Featured? Thanks! But why?!

STRATFORD, NJ, USA So, I use this site called WordPress.com to write garybutterworth.com. For reasons I cannot explain, WordPress has made me their “Featured Blog” for the “Life” category, which is one of their most popular.  Cool, huh?! So, for the past few days, I have been getting dozens (yes, dozens!) of new visitors to [...]

What do we eat?

STRATFORD, NJ, USA  Fun fact: usually, when I don’t update my website for a few days, it’s for of one of the following reasons: I’m busy. I’m lazy. I have nothing worthwhile to say. Actually, scratch that last one.  My readers know that I frequently post even when I have nothing worthwhile to say!  But [...]

New layout! (At least for now)

STRATFORD, NJ, USA  As you can tell, I’m experimenting with a new “WorkPress Theme” (aka “layout”) for this site.  I’ve always prefered 3-column layouts, so I’m hoping to stick with this.  Unfortunately, I’m having some trouble getting it to align like it should in MSIE.  I’m hoping I can fix it, hopefully without shelling out [...]

God Bless America! (Slow news day?)

Stratford, NJ, USA* I just thought it would be fun to get you caught up on a couple of the biggest local news stories of the day from a couple of cities I know pretty well. Washington, DC  In my former city of Washington, DC, the big story was that today was the first day [...]

General Update: E-mail, Nana, Website

Just a general update: E-mail Address:  Just to let you know, the old @usa.net email address that I have been using for about 8 years now will cease to work in early July.  I don’t want to post my new address here (I don’t want to encourage the spammers),  but if you know me, just [...]

Welcome to my new virtual home! And Happy Anniversary!

If you’re reading this post, then you found me! Yep, you’re right; things do look a little different around here.  That’s because I’ve moved from Xanga to WordPress! Xanga served me well, but it was never what I really wanted.  I’d been wanting to make a change for a while, and I thought this was [...]

Not quite active, yet!

If you have stumbled upon this site already, and if this post is still at the top of the page, well, then you’re ahead of the game! I have been keeping a personal website/blog for almost 4 years now.  It started out on a website I designed myself, which I kept on my student webspace [...]

Check back on Wednesday!

Hi all. I know I’ve been slow with posting for the past week or so.  Mostly, this is due to it being tax time, and because I’ve been busy preparing for my trip. But this is one other reason, too. Please be sure to check back here here at garybutterworth.com on Wednesday, April 11!

Something big is coming!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I have a big change coming to garybutterworth.com sometime soon.  (Possibly as soon as next week, but definitely less than a month from now). Keep checking back!

I didn’t even see it coming until Tuesday.

I was just looking back through some old website postings that I made when I was in Europe when it hit me: garybutterworth.com is three years old!  Not the xanga, mind you, (and let’s be thankful for that…garybutterworth.com has sucked since it’s been on xanga), but my website in general.  Most of the old stuff [...]
