Hi all,

Since the only people who sign up here without me first inviting them are spammers, I have disabled the option completely.

If you’re interested in starting a blog here, you can mail me with the following information:

  • Your email address
  • The name of the blog you want to start
I will then create an account and a blog for you.  Find me at: mail <at> katinkahesselink.net.

WordPress update: issues and opportunities

4:39 am in Announcements by Katinka Hesselink

C.C. I hope you have patience with me, because the latest WordPress update has left this blog looking totally differently. I have to update, because otherwise the blog is a security risk. However if I have to rethink plugins each time, it’s going to be a real drag.

Anyhow, in this case: please let me know about any functionality you had that you no longer have. Any plugins you used to use that can no longer be found?

As you have perhaps guessed: this update is the first installment in getting this blogging community back on track: opening it up to new writers and that sort of thing. However, losing the main blog on the front page has me thoroughly confused.

This wordpress update was a major one, so it stands to reason that it would change a few things. I’ll probably figure it all out.

Hi all, everything back to normal…

Just letting you all know that Bambi gave the site to me, Katinka Hesselink, also known as spirituality on squidoo. I will take full responsibility for the site from now on.

So far I’ve done only the basics:

  • Updated WordPress, all themes and plugins, so that the site is basically secure
  • Installed Akismet, so more spam should be filtered out

In future I will also be looking at the themes themselves, and revenue sharing (don’t you all think Nan should get the bulk of that? ) and so on. For now though, just keep blogging :)

As you can see, I haven’t figured everything out yet. How do I get that image of Bambi out of this post? Ah well, it will sort itself out I’m sure. [edit] Ah, it did – I’ve now officially written this post. Great. And I also managed to get Bambi’s cry for help out of the sidebar. Now we’re talking :) [/edit]

Please Welcome Nan LT

12:36 pm in Announcements by Bamby

Hi everyone…

I know I’ve been neglecting everyone here and this site and I sincerely apologize. I have been going through a lot of personal issues and unable to get enough computer time lately to do much at all. I was hoping to be settled and back to doing the things I love by now, but life seldom goes the way we want it to and we have to flow with it rather than force it to fit what we want.

Because I can see no change happening to my current situation any time in the near future, I’ve asked Nan to take over the admin duties at this site and over at Mystic Squids so these two great sites can continue to grow and flourish. I will be popping in and out when I can and hopefully my troubles will work themselves out soon. So please Welcome Nan and thank you Nan for helping to make sure these sites are still here for us.

Love & Peace

Bambi

How To Create A Blog

12:51 am in Announcements by Bamby

Creating your very own dynamic blog is a lot of fun & very easy to do here at Mystic Minds.

Once you have set up your Mystic Minds account, all you have to do to get started is click my blogs, on your member page or the admin strip at the top of the screen & then click on create a blog.

Next just fill in an url that reflects what your blog is about or your blog’s title using lowercase letters & numbers. Then fill in your blog’s name & presto! You have your very own blog.

After your blog is created, you will be brought to your blog’s dashboard. Next you will want to scroll down to Appearance and click on themes, to choose a template for how you want your blog to look.

Here is a really cool tutorial to help you learn how to use your WordPress dashboard for those of you who are new to wordpress.
