and leave the apron – no reason to take it off.

Also – my marathon stuff – not on my blog yet. Thanks for checking though. I’m sort of afraid that I’ll fail and then EVERYONE who reads my blog will know that I suck. I’ll come out of the closet soon though.

Apron answer is not so simple. Being a glorified Food Service Worker my whole life, you should remove it before entering the room of expulsions. Your apron is the barrier between what you have been wearing all day and the food, food prep area and cooking areas. However as a non-glorified mom who also wears an apron, there are times when it just ain’t possible to remove it in a timely manner before the call wether it be from your own body or a body that came from your body. It’s a judgement and even though you claim to be a non-thinker, you will know when it is not kosher to continue wearing Roxi after a potty break.

As for the class, girl this is not the first time you’ve talked about it. It is a heart issue for ya :) Go for it! Do it soon, your public awaits. Plus you are a blog diva and I don’t mean that in the current definition of the word as in ‘oh what a B to the itch’. Rather in the sense that you are the best blogger and we ‘L to the OVE Ya’! You have the skillz! You are a bloggy bloggerson to the extreme. Your knowledge would only benefit to passed on. Not as in ‘I’ll pass’ but as in ‘share the knowledge’. My question for your class is since I have no time to for my own blog but I am now no longer a ‘lurker’, (sorry Lizalfog, someday I’ll reply, till then guess I”m your lurker now), but a replier can I be a blogplyer instead?

I think you should totally teach the class. I think it’d be fun and really – if someone is taking a beginning blogging class, their questions will be very simple.

I think I’d work on blog etiquette, how to boost readers (still learning on that over at WMDA), how to choose good clean templates, I’d love someone to explain RSS feeds and most important …

… to tell them that they should prepare to lose 2 – 3 hours of their days to the blogosphere – it’s more dangerous than the Bermuda triangle I tell ya ;-)

about the class, things i wish people told me…

feeds, some coding, custom templates and headers, custom domain names, photo editing sites, widgets, hosting sites and the difference between them.

and a two big ones… have a test blog so you can fiddle with layout, widgets, ect. before using them on your real blog and if your serious about blogging maybe get some calling cards or business cards made.

things i wish i could tell other and future bloggers that these things are important…

spelling, grammar, topic, good pictures, good layout vs bad layout, and a good title for your blog. there’s one blog i love but avoid it just because the title is such a downer.

That post you linked is great!!! That song is Bubba’s Sis’ ringtone when she calls me. Right now, she’s doing a brilliant job of recapping our mad-cap adventures on the Amazing Race. I’m supplying the photos. She’s so funny!

Okay and the class, I see only one HUGE GLARING problem with it – your way out on the West Coast, and here I am, way in the middle of the country. I can’t possibly road trip out there. But for all those lucky guys and gals who could – you must!! You have a talent my friend, don’t hide that under a bushel!! No!!

As for the apron dilemma, I could never get used to wearing those darn things in the first place! But I am so loving your confidence apron that I may have to reconsider.

2) Teach the class. Take advantage of the chance to be a big fish in the small blogging pond that is Poulsbo.
