About this Blog…

Welcome to priorhouse blog. I started this blog for two reasons.

First –  so that some local folks could get to know the Priors a little bit more.

Second – I wanted to share with other Educators and give back (a little) to those who generously share online.

photo for blog

So “about this blog” – here you will find a mix of  topics (photos, art, and literature) and hopefully some encouragement.

And “about this blogger” – I am a teacher, mother, wife, and friend. I like to take photos and many posts connect to photo challenges.

In January 2017, I started joining flash fiction challenges and try to do one per week

Thanks for stopping by.

    1. I agree with Playamart – Zeebra Designs that the introduction that Y. Prior has given us here is a testament to your passion and penchant as “a true educator and natural teacher”.

      I would like to suggest a better way to showcase your photos through tiling them rather than displaying them one after another as the vertical stacking approach takes up a lot of vertical space and thus entails a lot of vertical scrolling. You can see an example of the tiling approach dealing with nearly 100 images at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2017/09/28/optical-illusions/

      May you have a lovely weekend and happy October to you and your family!

      1. Thanks so much for your nice comment.
        and I have changed my “about page” a few times over the years and maybe I should have noted that somewhere – and so some of the comments for this page were reflecting on content that has been removed – if that makes sense.
        and thanks for your nice suggestion – however, while I like how many bloggers use the tiles, it is not “my” preference. I also have considered a slideshow, but that was not what I was going after either. The primary goal of my about page was to give folks a taste of what they could find at this blog – and when I decided to include a bunch of photos – just one on top op of the other – it was quite intentional. I guess we like what we like – just like you seem to really love adding music to so much on your sound eagle blog – music and sound is your thing – and maybe here – the classic feel and simplicity of stacked photos reflects my essence.
        But thanks again – and again I do like how some folks use the tiled slideshows – and I can see how it is a tool for creative presentation

      2. Hello Y. Prior! Thank you for your reply. My suggestion of using the tile format is out of a sense of necessity or sensibility, as one would find it to be the case if or when the number of photos to be presented in the “About” page (or any page or post for that matter) is around one hundred or more. I would like to clarify that this matter has little or nothing to do with what formats other bloggers happen to choose to display their photos. Rather, the matter has far more to do with the functionality, presentation, user interface and user friendliness of a blog or website.

        Regardless of my suggestion, you are of course always at full liberty to decide on how any post or page on your blog is to be presented, for any reason or purpose. There would be no need to make any change(s), if or when the results are as intended and satisfying to you. 🙂

      3. well thanks – and I was just saying that I have seen the tile format used on many blogs and it seems to really be a preference thing.
        But thanks for coming back to explain and clarify – I am actually honored that you offered a suggestion – it shows something nice about you.

        oh – but maybe it seemed like I had 100 plus photos, but i just went and counted and I have under 40 – and actually a couple of them are combined into one image –
        so where did you get 100 form (just curious)

        Liked by 1 person

      4. The 100 referred to mine, as you can see from my earlier comments. Even just 40 images or so can be significantly numerous to warrant careful consideration of placements. 🙂

      6. actually I can see how you might count the collages for their individual photos – but I just went back and counted and reached 40. side note – and not that this matters – but I just went to that page today added three – the family ones and the gif – but after receiving your feedback – I think I will go back in and clean up a few. I am still going to leave it one photo after the other – because again – I do not care for the tile layout – although I think it works REALLY well for your optical illusions and I like when other bloggers use it – but I like the stacked pics….

      8. hey – thanks so much again – because after i went back and counted the pics – I realized I had one of them twice – the flowers – and it also needed some editing.
        so I really appreciate you taking the time to drop me a note.

      9. Moreover, whether my images are in tile or stack format, I usually try to present them in such a way that each of these images can be commented on by clicking or touching it to activate its own comment section, which will “float” on top of the post or page.

