I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

You may have noticed an addition to my sidebar. Or maybe you didn't. Either way, there is one. It's a topic cloud.

You see, I've decided that searching my blog for that post you remember reading a few months ago is really not that easy. (Of course, maybe it's just me that's having a hard time finding stuff.) Anyway, the topic cloud could be helpful for us all.

Here's how it works. I'm currently in the process of tagging my posts with topic words (Linus, cloth diapering, fashion, etc). Once labeled, these tags are added to the cloud. The biggest words in the cloud are the tags used most often. Looking for something? All you have to do is remember a little bit about the post's topic, find a word in the cloud that might have been a topic of that post, and click it. Browse through the posts with that tag and, hopefully, you'll find what you're looking for.

Of course, you may have also noticed one interesting thing about my cloud... the biggest word.



That's right, it's RANT. Great. This blog is supposed to be about my son, whom I love dearly, and the #1 topic word is rant?!?

It goes to show that this blog has definitely become an outlet for me. It's a place that I can release my frustrations and find sympathy, understanding, and even encouragement. Thank you, loyal commentors, for being part of my support network and helping me to be a better mother. Hopefully soon, rant won't be at the top of my cloud and instead it will something more positive like grateful. (Although knowing my tendency to be malcontent, you probably shouldn't hold your breath.)
