Long Update and Status

 Ya know what?  I think too much - or rather I OVERthink things far too much.  Sadly it is a hard habit to break. LOL!

Quick Update Continued

The tagline for WhuddleWorld was, "A community of imagination for kids of all ages." and as hokey as that may sound, it really was that.  It seems fitting then, that the blog _remembering_ WhuddleWorld should try to keep to that as well.  No big, long-winded explanations this time - just a fun, digital WhuddleWorld memory album!  And as always, any questions asked by visitors to this blog, I'll do my best to answer.

 A screen cap remembering the WhuddleWorld Portal seemed the perfect add-on to this post!

Bit of Personal Backstory and Sort of Update

 So, this is a drop-in post with some background that is sort of an update.  About four (4) years ago, I started having some major health issues and was diagnosed (after over a year of testing ,etc.) with a somewhat obscure disease called Vasculitis.  I'm not even gonna try to explain it here - if you want to read up on it you can, but that's not the main point of this drop-in post.  But all around the same time I was also diagnosed with other major diseases/problems as well - and went from being reasonably able to get around/take care of myself to being barely able to move around my home and wearing oxygen 24 hours a day.

Maintenance Already!

UPDATE:  06/07/2023:  Still looking but getting frustrated. I realize content is more important than looks - but in this instance I think that continuity in the layout is almost as important as the content itself - because otherwise some of the blog, as I was hoping to do it, won't make a lot of sense.  So a tad grumpy and frustrated - I've not given up yet - just as I said, still taking awhile to wade through (also trying to do it for little or zero money makes it more time consuming too - lol!) it all.  And I'll keep updating on my progress as well.

 UPDATE 05/01/2023:  Looking for proper site to host what I hope will be a "simple" web site.  May take awhile - at the longest 3 mos. - and if sooner you'll know right away because I'll post it here :).  Sorry for the delays.

 Hey all,

After almost 20 years of HTML and CSS, I really wanted a no fuss, no muss sort of setup for this blog.  One that all I really had to do was write up my posts and add images here and there.  Of course what I didn't think through is how limited I might be in terms of how the site behaved and looked.  Something as simple, for example, as stickying a post to the main page - not possible in this particular template.  Having a header graphic AND text, also not easily doable with a pre-designed layout.  I mean, yes, technically I can edit those things - but if you look at the code in place to provide those "stop and drop" templates like this one here on blogger, well let's just say I'd be better off learning to code then trying to edit THAT.

So what that means is I'm going to have to either purchase a simple website on a host somewhere or try to find another template/blog host that suits what I'm trying to do with this blog.  Hang in there with me - once I figure that all out, I'll post a notice here of any changes.  That does mean for a few days, not much new content until I get that all sorted out.

 Thanks for being patient with me! (Assuming you are - lol!)
