Blogging revisited
Hi all!
I have transitioned from blogger to WordPress. This seems to be a little easier to have multiple users. It will be a slight learning curve for me but hopefully I will catch up soon!

I finally found you again! You might go back to your old blog and correct the URL. I clicked on it several times getting an error message each time until discovering that there is a typo in the URL. Maybe others are having the same trouble finding your new WordPress blog. Looking forward to reading your stuff as it gets posted!
Fixed
I don’t know why it was having so many problems with the url.
Now to address Donny’s question. “If mud is dirt plus water, what is clay? Wet mud.”
Clay is essentially a fine particled material made up mostly of aluminum silicates. It’s porousness is such that it will remain more or less solid, even when wet, though it becomes maleable. When dried, or heated, it can be come quite hard and solid, which is what makes it so useful. Mud, on the otherhand, is of less specific composition, perhaps generally with larger particles and more freely looses its solid consistancy with increasing mosture. It does not dry consistantly into hard, more or less permanent and useful forms as clay typically does. Try making a mud cup sometime, and then try drinking hot coffee from it. Soon you will appreciate the virtues of good old kiln fired clay. Sorry I cannot offer a more scriptural explanation.
I stick by my statement…
If mud is dirt plus water, what is clay? Wet mud.
