Moved my Blog/ Update your RSS Feed

I wanted to give you a heads up.  I hope that it doesn't become an inconvenience to you either.  Due to the Preece's and my sister Clyda, I have become hooked on Blogs.  Yet I found myself frustrated with what Blogger had to offer for me.  There just wasn't enough features and flexibility that would carry me to where I wanted to go. 

So I spent the last two weeks researching other options, I found one with wordpress.  You can still get to my blog by going through blogger, because  I have pointed my blogger URL to my new blog.  (A nice feature in blogger).

Here is a list of some of the new features that I have placed so far:

1. Comment Replies:  You have the ability to comment to anyone's comments.  The reply comment is held differently so that you know who has commented.
2. E-mail Replies:  When someone replies to your comment and e-mail is sent to you notifying you of the reply.
3. Ton more templates:  Wordpress has a ton more templates over blogger.  Everything under the sun and you have the ability to go in and tweak the templates even further as I have done with the current template I am now using.
4. Ton more plugins:  Wordpress as entire world of plugins that can enhance your blogger.  You will see me adding more and more as new ideas come to mind.

The biggest thing you will need to do and the reason I am typing this is you will need to update your RSS feeds to my new blog.

The new domain name is:  blog.marvls.com

The new RSS feed is:  feed://blog.marvls.com/?feed=rss2

One thing you will have to do is login to comment or create a new account.  You can use the same login as blogger so that you don't have to remember something different and tell the browser to remember your login and it will be seamless for you.

Let me know what you think.

My brother is a father!

Last night Ben and Melissa Ellis became parents at 9:12 p.m. "Henry" as the nickname will probably forever stand was born on December 14th, 2007. He weighed 6 lb. 13 oz and was 19 inches long. He came very healthy and had a good set of lungs as we sat in the hallway listening to him scream. I do not want to steal the thunder of Ben and Melissa talking about the experience on their own blog, but I will leave you with a few pictures that I took last night so that you can see what he looks like.

	Ben talking to his sister Clyda about the birth. He just kept walking around in circles telling her all that had happened. He had his other sister Jana on hold waiting to hear what he had to say as well.
	Melissa showing us "Henry". This is about an hour after he was born. They hadn't settled on any names just yet.
	Melissa showing us "Henry's" big feet. She says he has big hands and feet. He did not like her doing this, because just after I took the picture he cried real hard until Melissa covered him back up. I think it was just a little too cold to have a foot outside of the blanket.
	Ben holding "Henry".

I know these two proud parents will have a lot to say on their blog about "Henry" including what his real name will be. So make sure you checkout their blog in the next week once they get home and settled down.
