Backflip
Well, I gave the new layout a whirl but I was discovering too many problems with the way the margins were working out. My blog is built on a template that I got from Blog Skins, therefore there are lots of little nuances that I have no idea how to edit. I spent the better part of the day tinkering with the layout but in the end just couldn't fix everything to my precise satisfaction.
My next brilliant idea was to take ANOTHER template and edit the shizz out of it so that I could keep the essence of my blog without having to build from scratch. Yeah, that didn't work either. I wanted it to look like this blog, Three 1 Three, but have a hot pink, black and white color scheme. I got close but came to the realization that it just didn't feel like my blog anymore. I think I just wanted it to look more uniform like the other blogs that I read but then, on some level, it wouldn't be my blog anymore.
So in the end, I settled on flipping the whole thing back to the way it was, making a few minor edits and adding a cool sparkly top header (unfortunately for those using Netscape you won't be able to see the cool sparkly header but then again, this blog template never looked right on Netscape anyway). Voila! It's Trent's blog ... only better!
Pink is *so* pimp!
Lest you think that web authoring is all I did today, let me tell you what else I did this evening. Erik came home from work really late. He's been working late a lot these past few days. We decided to go to Amici's in Berkley for gourmet pizza with $3 cosmos supplied by The Living Room next door. We had such a nice dinner together.
Erik was tired so we decided to just come home to chill out. We managed to watch John Edwards give his DNC speech (you can read the text HERE) which was very well executed. Then we watched as the convention delegates cast their votes for the Democratic nominee. Ohio's delegation support gave John Kerry enough votes to make him the official nominee:
He arrives in Boston tomorrow to address the convention and formally accept his party's nomination for President of the United States of America.
Yada Yada Yada!
Anyways, I still think that I'm going to overhaul my entire blog someday but just not yet. I want to make sure that I know what I'm doing, that I do all the work and that it's completely finished before I take down this blog template and put up another.
But none of this is remotely interesting, I'm sure. I'll make sure I spend less time fiddling with html code and more time scouring the Internet for cheap gossip. BTW, Britney was last seen hobbling around with a new leg brace
This news isn't so juicy but you get what you get when I'm preoccupied with other things. Ciao!
