Sonny & Cher?

Dream 1

I barely remember part of the end of this dream from last night that took place during the day outside mostly in a courtyard and parking lot-like area between several businesses and maybe a hospital.

One part of the dream possibly involved my male cousin ME and I talking and maybe going to several stores, and another part of the dream involved my former male classmate JH and I talking and going to several businesses.

One of the businesses was a grocery store, one was a small general store that mostly sold food, one was a food stand-like restaurant, and there was possibly one or two others.

I remember my former classmate JH wanting to do something that I was not sure if it was legal or not, I can not remember what but I remember him saying that it was okay, and it involved going inside one of the businesses.

There was more to this dream, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of this dream is being inside a windowless dimly lit house or apartment-like building in a room, I know that my parent’s were there, and I remember finding a photograph in a picture frame of my dad sitting in a dimly lit room on a couch next to a woman and man who were looking down so you could not see their faces.

The photograph seemed to be from the 1970s and for some reason I assumed that the woman and man were Sonny & Cher, I assumed that they were at a party or something at the house of someone my dad knew, but I was not sure so I went to ask my parent’s if that was Sonny & Cher and if my dad knew them.

I probably found my mom but I did not find my dad so I continued looking for him to ask him, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 3

All that I can remember of this dream is that it involved me watching a viral video that a family recorded, the video took place in a dimly lit windowless apartment or hotel or house-like room, and a family (husband, wife, kids, aunts, uncles, cousins, et cetera) with white skin were standing together doing a group hug and maybe talking or chanting and maybe crying.

After this they laughed and separated leaving a baby boy and maybe two other kids alone in the room with no one watching the baby, magically I was standing in the room, and the baby was crawling around wearing only a diaper.

I did not want to leave the baby there alone so I tried to wait for an adult to return, but this was a problem because they did not know me and I was not supposed to be there; and I had no idea how I magically appeared in the place where the viral video was recorded.

It was like I was teleported into this memory of the event, so this was an awkward situation, but I did not want the baby to hurt itself so I stood there waiting for an adult; but I woke up.

Day Ten: Build a Better Blogroll

Today, let’s continue to weave the fabric of the blogosphere using one of the web’s essential tools: links.

Today’s assignment: use a widget to create a blogroll, a list of links you love that you want to share with your readers.

Here’s how:

1. First, decide what kind of widget you want to use: the Blogs I Follow widget, or a Text widget.
2. Next, click the button below to open the Customizer, then select Widgets, and add the widget you want to use.
3. Finally, customize the widget’s settings and/or add your text, then click Save & Publish.

Recommendations are like getting advice from a friend rather than blindly searching the internet; adding them is a no-brainer — and often comes with traffic-building benefits.

Open the Customizer

The Blogs I Follow Widget will generate a list of your most recently-followed blogs automatically, while the Text Widget requires you to enter text and links yourself.

Learn more in the tools and tips for this assignment.

Cheers,
Michelle W. and the WordPress.com Team

I find it strange that the widget designed for blogrolls which is called the Links widget was not mentioned for this part of the course and that there is a blogroll option (feature) in the Links Menu built into WordPress.com itself and that the Links widget shows your blogrolls that you created on WordPress.com in the Links Menu, and so I have contacted the WordPress.com staff using their Contact Page to report this strange omission of that widget and that option (feature).

I am also surprised that they did not mention Reader Lists.

Instead of using either of those three widgets I am now using my About page to show my blogroll (links) and the Posts I Like widget to save space in my sidebar and for a few other reasons.
