A bit of decluttering and organising

1. So sorry that the word verification was showing on my blog.

I had no idea because when I'd comment on my own posts to answer questions, I never got those words.

Cat then told me nicely but firmly to please remove it :)

So I played around, logged out of Blogger and then tried to comment. Sure enough, I also had to enter the stupid words. I have now removed them - please see if you can comment with freedom :)

There are a couple of you who also still have it on - now it's my turn to ask you nicely but firmly to please check your settings. Normally I didn't mind the one word (annoying but I didn't mind so much) but they've made it two words now and it's impossible to read, at least for me.

Here's how you do it:

1. Switch to the OLD Blogger interface by clicking the little cog on the top right of your blogger dashboard.
2. Go to Settings and then Comments and disable word verification.
3. Save. (my business website has a button in the template that's called "Big A$$ Save Button" (no jokes)
4. Click on Try the new blogger and you're back to where you were.

And we can all comment happily and do the community thing :) Happy days!

2. I was looking at my blog post labels the other day and was quite horrified. How in the Sam Hill do I have 536 labels? That is crazy.

Please comment and give me the broad categories you think I should put on this blog.

It's going to be a mission and a half but I can do 5 minutes a day, right?

I saw on another blog (who knows where? you guys know I'm bad with remembering where, I only remember what I see) she had cute categories all starting with a C. I'm partial to cuteness so I'm thinking of modelling mine on hers.

Children, Cooking, Creating, Capturing, Celebrating, and then I thought I need something to capture my life list/ goals/ living life big stuff, work (that can be career), friendship stuff (Community?) and what else??? Christianity?Courage?

Ooh, I just thought of one - Crazy (for the I have issues label :) HAHAHA)

3. Words of the year

I want to make a little box on the sidebar with all our words for the year.

These are the ones I have

• Action - Heather and Mandy
• Aware - Mandy
• Embrace - Lynette
• Hope - Cat
• Nurture - Julia
• Simplify - Deanna

If you want to be included, will you leave yours in the comments?


And last but not least...

4. How are you guys doing on your Feb goals?

Who else is working on goals besides Mandy and Louisa?

Do you need help?


Are you stuck?

I've just updated my list and most things are going along nicely except... the health and fitness. I'm realising that I really, really need to go to Weigh-Less so there's some accountability for my eating. I can't stand the thought of paying to keep me on the straight and narrow, and yet that's exactly what I have to do.

What are you decluttering and organising this weekend?
Any other blog housekeeping I need to do?
