Deviation to Green Day & Zack

Posted by: • Date:

I’ve been temporarily interrupted from being able to post new icons due to a glitch with the server that hosts my originals. Hopefully Apple will resolve that within the next 24-48 hours. In the meantime, thought I’d take the opportunity to give you guys a treat with a (very short) clip from YouTube that someone had captured at a recent Green Day concert down in Nashville, Tennessee. Lead Singer Billy Joe had grabbed a fan from the audience and invited him to play with them (after having to first swear that he actually could play). The fan, Zack, is 17 years old and did his own fans and family proud taking over the lead guitar and singing along with the band.

Disclosure: Thirty-something years ago I used to baby-sit for Zack’s Mom, Robyn, who is the daughter of my foster-mother’s sister. How’s that for a convoluted Six-Degrees connection? 😉

Birth of a Blog

Posted by: • Date:

Welcome to my Blog! For the past 5 years I’ve been experimenting with the best ways to share the huge library of icons and graphics that I’ve created, but the sites I had found to be the “best” to post on have gone on hiatus or perhaps have been abandoned entirely (ResExcellence, MacMonkies). “Scrapblog” came closest to my liking as far as ease of creation of the graphics on my pages but it isn’t very searchable and can be slow for the viewer. So, I’ve decided to give WordPress a whirl, starting out with one of their free templates just to get my content on line but over the next few weeks this blog will be gradually eased in to one of my own original skins that I’m presenting trying to hand code with the jQuery library. I hope you’ll check back often as the new look progresses and the content expands as “IconDoIt – The Blog” promises to be a very different and interesting place to visit!
