ivman update…
Bear with me, folks - I’m trying to see what all the new e-mail notification system can do. From last night’s blog post, it appears that the new system (the system that no one is automatically signed up for, even if they were receiving the e-mail notifications before) delivers not just a message saying that I’ve posted to the blog, but the actual, entire blog post. Some won’t like that it’s in html, but that’s the only option - I guess since it’s web based. What’s nice is that subscribers can click on the title of the blog post to read the post online. Someone also wrote to say that the size of the font was quite small. I think I found the place to tweak that in FeedBurner, and I’ll see if it worked when I get the e-mail version of this.
Since the real blog post for today didn’t contain a picture, I’m posting this short entry to see how it comes through. I can’t think of pictures I enjoy posting more than those of our grandson Drew, who, BTW, will be here one week from right now. Yippee!
BTW, for those who get the e-mails and click on the title to read the post online instead, you can always get back to the main page of the blog by clicking on the “Home” tab right under the picture at the top - kind of like clicking one’s ruby slippers, I guess. Wherever you are on the blog, you can get back to the main page by clicking on the Home tab.
I will probably update this post once I see how things come through. No notification e-mail will be sent to say that I’ve edited, as happens with some online blog-readers.

What a precious little boy. I love the hat, too. I’m excited for you that he’s coming soon.

Drew is adorable. I can’t wait to meet him. Oh. You mean about the new system. It’ll be fine. Thanks for trying this.
Actually, I liked Drew’s red sweater and hat MUCH better because YOU (i.e., Rob, the IVMAN) had knitted them for him yourself. Of course, you didn’t advertise that in your blog when you showed him wearing them in his photo. However, I’m telling the ivman-world about it now! Heh, heh. Yes, indeed. Rob the ivman is an excellent knitter–at least for his grandson.
Rob adds:
Thanks, Sandy! Actually, the brown camo hat is from the same source.

Not many kids can boast that their grandpa knits their winter outerwear! I think Eddie Bauer wants to hire you.
That little Drew is so adorable!!!

New technology — ain’t it wonderful!
And by the way, have you ever had a student include in a paper the following memorable phrase? “Please bare with me.” My comment was, “I’d rather not.”
Hang in there my friend. You can think about all of this new technology while on your daily journey of 10,000 steps.

Great job on the knitting!

Ha! No wonder I liked the camo hat too. It’s just not as striking as the red ensemble, and after all, it hadn’t been in my living room getting its final touches before being driven up to be hand-delivered to its newborn owner. More photos, please!

Oh my goodness!!! The brown hat picture is one of the cutest baby pictures I have EVER seen! I want to pick Drew up off the page! His little eyes and faint smile are what get me!
