No Title Today
I’m still frustrated with trying to edit my code. My biggest thing is being able to change the background. I figured out how to change the colors of my header, footer, profile box, post boxes, etc. But the main thing is that when I try to change the background, the round corners don’t show up correctly - the corners still have the old color. So something in the code needs to be done to show the rounded corners in the new color, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what it is. Can anyone help?
As for other blogger templates/hacks/widgets/add-ons etc, I am bored with the stuff I have found already. I have some idea of what I want to do, but every time I try to search either through a regular web search or by check out other people’s blogs, I keep coming up with the same stuff. I’ve even dug 10 or more pages into google and I’m not finding anything new. I want cool new toys for my blog and I want to be able to do the things I want. Some of it is just knowledge (see above paragraph) and the other part is my impatience with limited options. I want LIMITLESS options for cool stuff to do to my blog because I’m still infatuated with this blogging stuff and I’m hungry for more.
Turns out I will have Labor Day off. With 2 jobs, one can never count on getting time off, especially in retail. But we actually have staff now, and besides wanting to give me a day off, the rationale is that I cost more on holidays since I am eligible for holiday overtime and the new people are not. I need the money, but I also will appreciate a day off. Maybe I’ll get something done around the house since on work days I tend to spend all my spare time blogging.
I went for a massage tonite. This wasn’t a massage in the traditional sense, it was a super fancy version of those massage chairs you see in the mall. See, I got a call at work last week from a salesperson, which I usually hate because I don’t have time for that kind of crap. But before I could hang up, I heard the words “free massage.” Ok, now you got my attention. I signed up, and was promised a month of free massages if I went. So I did. Turns out the month of free massages is a huge sales pitch to get you hooked on the massage bed. It’s pretty nice, a bit better than those ones in the mall because it actually senses your body size and weight and adjusts itself accordingly, and there are a number of settings for different programs. I have a card that lets the staff mark off when I’ve been, and I can go whenver I want for the next month, every day if I want. No way am I gonna buy one of these things since they cost as much as a used car, but for the next month I’ll enjoy my free massages.
Well I’ve spent far too much time on the computer here, as usual. Time to eat dinner, and I’ll attempt to get to bed before midnight tonite. One can only hope.
