Friday Roundup: Summer Fun in the Sun

We're so grateful that the weather has been nice here in the Bay Area. Makes it that much easier to get outside and enjoy those long summer days. This week's Friday Roundup includes a selection of posts that made rounds at the office.

• Our very own, kimmi8, traveled to Playa del Carmen.  We're still wondering why she didn't take the rest of the team...
• Jena Coray, aka: Miss Modish makes growing summer vegetables a piece of cake.
• Make a refreshing meal with a summer green salad in avocado & cashew tarragon dressing. Follow We Like It Raw for more recipes every day.
• Looking for a summer project? Lily Bean makes paper-crafting lovely.
• Michael Booth travels to Brittany, France to blog about artichokes?
• And while we're on the topic of food, hot dog eating ex-champ Kobayashi was arrested in Coney Island! 
• We're not all about eating here. Really. Sometimes we like to sweat or at least read about it on EverymanTri.com.

Over to you, dear readers.  Share your favorite TypePad (or any blog!) post from the last couple weeks in the comments!.

Here in the UK it has been hot, hot, hot. This does not happen very often as I am sure you know and in true Brit fashion, after weeks of moaning about the rotten summer weather, we are now moaning about the heat. I am just so glad that I am now retired, no more forcing my way onto sweaty horrid trains with sweaty horrid people (sure they are nice really....)and so can enjoy the sunshine

glad to hear you are too!

oh it is soooo soooo hot in Antigua- during the day. At nights, we've been having thunderstorms lately...very odd.

It's carnival here too, so there's lots of parties and cultural events to experience. I'll probably do a post on the costumes (but I'm participating in carnival too) so I'll have to designate a photographer. I love summer.... even with the crazy heat ^_^

Who cares about where people spend their summer holidays? Post something useful: something about how to solve that annoying problem of inserting pictures in blog posts. Better yet do something about that darn issue. It's getting on my nerves already!

Thanks for the recommendation!

We pick blogs based on subject matter and what's been making the rounds at the office. Maybe someday you will be picked!

[kimmi8]

These are the posts that make the rounds at our office. Friday Roundup is not about posting bugfixes. That being said, sounds like you're having issues with inserting photos into your blog. Can you describe the issues that you're having? Are you not able to insert a photo? Are the photos inserted incorrectly?

[Barbara Wilford Gentry]

Welcome, I am fairly new too!!
If you want something to do check out some nice photo and art work
