Ellen: Notice above there is a new button called Stories. It links to an intro page that says little … that’s because it’s waiting for you.
I know you’re busy packing. And that’s the main thing. But, when you’ve the time, go to the Site Admin page. Instead of posting anything, look in the left hand column for the Pages button. Press it. The browser will refresh and you’ll find yourself looking at a list of blog pages. Several pages on this list you will recognize – they are the titles of your stories left on this computer. You’ll notice to the right of each story’s name is the word “draft”. That means the page has not been published. If you would like to publish the stories on the blog, then, please, after you’ve tweeked them, and before you click the Publish button, scan down the right column for the word “Attributes”. It is here that you MUST make each story the child of a parent page – in this case, each story must be made the child of the Stories’ page. Of course, you can leave all this until you get back from camp. Or, you can delete them, if you’d rather. Anyway, I wanted to answer your question about which stories I have, and I wanted to give you the option of posting them here, or not.
Anyway, I’ve read these pieces. Lots of feeling. Can you ask one of your characters to spend about five pages looking at a wildflower popping out the hot sands of a summer camp? A focused meditation on any single object? As long as that single object is not the dark eyes of some young man! Well, OK. As long as the focus is purely meditative.
Speaking of eyes … someone recently suggested blue or green would probably best add to the brightness of yours. I asked. I asked someone with eyes like yours. Yeah. Believe it or not.
I LOVE YOU
PS: Commenting to my own post … Just discovered something. If you do all I ask above, the pages will not appear anywhere. So, you will have to do a bit more for Papi. Or, not. I’ll do it myself, IF you decide to publish the stories. BUT the important thing is that a link to each story page be created on the Stories page so that any one of the three of us (it’s just us three, right?) can access the stories. How? How to create a link? Easy. Tedious. Time-consuming. But easy. In the Edit Page, Visual window for the Stories page make a list of the stories: type the names in a column, hi-lite the column, then press the third or the fourth button in top row of edit buttons. Whala! You have a list. NOW! To add a link to the a story’s title requires you to first copy the link. Where is the link? Open a second browser window. Navigate to WordWorth. Navigate through WordsWorth to the story page you want. Make the story load in the second browser window. Go to the web address bar at the top of the browser window. Hi-lite it. Copy it. NOW you’ve got it! Go back to your first browser window with the list of stories. Hi-lite the story title the cooresponds to the link you copied. Find the link button among the edit buttons. Click the link button. In the dialog that next loads, select all the of the first cell. Paste the link you copied. Whew! Too much work, huh?! Way too much. Did I make sense? Did you fall asleep? Are you there? Hola? Ché! Donde estás?! Neko? Ellen? Nellie? ShadowPrincess? Come in, over.
Has your mother heard HIM? Very imaginative lyrics! Extreme. Love is going to be better than that for you. Really. It might be scary, considering what you’ve seen and heard of marriage, but it’s good. Your mom and I are going to show you that. We’re committed to showing you that – love is good. I haven’t seen her for months, but I know that – she and I both want to show you that love is good, and not being possessed or overwhelmed or buried or dieing. I liked the way the movie Twilight handled love in the final scenes with the two dancing slowing alone together in the gazebo – she ready to surrender, he deciding to spare her. Of course, if you are all the characters in that dream, you will decide to spare yourself. And you will – I know you’ve got what you need. I watched you get it, right? Anyway, I’m yakking now. Your turn. DAD
