Blog Renovation

After 320 posts I decided I needed to update the look and feel of my blog.  


Click HERE to continue reading this on MJR version 2.0.

I'm not sure if very many people actually go to the page - it seems like most of my readers (the few I have :) are subscribers, followers or rss-ers and everyone uses a blog reader these days don't they?

Anyway, just in case there are a few old-schoolers out there, I gave the old girl a fresh coat of paint and a little clean-up.  I have also moved to a three-column format - which was one of the harder computer skillz I've had to develop...  The best part was creating a new logo - which I did over the last few weeks...

With all that hard work behind me, (just kidding - it's not too difficult...), I want to remind everyone of the best ways to make following my blog easy-peasy...

#1.  Become a "Follower" - negative connotation in life, positive connotation in the blogosphere...  at least I hope it's positive because I follow dozens of blogs.  Click through to my page and use the "Followers" widget at the top of the left column.



#2.  Subscribe for e-mail updates - you'll get my blog posts in your email inbox - simple as that. Enter your address in the box at the top of the right column.  Verify, once you get the email from feedburner.



#3.  Subscribe in a reader - if you use google reader (and I recommend that you do...) it is easiest to become a "Follower" - one click and you are subscribed.  If not, enter my address www.meyrickjonesracing.com into your reader's subscription box.

If you haven't checked out Twitter yet you might as well have a look at my newly renovated Twitter page.  (... kind of like renovating the cabin at the same time as the city house.)  

Check it out and "follow" me by going HERE. 



Sorry for the boring post...  I do these every six months or so to help anyone who might be new to blogging or blog reading.  Remember when you used to visit each site individually???  Now THAT was time consuming!!!

Cheers and thanks for reading everyone!

Great Photo Blog


If you like mountain biking, nature or photography, or better yet all three, you have GOT to check out this guy's blog.


***NOTE Update - Matt has informed me:  That is not just some "guy", that is the blog of the great Mike Curiak, Ultra Endurance Mountain Biker. In '05, he rode the 350-mile Iditarod Trail Invitational, setting the course record.***  Duly noted.  Thanks Matt!

I will freely admit that I "read" it for the pictures...  I don't think he'd mind because he seems to focus almost every post on about a dozen (usually amazing) shots.

I highly recommend it for your Google Reader....  takes a while to load because the photos are big - but they are worth it.  

In other news:  I have a few great developments to update you guys on - it will have to wait for later in the week though...  

Cheers!
