This website has been on line for a year now and this week, I would like to talk about some questions that you asked and I answered in private; I think there are worth sharing. Shall we start?
- Home / Blog. The "Home" page didn't exist on my previous Blogger blog and I'm afraid, that still raises some doubts. I'll try to clarify them. The "Blog" tab basically shares the Blogger’s content (ie weekly posts and the list of posted songs) and a page containing all the song series. At "Home", most recent information can be found, ie news (a course, a talk,...), my latest blog posts and my latest articles on Núvol or Codalario, the two medias to which I contribute. “Home” usually includes my last month updates; once they’re not on "Inici" anymore, the articles can be found on Blog or Contributions.
- Subscriptions. In the right column, you hold two options to subscribe to this web's updates, the classical RSS feed and email. If you subscribe by mail don't worry, you will only receive one email every week, compiling all my latest publications. Some of you asked about subscription through Feedly. I also use this application and when I want to add a website, I put its name or some keywords on the "add content" box, that's all. That's why I didn't put any specific button for Feedly but if you think it's necessary, please, let me know!
- Printing post. Another usual comment: "I wish it were easier to print a document, I’d rather read it on paper." But believe me, it couldn't be easier! When we're reading a post we can see on the top right, an icon of a printer; Click it and a window with the post in the print format (ie without header or sidebar) will be opened; click the printer button and then print the post like any other document in your computer. By the way, if you think that a friend would like the post, click the next envelope button to send it!
- Comments. Some days ago, I had to put a captcha to the comments. I always thought that having to prove I'm a person and not a robot is quite annoying and, in fact, I only asked you for a name in order to address you in some way. But this website has been attacked by robots that left hundreds of comments; after trying several options less "aggressive", I was forced to activate the captcha. I'm sorry, I hope that robots will forget me sooner or later...
Enjoy your holiday!
Amor, faré una passera
damunt de la mar.
La pedra llisca lleugera
damunt de la mar.
Mon braç l’ha tornat alada.
Vola, que l’ombra morada
no sigui xarxa parada
damunt de la mar.
Si la gavina s’acosta,
fes via, brunzent.
Pedra, si és roja la posta,
fes via, brunzent.
No et torbi l’escull, esquiva
l’abraçada fugitiva
del dofí. Sageta viva,
fes via, brunzent.
El mar té camins de fada,
blanc i rosa, Amor.
Els feia la pedra alada,
blanc i rosa, Amor.
Ves-hi peu nu, rosa vera.
Oreig damunt la passera,
amb la teva mà lleugera,
cull l’estel, Amor.
Love, I will build a passageway
over the sea.
The stone slides swiftly
over the sea.
My arm has given it wings.
Fly, so that the purple shadow
does not become a net set down
over the sea.
If the seagull comes near,
rush away, buzzing.
Stone, if the sunset is red,
rush away, buzzing.
See that the reef does not delay you
shun the dolphin's fleeting
embrace. Lively arrow,
rush away, buzzing.
The sea has fairy paths,
white and pink, Love
The winged stone has made them,
white and pink, Love.
Walk there barefoot, true rose.
Breeze blowing over the passageway,
with your nimble hand
catch the star, Love
