Progress hit a virtual standstill last week as I was wiped out by a nasty little virus. It’s hard to work when you don’t even have the energy to get up to get a glass of water. But that’s just one of the many setbacks that I expect to have on this journey and I’ll […]
When I posted the information about Oktoberfest, I had only researched the most popular German festivals in the United States. For the past couple of days, I’ve been working to expand the list to include the other celebrations of Oktoberfest in America. And I finished the list up last night. From Maine to Hawaii, you’ll […]
It’s perfectly OK if the answer is no. You still have six months to get in the mood to party during October. But when the end of September rolls around, you had better have that frown turned upside down! If you said YES – then you should reserve space on your calendar for one of […]
Happy Easter! Another major holiday passes in the countdown until the best holiday of the year. There are 206 days left until Halloween. I took a few minutes this morning from my Easter celebration to add a new logo to my Facebook page and twitter account. I expect that I’ll spend the money to have […]
This morning, I’ve updated the policies and governing legal documents for Funtober. You should take a few minutes out of your day and check them out. They govern your use of this website. So they are kind of a big deal. I know that most people don’t read them unless they have to hire an […]
You may have noticed some of the most recent changes here at Funtober. On Wednesday, I added the Funtober facebook page and twitter account to the sidebar. Be sure to LIKE and FOLLOW us! I’ll be haphazardly tweeting and posting updates about the website for the next few months until September rolls around. At that […]
One of the events that I am looking forward to this October is my visit to a local farm to get lost in their corn maze. The Funtober corn maze directory was the first section of Funtober that I worked on, but there are a lot of corn mazes in the United States and I […]
I was asked by one of my friends this weekend what this website was about. Rattling off the domain name has been easy. Everybody loves it. But the next two sentences are much harder. So I thought I would write a quick post about it so that I could just point people to it. Funtober […]
The two sections that I added yesterday were travel and haunted houses. Today’s addition relates to Oktoberfest. Since it could go in either festivals or travel, I decided to put it in its own section. It’s big enough to warrant it. Six million people attended in Munich last year. And millions more celebrated outside Munich. […]
It’s appropriate that today is the first blog post here. I’ve been working on configuring the cloud server that runs Funtober since Sunday morning. The first time through anything new is always a hassle. As of 2:30 am this morning, I’ve resolved the issues and the site is up. I’ve blocked search engines for the […]
