Well, making the blog private didn’t work out so well.  I have a much larger following than I anticipated both here and at Flickr.  WordPress also doesn’t allow a person to cache a login, nor does it allow you to only present entries to those who are Subscribers.  Overall I suppose since my entries have been public for so long, there’s not much good in making them private at this point.  Therefore, I have once again made the blog public.

Thanks to everyone who came forward to show their support.  I never realized how many friends and family were eagerly anticipating my next update!  Hugs to you all!
