Yesterday WordPress made note of awaytogarden.com, saying “a beautifully designed new WordPress powered blog.”

This is fantastic. I had put blogs on Kurt’s and Jamie’s sites, but there I adapted their blog to the site design. Awaytogarden.com was to be only a blog. There are thousands of blog templates out there and Margaret’s friend Kit had short listed about forty of them, but I had my own idea about what functions best for reading that kind of information. So I adapted. (note to self: make blog entry listing my skill levels in various software. ie: HTML = expert. PHP = copy & paste)

Long Story Short: for WP to say “beautifully designed” is, well, personally thriLLING!!!

  A Painter of Our Time

  by John Berger

  

  The Success and Failure of Picasso

  by John Berger

  Berger wrote this while Picasso was still alive. Quite interesting to read why this Marxist critic thinks the communist artist failed.

  

  Ways of Seeing

  by John Berger

  

  Pig Earth

  by John Berger

  First in the trilogy and my favorite. He reminds me of Louise Ehrdrich. I wrote and told him so.

  

  Once in Europa

  by John Berger

  The last book in the trilogy. Not my favorite but a worthy conclusion.
