I started tonight with every intention of writing something of substance. Instead, I got caught-up in trying, and failing to make this blog look somewhat visually appealing. You can be the judge, but please allow me to cast my vote of failure.
I think this looks like shit. While I am willing to take my share of the blame, I'd like to heap some on blogspot as well. Blogger has certainly evolved significantly from its humble beginnings in terms of offering more templates for all of our ramblings. However, I think the customization of templates is still a bit limited.
I've been playing around with this thing for an hour or so know, trying simply to get an image for my title. But I couldn't. You would think it would be easy to had an simple user-generated image to your blog, but you would be wrong. In order to get the above, I had to manipulate the actual HTML code. While I'm sure this is probably an easy thing to do, my HTML coding dates back to the stone age of the web when I was creating "gems" like this. As you can see, I was clueless enough that even archive. org doesn't have it stored. (Fortunately, I was able to get some help to offer this design.) Still, I hate to think I'm that dumb that I can't manipulate the code for this page.
Obviously, I am.
I still hold out hope that I'll be able to get this to something that is moderately visually appealing. But, the jury is out. For now, I just feel a bit like a technological dinosaur and hope I can move past this and actually deliver something worth reading soon.
