My journey to bring my professional life into the current millennium continues. I don't know anyone here. I'm completely out of my comfort zone. But I can finally afford to take a class at Temple! I'm playing with my theme today while I learn, so you'll be seeing weirdness here today. Well, more weirdness than usual ...
New blog theme!
I fall into this pattern all the time. I do a blog design in Photoshop, start fleshing out the framework, get lost down a thousand rabbit holes & stop updating the blog because I hate how it looks.
