The Fayetteville Flyer is a site I love to read and I frequently will share various articles with my readers .  They recently developed a Northwest Arkansas Blog Directory.  My blog is among the listed.  If you are in northwest Arkansas or a former resident of NWA, check out the blogs in the listing.  If you have a blog, don’t forget to add yourself!

I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was great.  I just wanted to post a quick update and let you know that I upgraded my version of WordPress to 2.7 this afternoon.  (WordPress is my blogging software, for those that don’t know.)  This particular version is still in beta so I’m a little concerned that some things may not work correctly (either for me as an admin or for you as a reader).  If you see any issues here on my blog (an error, something doesn’t load correctly, etc), post a comment here or send me an e-mail to tara@tarahog1980.com so I can report the problem and/or try to fix it.  Thanks for your help!

I saw a blog a week or two ago that displayed their Wordle and decided to share mine with you.

The above graphic represents the words showing up the most recently in my blog.  I’m thinking Twilight wins the prize.  Try out Wordle yourself using your own blog’s feed.

Karah at Diary of a Track Bunny has given my blog an award.  She’s named my blog as one of her favorites, which I appreciate very much.  Her blog has always been one of my most favorite.

This is a “pay-it-forward” type of award, so there are rules to accepting it. They are:

* Display your award.
* Link back to the person who gave you the award.
* Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
* Put links to those blogs on yours.
* Enjoy your award!

Here are the blogs I love.

• Life of a Kahne Fan
• Megan’s Blog
• Answer This…
• Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Infield Parking Blog
• Sarah & NASCAR
• It’s All About Andi
• Jessica’s Blog

This is my 100th post here at http://www.tarahog1980.com.  I officially started blogging here on April 13, 2008.  That computes to appx 1.6 posts per day.  (The analyst in me had to do that computation.)

I’m still not good at blogging consistently.  I think I blog more about traveling or special events than the goings-on in my day-to-day life.  I have enjoyed writing on this site, though, and I hope to do several, several more posts in the coming days/weeks/months/etc.  Here’s to 100 more!
