Seven years in France
Today is the 7th anniversary of our move to France. Here are some pictures of various places in lovely Correze, taken over the years. We're very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of France. Enjoy!

I'm sorry, but blonde jokes are funny...
View sent us this joke. Thank you, View.
A young ventriloquist is touring Sweden and, one night, he's doing a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes.
Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blond women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Its people like you that make others think that all Blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general ... pathetically all in the name of humor!"
The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells: "You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little sh*t on your lap."

Having fun with codes
The other day Amy tried to explain how to do hyperlinks and it didn't work very well because the explanation itself turned into a hyperlink! It's all to do with html codes. You write something in code and it gets reinterpreted, appearing as normal text, but modified to italic, bold, hyperlink, etc, depending on the code you use. Examples:
italic
bold
strike
Text appears small.
Text appears big.
click here
The Blogger interface looks like this:
There are buttons on the top that apply the code to any highlighted text. When you click on HTML, the box changes and the html codes appear:
I had to take a screenshot of the html codes, because if I had tried to copy and paste it, it would be immediately reinterpreted and appear exactly as in the list of examples, minus the codes.
The last example is a hyperlink. If you want to make any text appear as a clickable link, all you do is write everything exactly as above, but instead of "http://whattimeisoclock.blogspost.fr/" you paste the address of the site you want to link and instead of "click here" you write what you want to appear in your comment, such as "Cool site" or anything you that takes your fancy.
The codes for italics, bold, strike, etc, are quite easy, but must be applied exactly as they are above. Simply use your own words instead of italic, bold, etc, between the opening and closing tags.
Try these simple codes in your comments. It should be fun!
