Ever since I was a kid, I’ve enjoyed comic books. In between the times that I’d get to find out what happened in the newest issue of GI Joe, Batman, or Superman, I’d supplement my love for comics by reading the Sunday comics. I would even choose which newspaper to get based solely on which comics they printed.
Now that I’m older and have children of my own, I still enjoy reading the Sunday comics. I’m also proud to say that Emma has found the joy that a few well written panels can bring. When Holly goes through the paper on Sundays, she has started setting the comics aside for Emma to read. I really enjoy seeing Emma read comics. I’ve taught her well.

UNOFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
For those who have not heard yet, my sister, Chelsea, is engaged. Since it’s not my wedding, I’ve been spared from having to do too many things. One thing that I did volunteer for though is making a DVD slideshow of Chelsea and her love interest, Nick. I get to choose what pictures and music are used. Can you say “bathtub pictures”? It’s going to be fun.
On Sunday, I started going through stacks of old pictures deciding which ones I was going to use. As I was looking through Chelsea’s scrapbook, I found pictures of my graduation, when I went on my mission, our mom at an Amway convention, and my first Christmas with Holly. It was like taking a trip down memory lane.

I finally have accomplished something with this site that I have wanted to do for nearly a year: I successfully configured Rob Miller’s Now Reading plugin so that we can share our library with you. This plugin allows us to show you what books we are reading, have recently read, and hope to read in the near future. You can also view the book’s details on Amazon.com. I like it because it shows yet another glimpse into the Zohner family and what we do with our time.
I’ve tried more than once to get this plugin configured to work with my site properly but have always failed miserably. I’ve come close a few times to getting it perfect but close was never good enough for me. This time however, my cousin Josh and a person from Spain named Juan, a.k.a. Judas, that I found in the Now Reading Forums me out. Thanks to both of them for all of their patience with me and my sometimes stupid questions.

Some of you may have noticed that the website has been down for the past few days. There was a mix-up with our host but it’s been straightened out now.
We made it back from our road trip through Southern Utah in one piece. Just barely though. We took lots of pictures and have lots of stories to share. I’ll do this in another post hopefully later today.

I had a beautiful post all ready to go in my head about Earth Day and how it was probably conceived by a bunch of hippies sitting in a drum circle and how no good idea ever came from getting high but then I got busy trying to set up a test server and forgot all of my main talking points. Since my probably hurtful slams on hippies has escaped my mind, I’m going to call your attention to our new poll instead. It’s actually been up for a while but I don’t think many people have noticed since there’s only been a few votes.
For those that don’t know, the same website may appear different depending on what browser you use. I’ve had a number of problems getting my site to appear correctly in Internet Explorer but it always looks good in Firefox. So my question to you is this: what browser do you use?

If you use Firefox, you are probably not aware that we’re having website issues. On the other hand though, if you use Internet Explorer, you probably think that the site looks horrible.
I’m aware of issues with viewing the site using Internet Explorer. I’m working on it and hope to have them resolved soon. In the meantime, if the problems are too much for you to take, view the site in Firefox.

A few months back, WordPress released a new version that added some pretty cool features. I held off on upgrading our site because I wanted to give the developers of the plug-ins that I use ample time to ensure that they would be compatible. Well, time’s up.
Yesterday morning, I upgraded to WordPress 2.3.2. You may or may not have noticed the subtle changes that were visible. Almost everything appeared to be OK after the upgrade but then I realized that it wasn’t. I think that I have fixed the major breaks in the website but there are still a few minor things that I’m working on. If you come across anything that’s not working how it should, or if you have any suggestions, please let me know.
I also changed the look of the website a bit. Pretty much everything is where it should be but if I missed something, or if something looks wrong, let me know.

What’s a Gravatar you ask? Basically it’s an avatar, or picture, that follows a user from site to site. When a comment is posted, their avatar shows up allowing others to see more than a person’s name. They have been used in forums for years. Now, they are bursting onto the scene in blogs.
A while back I tried enabling Gravatars on the site but could never get them to work properly. Today I had some time at work and decided to give it another try. I installed a couple of WordPress plug-ins but they weren’t making me happy. I was able to get a default avatar to show up but it took a lot of modification of the site’s code. I knew that there had to be an easier way. That’s when I found the Easy Gravatars plug-in.

I decided to throw a new poll up on the site for your voting enjoyment. For those who care, more of our readers like blue cheese than those who don’t.
This time, I’m asking if you’ve got your Christmas shopping done. For the record, we do. I think. I don’t plan on entering a store with the intent of buying presents until next year. Things may change but I think that we’re done. Now vote.
Is you Christmas shopping done?
