Finishing Thing 24

Alright, I finally found a template that I like (mostly). It bothers me that there are gold flecks in my avatars face, but as you scroll down they go away - it's something I can live with. I was also able to replace all of my widgets that disappeared when I was playing around with how things looked.

gah!!!

This is frustrating! I tried to switch the template of my blog, but then it erased all the widgets I had from last time, including my avatar, my librarything, etc.

grr

Thing 24: Refreshing your blog

I've been lazy since we finished the first round of 23 things; I haven't blogged at all. That's a lie - I did set up another blog with some people at work, but we failed at updating that one as well. Part of my problem is that I don't have anything interesting to say, so people won't read it. And if people aren't reading it, what's the point?

When I logged into my blog (for the first time in a long time) the template that I had before no longer worked. I'd been using one that I found through Pyzam and my guess is that it just became inactive or something. There were a couple other people who were using similar templates and there's didn't work anymore either. I picked one of the templates that Blogger had, but they were all boring, so I'm pretty sure I'll be spending some time looking through some fun sites to find a more interesting background.

I looked through some of the new Gadgets Blogger has added and most were ho-hum, except for the RSS feed!! That is an awesome update! This well make it much easier for people to keep track of when other people have updated their blogs. It'll make communication a lot easier.

I liked the way my avatar looked and I had the ultimate perfect background for it, so all I did was change my outfit. I'd played around with the Yahoo avatars a bit during the first round, so I was going to use one of the other sites, but none of them really caught my eye and you would've had to register with a new password. Since I already had one I could play with - I just stuck with what I knew.
