New Stuff on the Right-Hand Nav Bar

I've added 2 new items on the right-hand side of my blog: a space to replay my last 5 tweets and a list of the most popular blog posts. Of course, so far, I've only tweeted twice, but one of those tweets was a test text sent from my phone, so it'll be easy to add updates going forward. When I was looking for the tweet gadget, I noticed another gadget for listing your most popular posts. I thought that'd be fun for a while. Not surprisingly, most of the popular ones are about caregiver aids, since those are the ones that'd show up in Google searches. Because, from experience, I haven't found much online about things like our modified Honda Element (called the XWAV) or the lift system (Surehands) that we've got installed in the bedroom and bathroom. But why was a post about going to a Halloween party with or without a costume a top post?

I gave up trying to figure the popular post thing I found it interesting for a bit but then again? Mine is about making a wooden ship model and the next is mounting a gps on a water skeeter - go figure

HEY! HI! I've missed you! :)

Jan - like you, I think it'll be of transitory interest. Something in those posts you note must have brought them up in google searches. I think the next gadget I'll add is about stats.

Diane - isn't that nice! Thank you. It's good to be back.
