The Glitch that stole the Christmas blog

December 25, 2007

In case you’re an IE user and you were unable to read my Christmas post earlier today, I think (hope!) you now can.

Last night, I thought I was so cool, setting up the system to publish up bright and early (5 a.m.) so early rising blog readers could check out the photo of our tree. When I did get up four hours later, I looked and it was there. Then I merrily went off to open gifts.

Then the hubby, finally checking to see that I did justice to his tree decorating prowess, tells me that the blog won’t open in Internet Explorer. He knows I use Firefox and he’s my backup for the more widely used browser.

I’m not sure what the problem was, but I killed the original post, resized the photo, reposted the blog item, republished the whole blog and crossed all my fingers and toes. It seems to be working now (madly knocking every piece of wood I can find!).

So if you missed the earlier post, you can check it out here.

And, again I say, Merry Christmas to you all!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
