How did they know?

I wouldn't have started this blog had not the wedding website I'm building offered me the option to link a blog to the site. I had really enjoyed putting together the slideshow for the website, looking at the photos of our family and things we'd done over the past two-plus years, so I couldn't resist the opportunity to try another new tool.

And so I left the wedding website and went off to create a new blog from scratch. But how did my new blog know the title of the webpage I'd built at a completely different location? Apparently some cyber discussion has occurred between the two sites. A little strange, but...

It reminds me of when Mark & I first met, through an online dating service. Actually, it was two services, belonging to The Seattle Times & The Onion, but they shared a pool of seeking men and women. An ocean full of fish, so to speak.

Very early on in our internet conversations, our emails began to do funny things, such as squish the letters of our names together or add smiley-face icons! I have never included a smiley-face icon in an email in my life. I don't even know how to make those text-based colon-close-parentheses smiley faces. Wait a second...

:)

...I guess I do! Nevertheless, for some reason, the email programs with which we communicated took it upon themselves (because this happened on both sides of our conversation) to add flirtatious formatting on our behalf!

Did they think we weren't doing a good enough job?

Perhaps I should thank them...
