Clap On, Clap Off

>> Sunday, October 5, 2008


In case any of you haven't noticed, I have a new blog template. And I created it all by myself.



The end
.






Okay, maybe I had some help. Okay, maybe somebody else did all the work. Okay, maybe that somebody was Amy.


Here's how it went down:


I gave her NOTHING to work with.........


I didn't know what I wanted, just that I wanted different. I finally settled on some colors and she went to work.



It was like magic:


try an orange background - refresh - done


try a blue background - refresh - done


more flowers / less flowers / this font / that font - done, done, done.



Clap On. Clap Off
.



It was fast, fun, and free! : )



She is making me do the 'easy' stuff - adding back some gadgets and lists, but of course I do not work as fast as she does, even when it is for myself. I'm getting there, though.



So, do I love the internets or what? I start a meme with no 'button', and Muddy creates the perfect graphic. I have a blog with no style or features I like, and Amy creates, out of thin air, a colorful template with all the bells and whistles I need.



What else have ya'll got for me??


P.S.
Mary is also getting a custom blog-makeover. Keep checking for her debut!

EDITED TO ADD:  THANK YOU, AMY!!!!, BTW!!!

Great new look!

But at about the point where you wrote "clap on/clap off" on your post, the lines are all overlapping each other and are unreadable. I'm using Firefox.

Thanks Lorri! I'm thinking blogger is temporarily crazy; the post looks fine on my computer (Windows / Internet Explorer), but on my daughter's Apple (Safari) it only looks normal for a couple of lines then goes wacko bizarre huge overlapping.....

if it doesn't correct itself, I'll get my 'programmer' on it! : )

Okay, it's just Firefox for some reason. That's what Mary was using on the Apple; in Safari some of the font got bigger, but it was perfectly readable....

Your blog looks good from here...
Nice work!
I just got your message about buying a bottle necklace. I am so excited that you like them. I am getting ready for school now, but will be in touch with your sometime after 4:00.
Thank you, Natalie

I'm on Safari and it's odd for me. Hmmm...I have no idea why, though. I didn't change the fonts or size of the fonts.

This will take some thinking on my part....

I love the new look, and what great colors.

Love the new look! The post didn't mess up for me.... Looks mighty fine.

I'm anxious to see Mary's, too!

Very nice look! Looks good in FireFox. You can see how your site looks in many different browsers: http://browsershots.org
