Last week, I published Wednesday Wisdom as an experiment. I tried to include a quote from Alice Walker and a photo. I seem to be the only person who received the imbedded photo. I hope the quotation and photo actually appear at the top of this post. Just in case, the relevant quotation is: “Much of the satisfying work of life begins as an experiment; having learned this, no experiment is ever quite a failure.”
In light of Walker’s wisdom, my experimental Wednesday Wisdom post did not quite fail. True, it did not do what I hoped for. Some readers received garbled computer text, others received a box with a question mark or an X. But it was not a total failure because it showed me that what I tried didn’t work, and it provided the impetus for me to keep learning and experimenting. Yippee! As Marshall McLuhan says, “The medium is the message.”
This post is another experiment. I hope the image I created appears this time. If it does, this will have been a BIG step for Barbara.
Please, please, send me a comment or email letting me know if your version of this blog post includes an image of the Walker quotation and a young girl at a piano. As far as I can tell, it will, but then, I thought it would last time, too. Thank you.
Look for another Wednesday Wisdom this week. I will publish longer posts about every two weeks.
Yes, it worked. Great blog… well done and entertaining.
Hi Barbara……. Haven’t heard from you in awhile. Hope all is good with you.
Fondly,
Sue Oertel

P.S. I read all your posts and find them inspiring, true, and comforting. Thanks again.
I received it all both times…..
It all worked this time. Two similar quotes that are favorites of mine by the late Dr. Stephan Glenn: “Mistakes are opportunities to learn.” and “Are you looking for blame or looking for solutions?”
Unlike last time, everything came through perfectly – congratulations!
Got the photo and quote this time. Thanks for sharing.
all are safely gathered in–picture, quote and post! Well-done!

We got the picture as well. Thank you for sharing! Your blog brought to mind a wise friend of ours who said something to the effect of ..Mishaps are the key to our success. —Elizabeth

Hooray! Thank you for letting me know.
I’m happy to know that all my to no avail attempts to figure out last Wednesday”s post were not my fault. I did read the quote and see the little girl at the piano. I look forward to knowing what’s next.
Yeah! Thanks for letting me know it came through.
It came through just right!
Hooray. Maybe I can learn some of your tips for the future.
