| thoughts from a cunning linguist | |
I've just done the grand tour: clicking on all the sites of all the people who have added me as a link to their blogs. It makes a bush burn with envy to see how fabulous everyone else's sites look. I'm definitely a neophyte when it comes to webpage construction, though thanks to Maurice, I'm learning more and more all the time. (It only took me 6 tries to get that link to the Blarney Stone right the other day--and even then....sigh....it didn't quite work the way I wanted it to.) Blog aesthetics: a girl (am I a "girl"? not usually) can always dream about dressing herself up in a new blog.
Blog drag? I'll have to think about that one.
I have to admit, I'm also curious to know what all the people I'm six degrees of separation from in the blogosphere are saying (if anything) about this war. But, I digress: that's the politics of the blog..... More on that later.
For now, sleeeeeeeeep..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
(and dreams about what it would be like to have a really cool-looking blog......)

You might want to take a look at Blogstyles. It's a site that has MT templates that are really simple to put into place and they look pretty good too. I thought she used to have some templates for free but I think now she charges $15 per template. Here's the link:

Posted by: Maurice on March 25, 2003 01:02 AMJust to clarify: my blog envy doesn't stem from the overall layout. It stems from my complete lack of knowledge about this bloody code stuff. In other words, I'm not really unhappy with how the site appears; I just can't _do_ much with it--like make links effectively, refer to other entries I've written etc. I'm just in awe of all you guys for whom those kinds of things are so easy. Mine is not a problem of template, just a problem of ignorance!
