design

I seem to have fixed a lot of the things that were driving me batty about this particular theme. With very little work, I might add. I still feel like I need an image in the upper left, but don’t have anything that strikes me as “the one” for use in that size.

Less annoyed with the layout, still unsure. That’s the state of the union.

What has kept me away?

• New job. Very good stuff, trying to get my life into a rhythm. This includes writing, but more on the getting-paid-for-it side. It makes blogging seem like a chore.
• New schedule allows me to actually hang out with Bryan. So I do.
• Wordpress kept updating and my old theme needed to be updated with it. This was a chore. So I have GREATLY simplified my life and gone with something else (Sandbox/Blackbox) that will take less maintenance. I just have to figure out the gallery issue.
• Too many things to blog about have built up!

When I do start writing again, covered topics will include (and likely in this order):

1. My new job.
2. My new life.
3. Seeing both The Swell Season and The Police in concert.
4. House-hunting.
5. Chandler getting sick (and then well) without coffee.

ETA: I should add here that the theme, while I do like it, has a few issues (like not agreeing with my use of unordered lists). It will probably change to another that I’ve found which will require me to edit a few photos. I used an inordinate amount of Photoshop this week, so I will need a 24 hour break from the work.

I don’t really like the new theme. I will probably eventually go back to the old theme. This one breaks too many things I spent so much time creating, my tiny little brain hurts.
