Get rid of ‘blogs I’m following’ from Google Reader
I made this quick little ‘how to’ screencast to show you how to remove that pesky ‘Blogs I’m following’ category from your google reader.
The main reason that I chose to do this was because I wanted to categorise the blogs i follow via the ‘follow’ button on their blogs, in the same way that all my other blogs are categorised.
For me, categorising is an important part of blog reading. It means that I can access my regular reads quickly, and that I can draw inspiration on certain topics easily by browsing the blogs in that category!

Bread Making
About two weeks ago my dad and I went to learn how to make bread. A lady from my church ran it, and we ate the most DELICIOUS bread. The next day dad and I went a bit bread crazy, and we made breads, and pizza bases… so yum!
The bread we made in the video below was Ciabatta, an Italian loaf you can probably get in the bakery. It was fairly easy, but we did have to let it rise for 12 hours, so it took a bit of forward planning, and a whole lot of patience!!
Since then I’ve made a few more batches, and we’ve been eating the bread I’ve made for lunches. I’m a little bit annoyed because my own doesn’t seem to be making bread as nicely as mum and dad’s oven, or the oven we learnt on… it means that while these bread loaves are beautiful and soft, mine are always a bit hard- because the heat isn’t getting into the bread right… 
Apparently this is something that does happen, and a consideration when buying an oven. When we build I will be looking out for a super duper oven, but for now I think I’ll have to think of a way to make do with what I’ve got!
Anyway, this is how it went (let me know in the comments if you want the recipe, and I’ll type it up!):

Clever Button: Archdukes
My younger brother, Amon, is in year 12 this year. His friend, Brayden has a brother, Jacob, who’s in a band- the Archdukes. Amon and Brayden (and I guess the others in the video?) decided they needed a film clip. So they made this…
I’m sure they would love a few ‘favourites’ on youtube, or even some (shock, horro) COMMENTS! So if you feel that way inclined, make your way over to the video I’ve embedded below (just click on the video while it’s playing to go to the video on youtube), and let them know how awesome it is. 
P.S My brother is the one you see first. And no, it’s not him singing- it’s the band’s song and they’re just playing around with it…
