You’ll notice that I made a change to the layout of my blog. I had to be different. I’ve been searching and searching for different templates, looking for something different and not like millions of other blogs out there. Of course I have my standards – I like clean, elegant, sophisticated designs with colors I like. None of this trend-of-the-moment stuff or the kind of incoherent design that some eleventeen year old puts up. No, I need something much more indicative of the (im)mature woman that I am. However, as many of you may know, changing over to a completely new template requires a bit of work, especially if you have customized the sidebar up the wazoo. I tried a few, previewing them before deciding whether or not to save the edits or clear the edits. Don’t get me wrong, I do like my template, but like I said, I don’t want to be exactly the same as everyone else. (If anyone has any power to tell blogger to add tons more templates, now would be the time.) After hours of playing, researching, and playing some more, I decided on something simple for now – I swapped the sidebar and main posts to the opposite sides. So now it looks a little different, and I didn’t have to spend hours making sure the sidebar and other content transfers.
I also decided to change my profile picture. I love all things having to do with the road, and this collage fits for now. Eventually, I’ll have a not-so-revealing picture of myself, but that may take some time since I don’t really care for pictures of myself.
I also have one more thing I’d like to change – the actual background of my blog. I have what I want on my computer and my Flickr account, but what I don’t get is where to put it in the code on my template. So if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know!
Now I must get myself some dinner and get to bed. I’ve been playing around too long, plus Officer Friend called and we chatted for an hour (he always calls me when he’s at work – he works in Mayberry) so even though the timestamp shows when I started this post, it’s now 10:45pm. If I want to get up on time tomorrow (see previous post) then I’d better get my ass in gear, get some food in my stomach, and get to bed.
