It helps me to say these things aloud, I think.

I got the Subscriptions feature working again. If this post was emailed to you then you know that you are currently subscribed to my blog. You will receive an email whenever a new post is published.
You can manage your subscription settings or sign up as a new subscriber here.
Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.
World, say “Hello” to my new blog server. I’ve finally migrated from my old Ubuntu server to a new Windows-based blog server, hoooray! I’m really excited about this change because I think it will be much easier for me to maintain. I also hope it will be easier to use. It seems that some of the latest features of WordPress should help overcome the roadblocks I face when blogging.
There are a few changes you might want to know about. First, email from the blog is out of commission and I don’t know when it will be back. I need to install a mail server to get it to work (I think) and I haven’t had time to do so yet. Who knows when that feature will be back, but until then, please use the ‘Subscribe to Feed’ button at the top-left to subscribe to this blog’s RSS feed.
Second, my domain has changed. The blog is now found at
http://www.iheartdavids.com/blog
I’ve made this change so we can manage future projects at the root URL. Right now, however, if you go directly to www.iheartdavids.com, you will be redirected to the blog.
Please update your blogroll if you’re linking to me.
Thirdly, all of my permalinks are broken and I just can’t figure out how to fix it. This means that any links you had to my blog that looked like this:
http://www.jeniqblog.com/2007/03/my-date-with-David-Bowie/
will no longer work. My blog posts will, unfortunately, be linked only by their post numbers, like this:
http://www.iheartdavids.com/blog/?p=246
Lames, I realize, but as I say, I haven’t found a fix that works. Let me know if you have any ideas. I’d love to implement a fix at a future date.
There have been a few cosmetic changes and will likely be more in the future. Otherwise, I think that’s it. Please let me know if you find any errors. Thanks for reading and keep those comments coming!

Cristin posted this on her blog. It was fun so I decided to give it a try. See what you can make of it and please do one yourselves because it’s fun!
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 3: Use italics on the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.
Step 6: Cristin, you’re not eligible to play. Sorry. 🙂
1. Oooooh Weaving down a byroad/ singing the song
2. Pack a pack horse up and rest up here/ on black country rock
3. The return of the thin white duke/ throwing darts in lovers eyes
4. For we’re living in a safety zone/ don’t be holding back from me
5. Sleep on the left side/ leave the right side free
6. Baby, I’ve been/ breaking glass in your room again
7. Had to sing for my supper/ I never help my neighbor
8. Sometimes you get so lonely/ sometimes you get nowhere
9. Cruisin’ mos espa in my delorian/ war’s over I’m a peacetime mandalorian
10. Well it’s a strange old game/ you learn it slow
11. A change of speed, a change of style/ A change of scene, with no regrets
12. Speak to me in your sweet voice/ And take me through another night
13. Do you really wanna run away with me/ Would you really like to run away with me
14. I’ll make you a deal/ like any other candidate
15. A man with haunted eyes showed up at my door last night
16. Now and then it keeps you running/ never seems to die / trails spin with fear
17. I’m an alligator/ I’m a momma poppa comin’ for you
18. Mystery wind, blowin’ tonight/ drivin’ rain, close up tight
19. Sometimes I walk around town lookin at faces / Wondering why their bodies go to silly places
20. I’m sailing down the summer wind/ I got whiskers on my chin/ And I like the mood I’m in
(I swear it was on shuffle.)
Interesting, but not completely unexpected.
If you have a Blogger account with which to blog, I have a suggestion for you to help those of us who like to comment on your blog. Please stop showing profile images on comments. When you show profile images on comments, IE throws a security warning every time you attempt to load that page. It’s annoying.
If you want to fix it, log into your Blogger Dashboard, go to the Settings tab and choose the Comments menu.
Set this option:
Show profile images on comments? to No
And while you’re at it, can you disable Word Verification?
This is for my crystal sister Cristin.
[Can’t figure out a good pic for this post…]
There’s been a few changes made around here, have you noticed?
Some incredibly helplful friends have helped me migrate my blog to a new domain, www.iheartdavids.com. And I created my new header graphic all by myself!
I am super-excited about my new domain name! I love it!!
So, please update your bookmarks and your blogrolls. And w00t! for me.
Oh HAI! I noticed that some people guessed on our pregnancy pool that I don’t even know! Who are you? Come on, step up to the plate and introduce yourselves. See that little “comment” box down there? Go on, you know you want to. (No, seriously, I want to meet you!)
I’ve posted about our first two birthing classes over on my pregnancy blog.