      10. and I almost took out your link – but I will leave it in because you have some amazing visuals with optical illusions – brilliant actually.
        And yes, i would say that tiling works for you and what you wanted to provide to your readers – (although in my humble opinion – there is so much on that page that you were right to warn folks it will take a while to load – so while I think less is more – you obviously have a flair for dense…. and I am glad the tile option works for your needs…)

  15. I had to chuckle reading this — a few years ago I was at the opening of a film. An INCREDIBLY small art film and I was in it (shudder). The opening was in a gallery. One of the works of art in the gallery was a sculpture of Christ on the Cross all made of barbed wire. I said to my friend, “Poor Jesus. They just can’t leave off crucifying him.” That’s how I feel about the word “Christian” today. For that reason I’m the one praying in secret…

    I was just snooping around yours and really like what I see, so now I’m following you too! Warning though, I am an atheist so I hope that doesn’t offend you. It seems to bother some folks, but you strike me as being very level-headed and non-judgemental. 🙂

    1. I think I found you on “musings with a tangled mind” blog – and well, I like how you speak your mind. I also cannot believe you have a twenty year old cat! or should I say that you have your senior “fur-babies” – 🙂

      and well regarding religion – I actually have a few atheists that follow my blog – and some panthiests, some agnostics, one or two who are recovering from RTS (religious trauma syndrome), a couple of “deistic evolutionists” and who knows who else – and well, I am honored that you are here. and like your latest blog, this is a perosnal blog for me and while I cannot predict any posts – I specifically do not want to have a religious blog right now. Sometimes I mention God – like on my easter post – and sometimes I feel like I can piss everyone off – like some Christians might want me to mention God or Jesus in every post – and then at times non-Christians may roll their eyes when I post a song about God’s grace. But my favorite thing was when my friend from CO asked me for some tea poems recently and just said, “could you find some non-religious” ones – and well, just a mutual, non-juding respect about beliefs allows our friendship to flourish. and that’s cool.

      anyhow, in closing, the good thing about following a blog – is that it is very easy to click UNFOLLOW – and so if you become annoyed or just feel ill after reading posts – (lol) well it may mean we were only meant to cross blog paths short term.

      I think we are similar when it comes to follows, we are not “follow happy” and we only follow blogs that we “truly want” to follow.

      in contrast, some people build their blogs by ‘follow me and I will follow you back’ – but time is precious and I refuse to clog my reader with “numbers-based followers”- who have content that I am not interested in “at this time.”

      🙂 glad you’re here – and I will not offer you snake oil! ha ha

      1. Ha ha. I think you might be right on all counts! And yes, we did meet on Musings blog.

        I do like to speak my mind and while I follow a fair number of blogs, I am still picky.

        I figured you were pretty open minded after touring part of your blog. I respect religion, when it’s a personal thing. Heck, I’m married to a Pagan! What I can’t abide are all the horrible things done through the world, in the name of religion. Or hypocrites who preach one thing, but act differently.

        And thank you for not trying sell me any snake oil! Now if I could just figure out how to get rid of my unwanted followers who are trying to sell me some. *annoyed face* Think I’m up to 6 or 7 of such leeches now.

  21. Hi there. Hey, I like the fact that you said you don’t like to use the word Christian because it gives off the wrong idea now-a-day. When I was in Afghanistan, I learned that Christians there don’t say that they’re Christians. They say that they’re followers of Jesus. This is because Muslims respect Jesus, but they don’t respect ‘Christians’. To them, any American is a Christian. So then, Madonna is a Christian, Bill Clinton is a Christian, Hollywood actors are all Christians… I believe this is because there’s no separation of religion and state in Afghanistan. Islam is not only their religion, but it’s also the law of the land. Anyhow, now I’m rambling. I too am a woman of faith. And I too don’t like to use the word religious when speaking about my faith.

  28. Like you, I prefer spiritual, not religious. And yes, I agree, being Christian these days has so much baggage associated with it. I respect most religions, and abhor the radicalization of them for the purpose of political gain and upholding illusions of grandeur among the gargantuan egos that abound. I even respect atheists. We still need to learn that it is possible to live in peace side by side in this world.

  46. Oh Yvette, I’ve nominated you for the B&W challenge and just see that you’ve been nominated already. I hadn’t read through all your comments here.

