You all are the best!

    I've spring-cleaned and organized my blog once and for all. I "unfollowed" (finally figured THAT out) about 35 blogs from YEARS ago, some which do not even exist any longer! Whoosh!
    But I'd like to follow your blog, but you don't have a place for me to do that (to add it to my Reader List). And . . . why are there so many "Things" on this post a comment page, like your archives. Shouldn't that be on the actual blog?

    And it is driving me nearly crazy to see my picture show up on your blog comments, but NONE of them show up on mine. Even though they worked perfectly on my "test" blog of the exact same template. Something's fishy in Blogger land, I suspect. Grrrr.

    Oh, wait. Okay. I get it. The comment page is on the main page too. Interesting . . .

    My vote is to get yourself some sidebars so folks don't have to scroll so far down the page to see stuff. :-)

    Haha, thanks for all the comments, Andi. I have no idea how the "Add to Reader List" blog thingy works. I never could get it to work on my blog(s). I don't even know how to get it. :)
    As far as the sidebar things go, I got this template from a different website than blogger. I actually uploaded this template myself and added the codes. I don't know how to change the sidebars without altering the code. Sorry about that. :) Thanks for the comments, though! The only way I know how to follow blogs is to copy the blog address, go to my dashboard on the blogger website and paste it manually into "add blogs". That's all I know to do. ;) Hope that helps!

      Do you both mean the "Followers" tab? If you were looking for that, it can be found on the "More Gadgets" button under the "Gadgets" tab in your blog layout.
      Hope this helps! :)

      Yeah, if you go to your blog layout, click on "add a gadget" then click on "more gadgets". If you scroll to very the bottom of the first page, there is something called "Followers". Just add it to your blog :)

    Yay! I'm happy for you. You can turn some of your post into pins if you want to get your website out more. I found lots of writing blogs that way, and it's pretty easy to do. I'm not sure how fast you want to be public, but that is one way to get it out there! :)

      I noticed that from your pinterest. I definitely will do that, soon as I finish up designing my site and changing a few things. Thanks for the suggestion, JT! :D

    Can't wait to see the new name! I was wondering though, does that mean you'll be creating another blog? Or is it possible to change the blog address on this blog?

      You can change the blog address and name separately.

      Thanks girls! The cool thing is, I can change the blog's name and blog address (the blogspot address) without changing the blog. I'm really glad about that. Thanks for commenting!
      Happy Easter! He has Risen!

      Thank you, Bethany! And thank you for understanding, I think this is best for now to just keep this blog and the posts I've done. It helps build my platform as someone who does know how to blog. :)

Polyushko Polye: A Song With a History

Image
I promised you all I would let you hear the real Russian song, Polyushko Polye, so here it is! in Crylic it's  Полюшкo Поле. Earlier I got a request from one of the readers for the sheet music because she couldn't find it online, so it you would like to find the sheet music you have to write in Russian полюшко поле ноты для пианино, which literally translates as "Field my field (or meadowland) notes to piano". You won't find the sheet music in English, but the notes are the same no matter what language you speak. ;D  I'd like it to be noted that this song has been around for a long  time now (1933) and since then it has gone through several spelling and name changes changes. So here are the lists of known names for this song.

It's About Time...For an Update!

Goodness I expected to blog so much more after I got married because I thought my life would slow down. Nope, I was wrong. XD Heelloooo blog readers! Long time no see! So, where to begin on updates? Right after our first kiss! Rifka and Lina! Lucas and I got married on February 2nd and have now been happily married for eight months to the day. We have moved once since we've gotten married and have acquired two new family members---Rifka our Karelian Bear Dog/Shetland Sheepdog mix and Lina, our crazy tri-colored tabby with far too much energy for a normal cat! Over the last eight months, I have been sick with the flu, mono, and countless colds and sinus infections but since seem to be on the rise with better health, a huge praise! Lucas was promoted at his job and is now a foreman, and enjoys making jokes about how unbearably hard and cruel of a foreman he is. (Lucas being bossy is the farthest thing from his personality as could be humanely possible.) Lu
