Template Tinkering

Muahahaha! I’m back. I was sick but this time I did a very smart thing- I rested, and rested, and rested and now I’m almost all better. Not all the way yet so I’ll keep this post short but almost there. My throat was acting up and I was mighty cranky from lack of sleep but that’s a whole different issue meant for a much longer post.

Speaking of posting, sorry I’ve been away again but this time it’s not entirely my fault. On top of being sick and having to go to work something went wonky on my template. Well, to be precise, a lot of things did. It mostly affected myself and my ability to post but a couple of you avid readers (why on earth do you people read this stuff anyway? ) mentioned a couple of issues.

I was very sad to find that I couldn’t fix my template. *sigh* Any of you who have been to my community website should be able to tell that I’m pretty good with code, good enough for a self taught teenager that I’m not even going to pretend to be modest about it- but the code was too far gone. I’m actually amazed it worked in the first place let alone as long as it did. Oh well.

I don’t really like this template. I was hoping for a two column one that felt just right but after going through 18 downloads, countless web sites, and clicking through pages upon page until my glasses could ease the pain in my eyes-… well, you get the point. I didn’t find what I wanted so I’ll use this one for a bit and see if it grows on me and if it doesn’t you’ll know. I’ll try another one.

I still have all my little icons, awards, and other stuff but for the time being I’m leaving it off just because this template doesn’t handle it well. Hence why I seek a pretty two column one. Some changes you might note is that my family of furry children are all here now. I’m still trying to find a better picture of Bast but she knows that the camera makes beeping noises and runs whenever I turn it on let alone point it at her. I even laid out kitty treats!

Also, I’m going to start doing my ‘muse of the moment’ thing again. For those of you who don’t know what this is take a look at ‘My Seven Muses’ the 2nd post on this blog and then just glance at the first few after it. You’ll get the idea. I’m going to do this again because, well, I’m not entirely certain yet.

So,…

My muse of the moment is: Mowgli. He’s laying in my lap right now as I’m typing this. The laptop and him are literally fighting for space in my lap. The laptop and I struggle to keep balance and get what we’re doing done while Mowgli lays across us both with little effort, oblivious to my constant re-maneuvering of him. This reminds me of the Taoist belief of flow. Mowgli is secretly telling me I need to relax and just be. All things will happen in their own time. He’s much happier than I am at the moment as I try to force some work out of myself. He’s telling me I need to rest and be happy. Nothing can move me from my chosen path when I’m happy. So the muse has spoken, so shall it be.

Goodnight.
