Your own blog on the Creative Nudge site

I made an offer a while ago to let any Con­sor­tium mem­ber have their own blogs on the site. That offer still stands, but with a lit­tle twist. Now, you can have your own blog at the address http://blogs.creativenudge.org/BLOGNAME. It’s free. It’s easy. You can have a blog today if you want to. Just let me know if you’re interested.

My summer madness

My home­town of Helena is a pretty lame place to be hang­ing out in. There isn’t much of any­thing to do and I don’t have a car so I can’t exactly go visit all my friends indi­vid­u­ally when I visit. But at the same time I feel at ease and happy when I’m there. Every time I go visit Helena my mind is flooded with mem­o­ries from every moun­tain, side­walk, and rural area. Read more

My greatest achievment

It was the spring of 2007; my grad­u­a­tion from High school was quickly approach­ing. The pres­sure was start­ing to set in; what was going to hap­pen next as I started my path in life? Would I get into col­lege? Either way I knew my life was about to change for­ever. Read more

I wrote about my big sis Melany. my pro­fes­sor said she wanted it to be com­pas­sion­ate; i sauced up the per­sona of mel alil bit, but i love her to death any­ways! Enjoy, and please com­ment freely. Read more

Comfort Food

Who­ever you are, there is a food that brings you back home and makes you feel like every­thing will be alright. It might be an indul­gently sweet desert or a fat-filled, carbohydrate-laden main dish. It might even be a healthy, whole­some dish, just like the one your mom made.

Com­fort foods can help a per­son get back on track when they’re feel­ing down or, when food is used to fill a void of some sort, com­fort foods can knock a per­son off track. Restau­rants dress up com­fort foods and mag­a­zines pub­lish fam­ily recipes. We have a love affair with food that makes us feel good–create some­thing that pays homage to this great love.

Pasting your entries from a word processing program

There may come a time when you want to post an entry to the Cre­ative Nudge that is already saved as Word doc­u­ment (or some other odd for­mat, like OpenOf­fice or Pages). The prob­lem with this is that, some­times, when you paste from these other pro­grams, weird for­mat­ting comes through with the text, mak­ing it look all funky when it’s dis­played on the Nudge site. This post will tell you how to avoid that. Read more
