Bumpkins Launch New Blog in Flurry of Frustration - Damage Bill Rising

Well here it is, the brand new 'Jolly Olde Winsome Ridge News', which has kept us busy and occasionally screaming and throwing things for the last little while.  As the optimists would say, it's been a wonderful learning experience for us.  Rubbish.  It's been hell!  If we were willing to spend endless hours tweaking bits of html code, this blog might look perfect - but life's too short and we don't know enough about html, so we're saying near enough is good enough, and hoping to gradually improve it over time.

Besides the usual Jolly Olde Archive and Popular Posts links, you'll notice that we've added some clickable category headings underneath the top banner (just like real online news sites!) to group things together.  There aren't many headings yet, or many things in them, but they'll grow as we carry on.  

We hope you enjoy the JOWRN and that you'll write some encouraging comments to motivate us to continue with it.  We'll be updating it whenever the mood takes us, so to keep in touch, please subscribe to it by email or whatever (because we won't be notifying our 'Winsome Ridge Diary' subscribers when it's updated - well, maybe we will, just once or twice...) and share it with all your millions of social media 'friends' because we want a huge audience.  If you think we'll have to work a little harder to achieve that, please say so.  On the other hand, if you think it's awful - we don't want to know about that.

And by the way, this isn't the only blog we've been working on, it's just the most difficult one.  Our blogging bug started with Linda's ancestor hunt, and soon spread to Tony's story-writing.  So we now have four blogs on the go.  Links to the other three are at the bottom of the page.

Now we'll get back to more tweaking....
