Once you're better able to articulate what it is you want, feel, want to see, what bothers you, then you're better able to put that feeling into design. On the one hand, this applies to me: I've got so much balled up I want out that I really don't give a crap what my blog looks like -- it looks a bit tombstone-y to me, and that suits just fine. Something about juxtaposing the simple with the profane language works for me too. I'm not far enough along to have any beautiful metaphors I can use pictorally. On the other hand, I'm an html doofus of the highest order, and I'm amazed I set up a google account correctly, so in the event I do figure out a way to design things a bit neater, I'll probably end up paying someone to do it, or just leaving it as a nice idea.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376651134993450207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-77252237471313565382007-10-07T22:51:00.000-04:002007-10-07T22:51:00.000-04:00when I started blogging in june, I breifly browsed...when I started blogging in june, I breifly browsed through the templates, the dots one was the first one I liked pretty well, I picked it, and haven't really done a thing to it since!painted maypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446625015003854710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-56828136369496354632007-10-07T22:27:00.000-04:002007-10-07T22:27:00.000-04:00That's an interesting question - what kind of name...That's an interesting question - what kind of name? I think I picked the name because when I started the blog I was writing about surviving breast cancer - and being in early sobriety - things that I thought would never pass or never end. I thought it would never get easier. But now I know - everything passes, everything changes - feelings, they go away - the bad ones and the good ones. I feel like my life has always been about waiting - waiting to be happy, waiting for the next thing to happen, waiting and waiting for whatever it was to change so that I could just get on with it. I'm tired of waiting. I want my life to be about living - right now, and being happy right now. No more waiting. Maybe the name is as good as any - I don't know. It was definitely fitting at the time.EmmaLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976963296705941968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-69612655908703740162007-10-07T21:46:00.000-04:002007-10-07T21:46:00.000-04:00Mine is also a boring template but I've tried to j...Mine is also a boring template but I've tried to jazz it up with graphics.

(Yeah, I'm a bit of a control freak.) I didn't want to be forced down a narrow path. The good news is the template is very customizable, but the bad news is you need to be fairly technically sophisticated. I'm on my third blog look/feel rev since Feb. It's getting there but not entirely what I'd like. Biggest complaint, I'd like columns on both sides rather than left or right. I'm liking what you've got going on...Pamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-30149265534765698882007-10-07T20:08:00.000-04:002007-10-07T20:08:00.000-04:00I agree with the others, I love the waters on your...I agree with the others, I love the waters on your template - it is classic and beautiful. <BR/><BR/>My template is, like a lot of others, straight out of blogger.
