Other Things I've Been Up To

Awful to discover today that a gazillion broken graphics showed their little x's all over MotherGoose.com. Over the holidays, when traffic is slower, I asked my hosting service to migrate MotherGoose.com to a linus server. This will allow me to add goodies in the future like a social area for chat, a multi-user paint game, daily rhyme, etc. The move seemed to go without mishap, but truthfully, I didn't check over the whole site.

Today I did start to dig around, and found all those broken graphics, ouch!  It turned out to be one of those stupid-simple fixes, though the fix is clumsy. I've berated myself a bit, but it's been tough juggling two sites, though I'm determined. I've been a bit coy about this, but my grand mother-of-a-plan involves spinning out some new domains (and some subdomains too) to expand what I can create.

I love children, particularly my own, but also really, really want to write and draw and animate and design for an older audience.  That's why I started the "Just for Moms" section on MotherGoose.com and that's why I'm thick in the middle of a new site Click Here if You Love Me. My new site is a romance novel game, and I hope you like it. It's a work in progress right now, I suppose at first draft stage. But if you're interested in testing it out, and would like to send me comments (there is a guestbook there, or you can email me: leslie@mothergoose.com), I would sooooooooooooooo appreciate it!

When I was a little girl,

About seven years old,

I hadn't got a petticoat,

To keep me from the cold.

So I went into Darlington,

That pretty little town,

And there I bought a petticoat,

A cloak, and a gown.

I went into the woods

And built me a kirk,

And all the birds of the air,

They helped me to work.

The hawk, with is long claws,

Pulled down the stone;

The dove with her rough bill,

Brought me them home.

The parrot was the clergyman,

The peacock was the clerk,

The bullfinch played the organ,

And we made merry work.
