A Little More Progress on Website Today

I continue to see more butterflies which is part of June & July here and want to keep my nature theme even on posts about the website.
Today was the day for my online video visit with a specialist or “concierge” who was Nancy and very helpful, answering all my questions and giving me a boost forward in my understanding of technical things that can be frustrating. And one of the best things she did was recommend WP101 help videos online. I have already watched 6 of them and again got another boost forward making me more hopeful that this site will be successful eventually. She claims that moving my blog from Blogger to WP is “pretty straightforward.” But I will get the site working a little smoother before I try that.

Happiness is a butterfly,
which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Newly Hatched Banded Peacock Butterfly
Earlier I featured a mature Banded Peacock with most shots of top of wings. This is a younger, maybe newly hatched, with more yellowish wing bands and more brown background color than the more mature one. In my garden of course! 🙂
