New features, at least for this blog anyway…

Little conveniences for readers of this blog, all in the left sidebar:

  • Recent Entries: The five last articles I’ve posted, listed by title.
  • Recent Comments: The five last comments posted, listed by title.
  • Search: It’s one of Blogware’s newest features, barely a couple of weeks old, and one of my hands-down favourites. Just enter a search term and hit the “Go” button. It’s a pretty neat feature and faster than snakes on ice!

And let’s not forget the new and improved Blogware Manual, written by a dashing young Filipino accordion-playing gentleman whom I know…

You want a doctored photo? HERE’S a doctored photo.

Despite what some others may believe, here’s the only doctored photo on the blog’s main page…

That rat-bastard Jon (a.k.a. “Jonny Fairplay”) from Survivor knows no limits when it comes to playing to win. According to Guile, he voted me off the island!

Blogware’s "Help" Files, radically revised

For those of you who are either Blogware users or interested in seeing what kind of features Blogware has, I’ve posted the latest version of Blogware’s “help” files, and will be adding a little bit more each day.

The “radical revision” I’m referring to is the change from Blogware’s help docs as mostly a feature-by-feature reference manual to a task-oriented one. It’s now all about answering “How do I do this?”-style questions. I’ve made sure that all the most common tasks have been covered, but if I’ve missed something, drop me a line in the comments or email me!

The feature-by-feature reference manual will eventually happen, but that time isn’t just yet. The design is still changing rapidly (and for the better and easier-to-use).

Accordion, Instrument of the Gods It Happened to Me

The vodka ad waiting to happen

Jo-Anne Liburd one of the people who helped run For the Love of Breasts gala, sent me this photo, which along with The Best Accordion Picture Ever, was taken by the even’t official photographer:

Photo: Joey deVilla, with accordion, calls out to bored-looking possibly-a-model redhead.

The redhead in the shot is Allison, who ended up joining me onstage (after I was invited by the band), in these shots.

I now live in a Smirnoff ad. Whoo!

Accordion, Instrument of the Gods It Happened to Me

At last, the Best Accordion Picture Ever!

Sorry about the delay on that picture. I was a little busy and didn’t get around to it.

I got a few emails that seemed to imply that if the former Best Accordion Picture Ever was of a comely young lass wearing nothing but an accordion, the new Best Accordion Picture Ever should be at least MAXIM-grade “stroke material”. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but the lovely young lady in the new photo is wearing considerably more clothing than the old one.

And somehow, it’s sexier. It’s also my little contribution to the rehabilitation of the accordion’s image.

Rather than argue the merits of what’s sexy and what’s not, why don’t I just cut with the chatter and present the photo? Here it is, and if you click on it, you can get taken to a fuller-size version in the For the Love of Breasts photo album.

Photo: The Best Accordion Picture Ever! Joey deVilla dances with a comely young lass, who's obviously taken with the accordion.

I have achieved my life’s goal: I now live in a beer commercial.
