Ch,ch,ch,changes….

A new look to Beauregard…The Blog.
I felt that the previous layout, although I really liked it, was getting swamped in side-bars and widgets and that the posts where becoming a bit obscured. So I have simply changed the template without losing the widgets….although I have had a prune too.
So now the emphasis is back on [...]

There but for the grace of God…

There are times when I worry about our future in France (quite a few times, as it happens!) Our adventure is not for the faint hearted.  Will I make a success of the gite business? Will I make enough money to live on? Will we starve? Will my children be walking barefoot to school in Winter?
Here though, is [...]

New look for Beauregard The Blog

A new theme was introduced the other day to us WordPress users and I quite took a fancy to it! I have been looking into introducing an extra column for all the extra widgets I keep finding, but there aren’t any, or if there are they just not right.
I saw this one and liked it…the [...]

Bling, bling

 
I feel a bit of a hypocrite at the moment! I seem to remember saying once how I was not a great fan of all the bumpf and bling that seems to accompany a lot of blogs.
I have just taken a look at Beauregard the Blog and realise that slowly but surely, I have been [...]

Blog de la Bouffe

In a bout of shameless self-publication, I would like to direct you to another blog that I have set-up, here at WordPress.
It is called Blog de la Bouffe and is, well, about food. As I quite openly admit, I am not a foody, by any stretch of the imagination, in fact I have a long standing love/hate [...]

Happy Birthday Observations

I remember reading somewhere that ‘Happy Birthday’ is the most commonly sung song ever, probably a Trivial Pursuit thing.
I now think that ‘Happy Birthday’, (in all its variants) must be the most commonly used search term on the internet. Since writing my ‘Happy Birthday to me’ entry on 25th January, the Beauregard The Blog readership has gone through [...]

It’s easy to get disheartened…..

I have been having a good read today of my feeds and getting lost in the MyBlogLog world of communities. With a few links and clicks, it is easy to get immersed in a different world and explore many paths.
I have noticed though, that I seem to read more blogs that deal with blogging itself than [...]

What’s going on now?

 Oh dear….it would appear that all of my carefully crafted header images have gone AWOL at the moment. I thought it was me but having gone through my other blogs, they have reverted to the default too. Not that it’s not a good default…just not what I  want.
It’s too late to fiddle  now, I’ll check [...]

Have you Agloco’d yet?

It would appear that the latest ‘hot’, potentially money-making venture out in the blogosphere at the moment is Agloco. I know, ’Algloco’ doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue, but if the hype is to be believed, we will soon forgive them the name!
I have heard it mentioned on a few blogs recently and reading the article on [...]

Hoorah….Top of the Google tree!

Since going ‘live’ with the Beauregard website a few weeks ago, I have been sporadically checking on Google to see if we are listed. But we have been nowhere to be seen! I told myself not to worry, it takes at least a fortnight to get spidered apparantly….
Having nothing better to do tonight, I did [...]
