Hi I'm Viv and I really am Viv....

Best post so far imo. Love that :)

very kind Nige

Very nice, Very Viv. :)

oh boy. what do you say? the moblog Hammer. the one who says it the way she sees it, not matter what. someone I depend on to speak truth to power. and she has the best bathroom view in the whole blog. and two of the finest daughters around.

thanks all and miss you Spiderbaby
and Swamprose hugs it means a lot

I've been very impressed by all the Meet the Mods posts, including, of course, this one. What a classy, honest, smart, funny and generous group of people, in all their variety!!!

Thanks Factotum. Yes we are individual and very varied but we are a team!

I'm really really proud of you guys!

That's lovely, that is :)

haha, being another 'stalker mum' brought me here too, and it has been my pleasure to meet you in RL....
meet the mods is a great idea and is showing us all what a great community this is

A big : ) to you Viv x

Thanks Twiglet and that day we came out to yours Paintist (one of Carole's brainwaves) marked a big change in my moblog life - going by myself and meeting up with everyone. It was a great day and I met so many of you for the first time including SLG :)

I can't get over how similar you and Beth are facially - two real beauties, I think it's the eyes, among other things (well the eyes have to be among other things, don't they?). You're a voice of calm and reason where it's needed Viv, and I give you my best wishes in your new role. While I'm here, now I've started using the "latest" page rather than my own dashboard, I get a moblog error message every time I first click on the link to it, which goes away when I click a second time, and the page is revealed. I don't know if anyone else is getting this. I'm using Safari browser if that's of any consequence, but it also happens in Firefox. Blessings.

Thanks Hobo - I see the young me in her.
Not always calm and reason I assure you but it is what I aim for :)
Yes I have that problem too :)
Sure it's known but should put it in bugs to be fixed list - lot quicker than dashboard though :)

Is fine in IE7 but will check in Chrome, Firefox and Safari (ooh the proliferation of browsers!) at home!

I use firefox - it happens frequently but not all the time

Actually, that's a lie from me above - I can't get to the latest page from my direct bookmark.

(oh and nice piece Viv!)

:) thanks Kel

Beautiful photo- & now it all makes sense. Thanks for your encouragement

Qssx

Thanks QSS
What makes sense - the changes?

Think we are so involved that we find it difficult to see it from the perspective of others

but the most important thing to us is that everyone should feel involved

which means using moblog, because if no-one is posting or talking moblog is dead

so turning this round is not down to us, we are just supporting JC and Mat and taking on responsibility for... hopefully better communications, day to day maintenance and some long term planning but if moblog is to prosper then everyone has to want it and use it and enjoy it.

If anyone has questions, worries or ideas let us know. Use the forum or Get Satisfaction, email us, or even use these columns. We want this to work, we will do what it takes - if we can :)

Oh and if you haven't yet done so please make 'moblog news' a friend so that we can keep you up to date.

I loved reading what you have written. You have been carrying the fire for all of us Viv. Thanks.

Roughly translated I've been a pain - but with a purpose :)
Glad it's taken as it's intended.
Thankyou.

That you for this profile. I like hearing about the different routes into Moblog ...

you're welcome
