Please join me in waving good-bye to the old, tired look of my membership-only blog! Bye-Bye, old ‘new’ Jersey Girl!

Welcome to the NEW ‘new’ Jersey Girl! I am now public again instead of by membership only. I hope you like the new & updated look to go along with my new chapter of blogging in 2013.

The content will remain the same as will the photography. I will be adding a weekly shot taken with my Lytro camera and I have not as yet determined what day of the week that will be.

You might notice the addition of a couple of different tab links at the top of the main blog photo. You can now click on “Weather” and be directed to our in-house weather station which will give you a view out our side window and also tell you the weather statistics as they are at that moment of your visit.

You can also click on the “Recipe” link and be taken directly to our cache of recipes that you can browse at your leisure.

Give them a try!

The “Archives” link will take you back to all the blog posts since the blog began in 2006. Some of these archival posts also show up in the right margin under “On This Day” and will show you any post I wrote on the same day of any given year. I always think it’s fun to look back and see what the weather was or what I was doing years ago. As always, the last years’ archives are also listed in the right margin, month by month.

Comment moderation is in place right now. I will turn on your comments on as quickly as I can. Old members of the private blog should be able to comment without comment moderation if they are logged in; otherwise you will need to go through the comment moderation process. It is not necessary to log in, but if you do your comment will show up immediately as the site will recognize you.

I hope you enjoy the new look and bear with me as we work out any kinks that might occur on your visit. Please let me know if you have any difficulties by clicking on “Contact Me” at the top of the blog.

Welcome aboard on my new journey!