    You know, better than most I think that blogging is all about having fun and so picking up the challenge is of course entirely optional. Whether you decide to take up the challenge or not, I want to acknowledge all the encouragement you’ve given me since I met you here. Thank-you!

    The guidelines are straightforward. In fact there are only two:
    1) On 5 consecutive days create a post using either a past or recent photo in B&W.
    2) Each day invite another blogging friend to join in the fun.

    Here’s the link to my response on day 4 of the challenge

      1. I tried hosting challenges when I first started blogging, and they went no where. Then I realized how much work they were because you don’t just put them up there and let people post their pictures. You actually have to post, too! I did not have enough pictures to keep it going, and since they were about specific communities where I did not live, the idea died of natural causes. I’m trying to get book reviews started for people who review books, but that isn’t working very well either. However, it is something that I do anyway, so I’ll continue it. It’s not a photo challenge. I don’t know about you, but I find photo challenges more fun to participate in than writing challenges even though I love to write. The good news out of all this is that we have discovered each other’s blogs. 🙂

        I think the best reason to do a challenge is for oneself – and it sounds like your book review share is in that vein and so maybe it needs time to percolate – I will be over to check it out later – TTYL

  66. Very nice, eclectic, worldly, and FUN! An honor to meet you and have you stop by my blog. My site for the past year has been so wrapped up in the writing, research, design and publishing of my 8th fiction book. This is the book I was blessed and placed upon this earth to write, even though all my fictional works have a mission and a crusade. I mention this because my blog is normally very eclectic too with poetry on any subject imaginable, editing, mentoring–and not just on editorial and design/formatting/content and development rescue–but psychology, paranormal activity, women’s/children’s rights and support, and especially young woman with SLE Lupus, which I have survived for 24 years. I see wonderful commonalities as we reach out to help others with laughter and beauty. A honor to make your acquaintance.

      1. I love your phrasing “especially the one you are so proud of”. Yes, Annie is very special to me. I don’t know as a Christian how I feel about past lives, but I sure feel like I was Annie in the mid-1600s. Yes, Lupus is a woman’s auto-immune disorder. 90% women, in fact, even though a man does pop up with it sometimes. It only adds to the dilemma of what causes it. It has baffled medical science for decades. It has been linked to DNA, but no rhyme or reason for familial progression. I’m doing okay. I am so gracious for your kindness. My blog has been suffering while I’ve been working on Annie. If I can ever learn how to promote my writing instead of editing for others, maybe I can do what I want most to do … write fiction. Tough market out there. My Denny Ryder Paranormal Crime Series (short novellas with a unmedicated psychopathic Schizophrenic serial killer) has been reviewed well too, just not nearly enough. Again, not having the time to promote. I’ve vowed to take the time with Annie. Lol So nice to meet you!

      and the grapes are from Canada and they remind me of a very special trip we had visiting family. They are wine grapes and were delicious to eat….
      xxoo

      1. That’s so funny because I had someone ask me why I don’t post Indian recipes since that’s the name of my blog…lol So he’s not alone. I get a lot of hits because people think that’s what it is! Unintentional…lol

  84. I’ve been doing the Sunday Photo Fiction prompt for years! You might also like:

    The big restriction to the prompts are that the stories are 99 words no more no less.

    Mostly I post those (as well as SPF) at my fiction place, but I also have a short and long verse place in an attempt to get organized… so I post my entry where the category fits…

    I taught years ago. Now I teach my grands… Cheers, Jules

  90. Hi Prior. WordPress let me know that you stopped by my story blog today. Thanks and welcome. I also noted in the above that you are involved in education. With the hopes that you like unique takes on how things are done in education: I invite you to review what I did one year while teaching for UC Berkeley Extension in the Computer Science department. It proved to be lots of fun and it really helped the students get their minds around a tough topic. Regardless, I hope you stop by again. There are lots of stories with family, or young boys getting into trouble or surviving same. Here’s the story I mentioned above. It’s great to meet you.
