Wow…I have not posted since August 7th. Hope you all haven’t forgotten me. Actually, I’m in the process of building a full blown community “Lovin Elgin” website. Since I am not a web designer and I’m learning on the fly, this is taking some time. I finally migrated all of my posts and your comments to them over to the new site which is live but not ready for public consumption yet. It’s still pretty raw. Still, if you want to go on over and have a look see, go to www.lovinelgin.com. Once my new digs are completely constructed, I will put html code here that will forward visitors to the new site and eventually phase this one out. In the meantime, I am brushing up on my html, learning css and trying to master a powerful web platform called Joomla. It should be a pretty cool site once it’s done.
Anyway….other Elgin bloggers are busy posting the happenings around town. Since FoxFireFest, I have not had too many “wandering around Elgin” days except for a dinner at Al’s last night. I do hope to get out to the Elgin Walkabout which appears to have been a great success in it’s debut last weekend. You can read all about it at the Elgin Walkabout Blog.
Another thing that has been on my mind is when the heck is Mad Maggies going to open…I am waiting with baited breath. You can read more on that and other things at the Downtown Elgin Blog.
There is much going on in our fair city and so little summer left to enjoy….get on out there while we have the chance.
