Taa-dah! Temporary New Look

April 14, 2009 By: Rebeca Category: Housekeeping

After having a near nervous breakdown last night about changing the look of the site and screwing it up, this morning I found a similar template that temporarily serves my purposes. However, I still have issues with Blogger. 

After complaining about it to the husband and explaining what I wanted, he said he would pay for one year’s hosting so I can have a professional looking site with WordPress. This is my birthday present. I know, he got off cheap. But if I hadn’t asked for that I probably would have gotten a book or two or a new pair of yoga pants.

 In any case, I’ve reached a point that surviving another year in relatively good health, having food on the table, a roof over my head, and of course reading a great book, makes me happy. I really don’t want much. Well, a new pair of yoga pants would be nice.

When to Leave Good Enough Alone

April 14, 2009 By: Rebeca Category: Housekeeping

This is a warning for those who have a nice looking site, but are bored with the look. DON’T CHANGE IT at least not in Blogger.

It does look pretty, BUT, the margins are all screwed up and I don’t know how to fix them. My widgets won’t load properly and I’m getting place markers. I can’t change the fonts or the colors and slew of other problems.

So for the next few day, you’ll be seeing my technical difficulties. I will continue to post reviews and try to fix these problems. If I can’t then so long Blogger, hello WordPress.
