WOW.
guess what?!
i've changed my blogskin!
from this:
and this:
to the new-fangled beauty you see today!
(unless you're seeing this years later when i've changed the skin yet again and are reading my old posts *why would you?!* for fun)
yet changing it to this* didnt come without
its challenges
but boy,
did i manage to overcome
it with some very
out-of-the-box
thinking!
lemme describe the
problems briefly
PROBLEMS:
1. i wanted to change,
ya know, the basic stuff,
like the header,
the weird, generic stuff
that always comes with a new blogskin..
well.....
things got a little more troublesome
when i decided i wanted to change the
pictures that allowed users to navigate..
i had to find and make my own thumbnails!
however, the stuff to come
will totally blow you mind!
(not kidding)
2. notice the cool sparks in the background?
they did not come easy.
well...got them done!
it was the inspiration for the cool neon
navigation tiles i chose.
3. CRAZY HARD PART: i wanted to add "older posts" and "newer posts"
buttons, which weren't present in the orig. skin
*cue anxiety..*
4. CRAZIEST ONE OF THEM ALL: i wanted to make my posts
the first thing you see
when you come to my humble abode.
before, you would see this little
(and useless) page
telling computer-illiterate
users to navigate the page with those
cute little pictures of mine..
i wanted to delete that...
and MY....was that SO HARD.
no little, nitty, gritty
DETAILS here.
but...i think i might take a course in computer-speak!
NOT.
thus, knowing the tired eyes, headaches, and sore necks
that it took to get this new skin up-and-running (in about 5hrs, no less),
i hearby open
jazyl !!!!
EXPECT A FEW CHANGES HERE AND THERE,
BECAUSE IN MY MIND,
NOTHING IS PERFECT (EXCEPT GOD)
