This is the real thing. A new, hopefully improved, more readily updated and maintained, gigglefern.com. The old stuff is still all here. Get to it by clicking the “old site” link on the left. Little-by-little, I’ll bring old content into this new format. And my new year’s resolution (as trite as that may be) is to update this site more frequently … with diary notes and photos. Of course, first I have to figure out how to add photos. Hopefully that won’t prove too difficult.

A little orientation… the categories you are used to will be used in this site as well, some mostly as subcategories of the photo section, and some more oriented to the written word. It will be easily searchable by category and by date. And you get to choose the style you want to see it in. Right now there are three styles to pick from (river, woods and sky). This is the fun stuff so I plan to add more. Oh, and it’s interactive. You get to comment on anything I put here. Try it! (Mom and Michele, this means you… I think you might be the only people who actually look at my website!)

I’m starting off the new year with an adventure in blogging. This is a test. This is only a test. If this were a real adventure there would be lots of whitewater and instead, there is only rain. If you want to share my adventure, then hop aboard.

But don’t forget to breathe … because this test won’t be just a test for long. And there will be white water. The grandest of whitewater. “The Canyon”. Still months away and I’m living in high anticipation already (which is actually just the precursor of heart-stopping terror.)
