An Aha Tech Moment

I love those discoveries that just happen.  I wasn't planning it.  I wasn't searching for it.  It just happened.  So, here's what I discovered:

I enjoy reading the Tuesday Slice of Life Stories hosted by Ruth and Stacey @ the Two Writing Teachers blog.

However, I dislike the back and forth and uneasiness of reading a slice then trying feverishly to return back to the Two Writing Teachers blog to read more.

Click. Click. Send. Click. Ugh! Click. Grrrr.

This is especially difficult when trying to read many slices during the March Slice of Life challenge.

But, guess what?  I've discovered the quick and easy way back! Maybe you already knew this.  Maybe you found another way.  But I know my mom and I talked about this frustration and so this post is really for her.  :)

So, Mom.  Go to the Two Writing Teachers blog.  Select a slice to read and leave a thoughtful comment.  (Go ahead, I'll give you a minute or two.)

Now, click on the left back arrow and HOLD.

All the previous sites appear and you can easily select and go right back to The Two Writing Teachers blog.

Did it work?  I found that it works in Safari and Firefox.

A little tech aha that I had to share!

    A very useful tool! Glad you found out about this little trick. Sometimes I wonder hy there are so many entries per each site. Questions of technology I don't really need to know the answer to.
    Thanks for noticing I was missing for a few weeks. I missed my Tuesday fix of learning of everyone's life.

    Thank you! I usually just keep their blog up & return to it on another page. But this is much easier. Hurrah!

    So excited :) I just tried it out in Chrome and it worked there as well. I had been copying the link to paste each time I wanted to go back. This will be so much easier! Thanks for sharing. I especially love the fun voice with the shift of audience to your mom.

    Duh! Thank you! I knew that existed, but have never used it for this! Instead, I have always - like for four years - done the "Click, click, comment, Grrr, click, Grr..." method! :) Thanks for a great reminder! :)

    Wow Michelle,
    What a great thing to share! I agree, it was very frustrating to click back and find the main page to get back to sometimes. Thank you so much for sharing this link back short cut! It will be so very easy now!

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
