Back to the dinner: Every seat was full and we very peacefully went forth, section by section, to heap our plates with the perfect Thanksgiving Dinner. Pastor Dale did not sit down until everyone was served. This is his heart. And Sylvia Barnes is a sweet servant of the Lord also.
First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

Happy shopping!
As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.
The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.
When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.
It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.
Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.
As always, thanks for your patience.
REJOICE in the Lord always! Again I will say REJOICE! Let your gentleness be known to all. The Lord is NEAR.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything with prayer & petitions, with THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts & minds in Christ Jesus....This peace, which the world does not understand, only comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Seek HIM and you will find rest for your souls.
Hey, everyone! You've likely noticed my absolute stop in posts over the past month. I've decided to change blogs, and please understand I didn't take the action lightly. The new blog is (never home)maker . . . and it's going to flow along the same content areas as METHOD, but be more geared toward quick & easy rather than intricate and involved.
There will be more home stuff, too! So, go check it out, and be sure to follow in your favorite RSS reader :)
(never home)maker:
good eats & design for those with little time.
METHOD isn't going away entirely, though. I'm going to leave her up, as I still refer back to many of my recipes. So don't worry that your favorite peanut butter cookie page will disappear.
On a recent trip to Idaho with my sisters, I discovered the perfect wine. I am extremely picky about wine, and don't like most wine out there. In a recent post, I thought I had discovered The Tastiest Wine Ever! Well, I was wrong . . . not that the Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc wasn't delicious . . . it's just that this wine is just much, much better. The most surprising thing is that I had my boyfriend Jason, who isn't a huge wine fan either, try it, and he loved it! P.S. there were far too many commas in that sentence! Please exscuse the bad grammer tonight. It's a great sprakling wine that pairs with just about anything. When Jason and I had it recently we paired it with a meal of bacon wrapped filet mignon and delicious mashed potatos. This dinner was in celebration of his recent, and long overdue raise!!!!! =]]] He then suggested we keep a bottle around the house at all times for any occasion! =]
The Moscato D' Asti is fresh and frizzante wine that has bright fruit aromas with flavors of peaches and apricots with a hint of lime. You have to try it, it's relatively inexpensive and you can find it at BevMo, and World Market.
