A Blog-tastrophe

Uh-oh. Danger Will Robbins!!!!! We've suffered a huge blog-tastrophe!!!!

Clearly, I got too big for my britches. I've been coveting thy neighbor's blog's pretty background layouts. While playing around, I found a site that I thought would enable me to put a custom background to the blog. Unfortunately, when I added "THE CODE", it deleted many of the bells and whistles that I had originally added to the sidebar. I'm now stuck going back and adding them again...and trying to figure out how I did it! Crap.

So, here's the new blogger tip of the day: Don't change your blog's template, or you'll lose everything you added to the side-bar. Live and learn.

Exploring the Kinky Side of the Blog

Here's an interesting phenomenon, when I post from Picasa with a picture, I can put spaces between my paragraphs. When I post directly from the blogger, no spaces appear no matter what I try. That's why I used those odd colors in the post below. So, lets see if it happens again. If so, I'll need some technical advice on how to get the kink out.

Of course, I recognize that this could be a sign that I should always post a pic of my sweet T when I post to the blog... which I'm more than willing to do. Unfortunately, T sometimes doesn't cooperate with the whole camera thing and often makes idiotic faces just to screw up my picture and annoy her mother.

Also, I have a second kinky issue regarding the little section that says labels and comments after the post....how do I make that font smaller? There doesn't appear to be a separate font option to change that section. I don't like it so big. If the answers to these questions are particularly longwinded, please email me at carann65@aol.com. I'll be sure to give you appropriate kudos on the site if your solution works! What's annoying is that I suspect I could ask any 12 year old, and they'd immediately know the answers to all my kink questions. "Like, Duh!" Hell, I should have just asked T. As you can see, she's quite adept at the computer.

Update: Now look what happened! There are spaces between my paragraphs! Man, I think this blog is mocking me and otherwise screwing with me in general. I can't tell you how long I worked on the colorful post below, attempting to put damn spaces in it, to no avail. Can't figure out what I did wrong.

Working out the kinks

Well, I'm glad you all have found the new site, despite my leading many of you astray with a bogus address! A big thanks to my friend Lori from FCC So.Fla. who has eagle eyes... she quickly spotted that I screwed up my own new website address in an invitation I sent out to subscribers of my old site.

I'm slowly getting the hang of this new blog stuff, but its much harder than my old babyjellybean site. It actually involves using real "computer code". Yikes! Am I showing my age too much if I admit that the last time I "wrote code" was in college using those stupid cards and Cobol? Hopefully, I'll work out the kinks soon. However, you may see some strange posts on here from time to time, as I play with the different options.

Meanwhile, T is getting sick. She's had a cough that won't go away for weeks now. We're taking her to the doc again for the cough on Thursday, as I'm not satisfied with the doc's opinion of a few weeks ago that nothing is wrong. I figure if nothing is wrong, the dumb cough would go away! It hasn't, therefore, the doc better figure out what's up. Hopefully, it won't be anything too bad.
