Exactly one year ago yesterday, September 26, 2007, was the debut of this blog and my first post.
When my web designer, Carmel Hall, of Celeste Teal Creations designed this blog, I had no idea exactly how I was going to utilize it. She designed the whole thing using the color scheme of my website, created the beautiful header at the top of the page and Carmel actually wrote the very first post and introduced the concept of “Weekly Acorns.” With that, I took the ball and ran.
At first I had planned to fully utilize its functionality as an interactive blog. But, I soon discovered that most of the comments I was receiving were regarding my massage therapy practice and had nothing to do with the neighborhood history. To go further, I began to get comments and registrations from spammers that had nothing to do at all with the purpose of the blog. So, I made a decision to restrict it to a non-interactive blog and to no longer allow comments.
In the near future I will be having Carmel to redesign the header to say “Weekly Acorns” instead of “Whoopee Hill.”
Then in the months ahead you can continue to be educated and entertained by the fascinating history of our wonderfully unique neighborhood, Oak Crest.
