Now I’m all excited

I’m the first to admit that I’m relatively geeky.  It’s all good, though - it’s come in handy on many occasions.  I’m not nearly as talented as my brother Dan at fixing computers, but I’ve been able to bail myself and others out of situations involving lost files, broken email, webpage disasters, missing folders, etc.  And I can’t program much at all but I know enough HTML to have been able to get by with my webpage all these years.  The only problem is, HTML has been mostly replaced by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which I’m completely and totally unfamiliar with.

This has meant that I haven’t wanted to tackle any sort of modifying of my webpage for the last couple of years, as I just posted about yesterday.  But when I found this theme on Wordpress, I immediately saw the potential of it to be just what I had in mind.

So remember, I don’t know anything about CSS.  I managed to do quite a few things on my own but I was still struggling with making some minor changes that I wanted to do to really make the layout “my own”.  I went out on a limb and emailed the creator of the layout, Liane from Rose City Gardens, and what do you do know but she wrote back within a couple of hours and has provided me with so much help that I’ve almost got it where I want it now.  Thank you so much, Liane!

I think the thing I’m most excited about - because I’m a geek like that - is my new little icons.  I’m so proud of them!  It was what really made the layout feel like my own.

I changed the search icon from this: to this: ;

the bullet from this: to this: ;

the date icon from this: to this: ;

the comment icon from this: to this: ;

the edit icon from this: to this: ;

and the submit comment icon from this: to this: .

So - what do you think?  Do you have any suggestions for things I can improve?  Anything you’d like to see added?
