Honesty

Leadership -- of the family, an organization, our society, or even the nation -- erodes and eventually falls apart without honesty and integrity. Honesty is the keystone that holds any organization together.
(Gordon B. Hinckley, Stand A Little Taller, 16 September)

I used the Chrome browser.  On the left side of the bookmark toolbar I have a button labeled Access I use this to store links to applications that I frequently use such as my blogs, Facebook, MS OneDrive, my Wiki and my Google Sites webpages.  I let the list get rather long. When I took a closer look I discovered that some of the folders included links to applications that were also included as standalone links.  Yesterday I created several new folders, moved bookmarks into the appropriate folders and deleted any duplication from each folder. The Access button should work better after the housekeeping.

Clear Thinking

The root of many of our emotional problems lies in a lack of clear thinking - clear thinking based on Scripture.  (Selwyn Hughes, Every Day Light, Day 224)

Last night I worked on a project learning how to use the ten "Pages" that are available with each Google blog.  It turned out to be more complicated than I anticipated.  In the end I decided to leave learning about "tabs" until later.  I created a "Page" and then I added a link to the page in the sidebar of Mr. Dickie's Blog.  I'm planning to use the "Page" to store links to some of the webpages I look at frequently.  Early this morning I realized I can keep the web address of the "Page" private if I want.  I added the address of the "Page" to the Business button on my Chrome toolbar.  I can click on Business to access the drop down list of bookmarks and then click on "Mr. Dickie's Blog: My Private Links" to go to the Google page with my special links.  For now, you can take a look at the "Page" via the entry in the sidebar.

Doers

Doers stand out not for the brilliance of what is done but for their courage in stepping into the unknown, in daring to lead and mark the way for others, who in seeing it done, might find the inner strength to take their first steps. (Mike Magee, M.D., The Book Of Choices, p. 144)

Yesterday I filled the 1Gb SD card I installed in my Oasis player. I have another 2Gb card ready to receive more music when I have time to work on music projects.

I worked on a project to edit the MCC website "Links" page yesterday. I added some category titles, checked and repaired the broken links, installed a "Home" button at the top and bottom of the page which fixed one that wasn't working, ordered the links under the new category titles, and removed one link that I couldn't fix. I'm planning to uploaded the modified page today.

BookCrossing - The World's Biggest Free Book Club - Catch and Release Used Books

This is a link to the BookCrossing a site with ideas about how to share your old books.

I have this site bookmarked in my Delicious bookmarks. Today I installed the Delicious add-on in Firefox. This is neat. Now if I want to "feature" a website from Delicious in one of my blogs I can use BlogThis! to post the link.

Adding Color to My Blogs

Look at your family history as a blessing. Yes a blessing! It's precisely what you had to go through to arrive where you are today. (Wayne Dyer, Excuses Begone!, p. 56)

The biggest obstacles to understanding the truth are lies disguised as truth. (Anonymous in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 15 September)

We don't get to know today what will happen tomorrow. (Courage to Change, 16 September)

Yesterday I finished the project to add "labels" to the postings on my genealogy "News" blog. There were some obsolete postings that I deleted and some postings that I modified because they included links to webpages no longer available. Currently this blog has approximately 230 postings.

I realized that my blogs needed changes in the blog settings. For example, the "links" weren't changing color when visitors viewed them. I set the unvisited "links" color to a shade of blue and the color of the visited "links" to a shade of red. I didn't have time to make these changes on all four blogs. There's always something to learn.
