In addition to this blog, I’ve been doing some other writing lately. Working on a project that is in a new format for me, but one I’m really enjoying as well. And writer’s block has periodically reared its odd little head. Fortunately it’s not been for long. But it reminds me in a different sort Continue reading...
We have been preserving our communications probably as long as we have been. From cave drawings to hieroglyphics to alphabets the world over, languages continue to evolve. Although I suspect many would say it’s devolved a bit since the advent of digital shorthand, IYKWIM (if you know what I mean, for those of us who Continue reading...
Hard to believe it’s already been a hundred days and a hundred posts since I started this blog. And yet at the same time, I almost can’t remember not writing here daily. Of course what does that say about my memory then? But once you start doing something you place great value on, as I Continue reading...
I’ve had a few people ask me recently about starting their own websites. Become their own dots on the internet map. When I created my first website about 12 years ago, Elizabeth Ely’s Harp Page, I was a complete novice, but enjoyed the new challenges.

Why should anyone bother to read this? Who am I? Just one more person in the world. The world Continue reading...
Someone asked me the other day why I choose to write about both serious and silly things. A lot of blogs have a more specific focus. I guess for me, I find myself wanting the variety. I want the balance that I seek in life to be reflected in this blog. I remember a description Continue reading...
If you’ve been here in the last couple of days you’ve likely noticed a lot of different blog format changes, not to mention times when the blog wasn’t even accessible. The feature and design changes I originally spoke of sort of took on a life of their own. One planned idea led to a dozen Continue reading...
If you were looking for Elizabeth Ely’s Harp Page (my previous incarnation as a harpist) it’s alive and well offering sound clips, CDs, and little harp ramblings just as before. However, it has now moved to a new location. www.members.shaw.ca/elizabethely What you will now find at www.elizabethely.com aka Elizabeth Ely dot Com are the wanderings Continue reading...
