Bloggiesta Finish Line with the Dowager Countess

Well another Bloggiesta has come to an end. Last year, I had Captain Jack Sparrow take you on a tour of my new and improved blog.  But he’s too drunk right now to be bothered.  So I asked around and no one seemed willing to come on a tour of what I accomplished this weekend besides the lovely Dowager Countess.  She came all the way from Downton Abbey.

She’s really excited to be here.

Me: Hi Dowager! What do you think of my blog? I wanted to take you on a tour.

Dowager: First electricity, now telephones. Sometimes I feel as if I were living in an H.G. Wells novel.

Me: LOL. Time flies doesn’t it? So do you like the new navigation?

Dowager: I don’t dislike it. I just don’t like it…which is different.

Me: YAY! :D Mission accomplished.  My blog now automatically posts to Facebook and Tumblr now, too.  It’s one thing less I have to do anyway.  Sometimes it feels as if there is so much to do that I’ll never get it done.

Dowager: Don’t be defeatist dear, it’s terribly middle class.

Me: Right. Sorry. I changed all the featured images on the posts that looked wonky from my new theme. And I cleaned up the sidebar.  I was on the computer forever.

Dowager: I couldn’t have electricity in the house, I wouldn’t sleep a wink. All those vapors floating about.

Me: I know. Being on the computer so long probably isn’t good for me.  Did you notice that my name comes before and after my posts now and is linked to a new about me page!?

Dowager: And when may you suspect an offer to appear on the London stage?

Me: Pfft any day now with how awesome my blog is.  Oh. You were serious. Um, anyway.  This weekend I also changed the link colors to be different when you click them and when you don’t.

Dowager: What is a weekend?

Me: Well….it’s………..Oh look I changed my currently reading badge to be just the pretty cover! Isn’t it pretty?

Dowager: No.

Me: Well, you’re wrong.

Dowager: I’m never wrong.

Me: Ok. Maybe you have a point there.  But I fixed my dates to be all fancy!

Dowager: What? Oh I’m sorry I started dozing off for a second.

Me: Well now you’ve just made me look ridiculous.

Dowager: Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.

Me: Hmm. Very true.  Well thanks for coming on the tour with me! It was mostly fun.

Dowager: Yes. Well. I need a drink….Oh, I’m so sorry… I thought you were a waiter.

Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait til Bloggiesta in September.  See you all then!
