Joe and Jamie's Blog

I haven’t had anything to post about in the past few months and it’s starting to bug me! Unfortunately that means that I haven’t done anything besides the normal which saddens me even more.

Luckily there is plenty coming up for me to post about. Now I just need to make notes to ensure I remember to post about them, like the Christmas post that I still haven’t compiled yet.

Lets see we have a part to go to in early February, Valentine’s Day, Jamie and a friend’s birthday on the same day, soon after my birthday, a hockey game, and the start of the MLS season which we have season tickets for!

On the birthday subject, Jamie and our friend Missy having the same birth date is pretty funny, no one actually ever realized it until a few days ago so it should be fun come that weekend celebrating both.

So yeah, here’s just a little reminder for me what to post about and a hint for what you will be reading next, enjoy.

I finally sat down and figured out how to make Joe and Jamie’s Blog look better for mobile readers. Well it turns out there are simple plugins out there that take all of two seconds to install and voila, mobile-fied.

So why did I put it towards the bottom of the list for a rainy day? Not sure, guess I thought it would take hours of work.

I decided to to add mobile capabilities because sadly I am on my BlackBerry as much as my computer, if not more. So now you all have even less of an excuse to read this blog, you can do so anywhere you get a signal.

Just go to the blog on your cell phone as you would normally, but this time it will detect you’re on a mobile browser and arrange the blog into a readable format that’s easy on the eyes and easy to navigate. Nothing fancy needs to be done. Try it out, maybe you’ll find it more convenient and stop by more often.

If you have a WordPress blog and are interested in this plugin, you can check it out here. I chose to use WordPress Mobile Edition. You can’t customize the theme too much and there isn’t many options, but it works really well with pictures and links. Another one is WordPress Mobile Pack, which you can customize the crap out of it (colors, sidebars, etc), but it didn’t display links correctly so I scrapped that one.

Sorry for all the post delays, I know I promised stuff two weekends ago but I’ve been super busy and haven’t had time to sift through hundreds of photos to choose for each post. I finally did that tonight, so now I can start to compose each post. I’ll start off with the hotel review then carry through with Miami, a camping trip, and stock car driving.

Jamie has a nice story to tell of something that happened right before vacation, but we’ll see if she finally makes her first post or not. If she does, I’ll insert it right after this post so keep looking for it!

Stay tuned.

Miami Beach is awesome.

I have so much to post about, so here is the short version.

Internet was $14 a day at the resort, so I didn’t pay for it so I couldn’t blog! Sorry but I cannot justify such a needed technology being that price per day. I know people that pay that much per month.

I’ll have everything ready to go tomorrow, backing up pictures and unpacking now. Getting tired, flight delayed 6 hours so I’m not the happiest camper right now.

Chao for now.

I updated the blog theme to the latest version today, hoping it would fix some format errors that I had to manually fix in the previous versions. Please let me know if anything doesn’t work or looks wierd on your browsers. I’ve tested for the past few hours but I could be missing something…

Yup that right, Joe and Jamie’s Blog turned one year old today. I can’t believe a year has gone by already. I am just thinking how one year ago I sat here not knowing anything about blogs or Wordpress, and comparing it to what it is today.

I have enjoyed blogging very much over the past year. It is something I look forward to after each event we go to or fun thing we do. Jamie laughs at me when I run upstairs to get the camera, or get bumbed out if I forget it. I like the idea of having a journal of what we do to reference in the future, and having it online to be accessible anywhere and share with friends is even better.

So hooray for one year, can’t wait for the next. Thanks to all the readers and supporters out there.

Kinda got lazy for a few weeks, not really busy, just pure laziness. I have a ton of posts I want to write. I just rambled off three of them, be on the look out for a few more tonight and some more tomorrow. Be sure to read them all, some cool stuff happened in February.

100 Posts Milestone

We’ve made it to the first milestone…100 posts!! I can’t believe it took me almost a year, but hey, I’m here now!

I love how my spam comments are ten times greater than my actual comments, but I’m sure thats normal.

Thanks to all the constant readers out there. Maybe during the next 100 Jamie might actually post at least one of them!
