Struggling with the Layout
For someone who was going to be all creative, I proved utterly inadequate at creating this blog. First I couldn't find a template I liked, and when this nice tablecloth design finally came my way - thanks to Aman @ Blogger Templates - I spent more time cursing than actually editing the code to fit my needs. I suppose I feel towards computers as many people do towards hot dinners; they're supposed to be quick and easy while at the same time making me appear wonderfully talented before the envious eyes of my peers. Unfortunately, I had to learn today that, with very few exceptions, fast food-like computing very much resembles its edible kin. It is dull, tasteless and an utter waste of time. If you want to create something unique - in the kitchen or on the PC - you have to make an effort, be prepared to work and not give up at the first sign of trouble. This was my lesson for today. If you want to have a nice table, learn to set it! (And with this wisdom in mind, I retire to the kitchen!)Christine at 8:49 pm
