Now I find they are adequately supplied for the moment, I wanted to update my website - and that will be3 the 3rd time in 6 years. Now I can't remember what kind of a weaver I am, and what kind of a message I want to send - I don't know who my target market is if I were to have a website. <br /><br />Plus, whenever we are asked about helping folks build their websites, we strongly suggest they look into blogs and FB pages. So I'm trying to redefine what kind of a weaver I want to be, and also trying to practice what I preach, a little.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-43802664766766831612011-06-26T05:00:53.708+12:002011-06-26T05:00:53.708+12:00He's right you know.

So your web site meagre into this blog.<br />You have tab category (page section) from key element of web site and the home (which is the blog page) named as Unravelling. It's up to you for changing display name of your profile but I think it's not necessary.Ben Nakagawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362171644695652901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-40766412671740769532011-06-25T09:12:08.875+12:002011-06-25T09:12:08.875+12:00I hear you.

My favourite name to use is my own, just because it's a given and therefore it's pointless to worry about whether or not it was a good choice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-29370413561418903472011-06-24T08:19:07.519+12:002011-06-24T08:19:07.519+12:00I don't think I can ever leave "MegWeaves...I don't think I can ever leave "MegWeaves". It's handy, easy to remember, and besides, I still have gazillions of woven labels and printed cards. And if I were to change that, I'd have to run around the Internet securing accounts and url under another name. <br /><br />Having said that, I do love my "Unravelling" aspect, because it is so me, and I emotionally and intellectually unravell all the time while battling this thing called weaving. And the blog is my way for me to remember and explain to myself how I've unravelled, and occasionally, how I've "re-ravelled".<br /><br />Cally, I saw that link from Textile Arts or somewhere - meant to read it, but then I had too many links opened at once and I closed them all. I shall go revisit it. But just one question - was it hard to let go of "t'katch"? Do you miss her/it?Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-24078641262362565782011-06-24T03:36:46.216+12:002011-06-24T03:36:46.216+12:00I came across this yesterday, which reminded me o...I came across <a href="http://lateralaction.com/articles/online-identity/" rel="nofollow">this</a> yesterday, which reminded me of my blogger-deleted comment from a while back. I don't agree with everything he says, but found both the post and the comments gave food for thought. I think of you as both Meg and MegWeaves. I like MegWeaves as an "identity" - it's Meg who weaves, I can get that! (On Yahoo, e.g. for WeaveTech and the OLG, I have been callyweaves for several years. I didn't want to be, but my callybooker id seemed to be indelibly associated with a defunct email address so had to pick another one. I'm now always surprised but quite pleased to see it!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-41097614816550711782011-06-23T23:29:58.295+12:002011-06-23T23:29:58.295+12:00To me, you are Meg in NZ.
