I hope everyone enjoyed conference. It was definitely a different tone without President Hinckley but I think we can get used to it. Change is inevitable and thankfully there are plenty of good men in the church to take charge and move the church forward.
I fell asleep during the last session and Sarah told me Elder Ballard said I need to give her a day off but I think she is making that up. I will have to check that one out.
As a safety measure and so we can feel okay sharing personal information here we want to make our blog private. We will invite everyone we have email addresses for but if we don’t have your email address or you’re not sure then please email us at stubblefields+blog@gmail.com We will leave the blog open to everyone for a week to allow everyone to have a chance to email us.
One other item of miscellanea, Since more and more family and friends are blogging I have grown weary of visiting each blog almost daily to check for updates. Especially those of you who never update and I have to see the same post every time I visit. It is convenient to have the list on the side of the blog but still a hassle so I decided to use something called a feed reader and it is amazingly convenient. Here is how it works. There are a lot of readers out there but I chose and recommend google reader because I’m a google guy and you use the same login as blogger, gmail, picasa, etc. So you log into http://www.google.com/reader from there you can add subscriptions by typing in the address of blogs or websites you frequent. I created folders for family, friends, news, fun, lds and such. I subscribed to everyone’s blog and now all I have to do is visit my reader and shows me all unread posts. I can read the post within the reader or visit the actual post. Now that reading blogs is so easy and convenient I decided to subscribe to more blogs. I’m including a screenshot so you can see what I’m talking about. Also, if you start using google feed reader I can add you as a friend and share interesting stuff through the reader.
