My computer died

(don't worry I didn't actually do this to my computer,
the photo just represents what I would like to do to it!)

My computer died, and even my uber-geek husband can't get it going again. I'm going to have to drive it 2 hours to the store we bought it from to get the geeks there to retrieve my data. Even though I was sure I had backed up all my important images I still find myself without an alarming number of needed files. I am stuck with my slooow laptop until the computer doctors can bring my pc back to life. Isn't it a bit scary how much we rely on our computers now? I didn't even realise how much I needed it until it died.

Normal transmission will (hopefully) resume soon.

A few updates...

You might have noticed some changes to my blog over the last few days.

The new features include:

• A new smaller blog header
  
• A navigation bar and About page added
• Subscribe features to get an RSS feed through feeders or to your email
• New advertising spaces with Project Wonderful
• A "Tweet this" link at the bottom of each posting

If you would like to learn how I added these to my blog, please check out this post and look for "Blog Add-ons" there are links to all the sites I used to set it up.

I have also set up a Mailing List so you can receive a newsletter from me direct to your inbox! Sign up here

You can now join me on Facebook too. Check out the The House of Mouse Fan Page and my Personal Profile to connect!

What do you think of my new look? Is there anything that annoys you about it? Is my header too large? Are there too many adverts? Are there any other features you would like to see here? I appreicate all your comments.
