Glassman's Got a New Blog & It's Plaid!

**GlassMan** · 11th January 06, 02:23 PM

Hi everyone, well I finally gave in to the modern world and created a blog. Actually I signed up for a free account at MySpace.com and am using several of the features there including the photo album & the blog. The good part is it is free. The bad part is that it is not fully customizeable. I've been able to put the Ancient MacKay tartan in the background and added bagpipe music for ambiance, but I can't get rid of some of the formating.

So if you're interested you can find me at: http://www.myspace.com/kiltedglassman

I've got pics of me in kilts & also some of my artwork in the photo album. The only bad part of that album is that I'm limited to 12 pics, so I'll have to rotate pics through.

Phil, Got to your site but could not find the album (I guess I could be a little challenged). Great site and what an educational background. I did like the pic from DC with the ladder truck in the background. I'll try later and maybe I'll be able to figure it out! I can't wait to see some of your glass work!

That's one of the things I don't like about the set-up, the fact that it is a bit confusing. To find the photo album (since there's no link that says Photo Album) you have to click on the phrase below my face pic (face and hat only) that says "View More Pics"

Phil, I tried that but it seems that I have to join up for 'My Space' before I can view your photo album (or have I missed something?). I no longer subscribe to this need for registration/membership that is prevalent nowadays. Maybe I am missing a lot, but I do like to retain some of the little privacy I still have in this day and age! ;)

Hey, I have a MySpace setup as well:

We should all add each other as friends, heck we should start an Xmarks group.

I checked out your site, and you have some mighty impressive credentials! I added a friends request (MySpace name is Saxismyaxe) too. Even though you are a MacKay and I'm a Sutherland, I hope you'll add me to your friends list! ;) As a fellow artist, I must say those are very nice stained glass pieces by the way. Cheers.
Michael.

Thanks! And I've sent you a similar request. And thank you for your compliments. I won't bear any grudges either. It's not your fault your ancestors stole all of our lands!

I checked your site out and it looks great. One of my sisters does stained glass ornaments and she has your book. I didn't know you were the author 'till i saw it on your site.

I figured you'd kid me with something like that.

I'm certain I don't have to tell you that the two clans actually burried the hatched (or claymore, if you will) many moons ago and have been allies for much longer than they were enemies. Both were out in the forth and final Jacobite Rebellion. Cheers, and glad to meet you!
