I’m exhausted of politics.  Two years getting Carrington Neighborhood Association going only to have a very negative situation go down.
I’ve met some wonderful people through local websites and blogs and through trying to do community work.  Unfortunatly, I have met some abusive, abrasive, bigoted people too, who don’t deserve my energy.
So, I probably won’t be [...]

We are doing work on the Cafe. We will likely be doing work on it for the next couple of weeks. So if things look weird, that’s why!

The poor Cafe has been neglected and I don’t think it will be getting better in the very near future.  HOWEVER – since I like to go with the flow and roll with the times, there are some changes in mind to make things more active.  Oh, there are, there are – trust me.  The [...]

Robert and I switched to a new server company a couple of weeks ago.  You may have noticed the sites being down and my emails bouncing back and so forth.  Well, until Monday expect more problems with all Allzah related blogs which include this site, my art site and my personal blog.  We are switching [...]

You may not have noticed,  but the Cafe underwent a major move this weekend.  And, much like the Baltimore Colts in 1984, it was done in the middle of the night.
Hopefully, Cafe’ers wouldn’t notice anything, since the site was moved to it’s new home in the dead of the night.  But, if you did, hopefully [...]

Maybe you’ve noticed it’s been a little sparse on the postings around here lately.  I have a theory that it’s got a lot to do with the amount of time the Cafe bloggers have been spending on Facebook.  So, I started a Facebook group for Charles County Cafe.
We won’t be closing down the Cafe.  There [...]

I am still having problems posting. Right now I can only get the html side of this in Firefox even though “visual” is is the tab I’m in. Hopefully this will post correctly anyway.
When I look at it in Explorer my “Title” box in write mode is GIANT *and* doesn’t work – I can’t write [...]

Just an FYI since folks seem to wonder where I am – I was sick until yesterday and today, I’m sleepy.  On top of that I am having computer issues, lots of little ones that make being on the computer and trying to do a day’s work very frustrating.  Robert has not had time to [...]

Hey guys!  Just wanted to let you know that we are hoping to roll out a new Charles County Cafe design by the first of the year.  The layout should be more “newspaperish” 
I am looking for anybody interested in writing from a viewpoint we don’t already represent on the Cafe. 
This is volunteer only.   [...]

I will be upgrading the Cafe to the latest version of WordPress today, so it will be temporarily offline for as much as 30 mins.  While it’s offline, you won’t be able to post, or read any posts, sorry.
It will go down around 1:30, and should be up by 2:00.
Thanks,
Your friendly neighborhood Administrator

Sorry guys, I got behind on the banners and you can see, we don’t have one for today.  Luckily I have some cups folks sent me in emails – I can use those up.  Send in holiday images – cups with candy canes or whatever, if you feel up to it – or a new [...]

You may have noticed that when you paste a long thread of a url into the comment box within the first 125 characters that it shows up in the recent comments box on the left of the screen and bleeds over into the main text.
This is a howto on how to avoid that problem:
<a href=”thefullurl”>thewordyouwantlinked</a>

Okay – here’s the deal.  I have been unable to find a good category widget.  One that will have a category and sub-categories that will actually work when you put it on the page.  The one I tried to load two days ago made everything on the right side of the site disappear.
SOOOOO – I [...]

I just wanted to point out that I got rid of the “orgs” page and created a list of non-profits on the right side down the blog.  Also in the right column are links to the commissioner’s bios, county government stuff as well as Charles County Public Schools links.  I also added the two major [...]

Do you want a weather widget on this page?

I’d love one!

It doesn’t matter to me at all.

Waste of space.
