Revelations

It’s come to my attention that my current design doesn’t work very well in IE. Which happens to be the most popular browser at the time.

I started this site to keep my design skills sharp as well as to practice writing. Although the writing’s become somewhat prolific, the design has been lazy. For the last few years I’ve been ripping off templates and bending them to what I want. No more. This weekend, I reclaim my site.

I have a really neat design in mind (and in Photoshop) but I think I’m going to have to build it from the ground up. Which is pretty creepy, since I don’t know PHP, the language that WordPress uses. This is the first time I’ve been excited about the site in a long time.

A sneak peek:

EDITED TO ADD: Thanks to my WoW server being down (shakes fist) I started pecking through the CSS book and putting together a sample. It’s plain and oooogly but you can watch the progress here.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
