New Look

I looked at the blogs of a few other writers today and I was toying with the idea of updating the look of my blog.

Some of the templates looked interesting and I thought I'd "window shop" for a new design.

I clicked on the design button when I found one that looked interesting. I thought it was in preview mode, but apparently I clicked the wrong button and my old blog template was lost.

I panic'd a little because a lot of the stuff I has on the side, that I really liked, disappeared. Unfortunately the new template had the features, but they were flyouts that remained hidden until you put the cursor over them.

So I spent about an hour finding a template that had a similar look and feel to the old one. I'm not convinced the new design suits me.

I'd hoped to find one that a menu on the top where I could expand my bio, have a page dedicated to my books and other things, but I haven't found one yet that I like.

We had a little birthday party for my great nephew this evening so I taped the Super Bowl so I could watch the commercials. After everyone left, I helped Jilda clean the kitchen and I'd just gotten comfortable when the stadium took a power hit.

I came in the office while officials waited for the power to come back on and wrote most of this entry.
When I went back in, the momentum had swung over to San Francisco. I don't really have a pro team favorite, so I mainly watch for the commercials.

Y'all have a remarkable week, and bear with me until I get the design issues worked out.
