How to Find Videos, the Calendar, and Blog Posts on Ellouisestory

Updated

Ellouisestory (ellouisestory.blogspot.com) is a Blogger site, and its navigation is built around a short set of text links rather than a menu bar: About Ellouise, CALENDAR, BLOG, VIDEOS, and topic pages such as THE HELLO GIRLS, ARLINGTON: My Forever Home, PUSHING BOUNDARIES, and FINDING GUS. To reach any of these, open the site's home page and use those links; the blog posts themselves appear below the navigation in reverse-chronological order, newest first.

Finding the main sections

The site's own headings list the navigation entries as "About Ellouise CALENDAR BLOG VIDEOS THE HELLO GIRLS ARLINGTON: My Forever Home PUSHING BOUNDARIES FINDING GUS." In practice:

  • About Ellouise — background on the storyteller behind the site.
  • CALENDAR — the schedule page for upcoming appearances and performances.
  • BLOG — the main feed of dated posts.
  • VIDEOS — a collected page for video content.
  • Topic pages — THE HELLO GIRLS, ARLINGTON: My Forever Home, PUSHING BOUNDARIES, and FINDING GUS group posts and material around a single subject.

Because this is a standard Blogger layout, these links sit in the header or sidebar area of the page. If a link does not respond, scroll to the top of the page and try again, or load the blog's home address directly and look for the same labels.

Browsing blog posts by date

Posts are organized by publication date, and the archive is visible in the headings: 6/01/2025, 10/29/2023, 3/08/2023, and 3/05/2023 all appear as dated entries. Each post ends with a comment count (for example, "No comments" or "2 comments"), which tells you whether a post has an active discussion.

To read older material, scroll down the main feed or use the date-based archive that Blogger generates for the blog. The most recent post, dated 6/01/2025, describes a May 25 event at the Museum of the United States Army celebrating the Hello Girls, the female telephone operators who served in the U.S. Army during World War I; it notes that the Army took 60 years to recognize them as veterans and that a new plaque was unveiled at the ceremony.

What you will find in the videos and topic pages

The VIDEOS page collects video material. One example from the blog is a Halloween post (10/29/2023) in which Ellouise shares an old favorite ghost story that she found on YouTube — so the video section mixes her own storytelling with clips she recommends.

The topic pages work as subject hubs:

Page What it covers
THE HELLO GIRLS Ellouise's professional storytelling about the WWI telephone operators, including performances from 2013 to 2015 at venues such as the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri
ARLINGTON: My Forever Home Material connected to Arlington National Cemetery, including the post "Arlington National Cemetary: After the Flag"
PUSHING BOUNDARIES A themed collection of stories and posts
FINDING GUS A dedicated story project page

A note on the site's scope

Ellouisestory is a personal storytelling blog, not a news or reference site. Posts range from event recaps and historical subjects to personal essays — for instance, the 3/08/2023 post "A Bit of My History" recalls watching Gloria Steinem speak and describes her black sweater, gaucho pants, silver Navajo belt, and aviator glasses. Expect first-person writing and story-oriented content rather than a formal index.

If you want a specific item, start from the labeled navigation links; if you want to browse, the dated feed is the most reliable path, since every post carries its publication date and comment count.
