A New Sidebar Widget

First, I want to thank Erin for doing the calendar for the sidebar. It took me about five minutes to transfer all of the information that you gave me about birthdays and anniversaries to that calendar and now it is in the sidebar for everyone to see. Thanks Erin, that was a great idea!

Manuela had a great idea and from her post and the resulting discussion, I have went through all of the posts and whittled down the labels to five. They are:
  • Discussion
  • Prayer Matters
  • Special Occasions
  • Tech Stuff
  • Updates
These five areas are now in the sidebar under the name "Kitchen Cabinets".

Based on the discussion in the aforementioned post/comments, a visitor can come into the kitchen and open the specific cabinet that they want to look in. If they want to hear about updates, they can open that cabinet. If they want to see prayer requests, there is a cabinet for that. There is a cabinet for discussion, technical stuff (I love that term, its so technical) and special occasions as well.

When you write a new post, please put it away in the proper cabinet by putting that name in the "post labels" area located at the bottom of the new post box.

Thanks to all for coming up with great ideas and making this place what it is; a great community to belong to! If y'all have any other ideas about cabinet labels, let me know.

Great new stuff. Just curious, though... why did you change the name of the contributors section? Are we not siblings anymore? ;-)

Erin said...

Hey...yeah! Why aren't we siblings anymore? ;-)

Mike said...

Okay, we're siblings again. Sorry, I just got on a tear. Chalk it up to "happy fingers".

Erin said...

Thanks Mike!

Ok that profile picture is freakin' creepy, Mike. I love it!

Manuela said...

Thanks for your thoughtful work on behalf of all of us, Mike!! : ) Both with the tech stuff and birthdays...! I'm really tech-slow. My brain is not wired for it it seems

first off, the profile pic is fabulous.

secondly, thanks for setting this up yet again. i think we will find it extremely useful in the future. especially for someone to take some time away and have an easier time catching up on what has gone on while they were away.

things move pretty fast around here.

Jon, good point. We don't want to move too fast without getting feedback on some things that relate to all of us as a living organism ....
But sometimes people don't give feedback!!?!! Maybe they are just busy. (I know what that's like!- I need to be patient...)
