I spent the past two days tweaking my CSS, and I still have that incredibly huge header.

I want to move the photo to the upper left, and have the title to the right of the photo. Then 86 the whole “Hi! I’m witchypoo.” blurb. The header is way too big. It’s a bit tricky working with somebody else’s code. Way easier to do your own, because you know what the selectors mean to you. I’m going to upload WordPress to another server for testing purposes. You cannot mess with a live site when you are altering the layout of somebody else’s code.

I cannot emphasize enough, if you are using Internet Explorer 6, find yourself a CSS compliant browser, preferably Firefox. You will love me for that, send me your firstborn, etc. It is that good.

Okay, I see your eyes glazing over. Two things. Just admire my sidebars awhile if you will. I made a new blogroll from images, but haven’t found a way to caption them, so you will have to mouse over to get the blog title.

Second thing: There is a “Deck the Blogs” uncontest over at Memarie Lane so just click the button on my sidebar (the sidebar that does not show up if you are still clinging to the evil IE6) and it will take you right to the un-contest. All you have to do is send her a Christmas type of image, or post it on your blog. I went through all my images on my D drive before I realized I had already posted the perfect one right here. Fabulous prizes for this one!

Alright, enough out of me. You luddites with IE6, bite the bullet and get you some Firefox.

Shameless self-promotion:If I’m the Freakiest Blogger you read, show me some freaking love. Go on, vote for me. You know you wanna.

My site was nominated for Freakiest Blogger!

I made the switch to firefox earlier this year and love it (but I am having an issue with it freezing up right now - when I go to my google reader from the bookmarks) but I love it, anywhoo. I also love the blogroll thing that is going around and keep waiting for someone…uahum…to teach us how to do it…..

Ha! What? I thought I was a nerd, for doing all my blogging on a Blackberry. When Santa brings me my computer, you can be my Goddess of Techie Wisdom.

nan’s last blog post..drat and double-drat. and bah, humbug.

Since you asked: I got the Blackberry so I could keep in touch with my sister and other foreign lovies. Also for work of course! I am now addicted, and blog while standing in line at the bank, sitting at interminable red lights, and waiting on the doorstep of my studio when I have locked myself out. It is the BEST! I am in awe of women who can do everything they do and THEN sit down at a computer. It lives in my pocket, and makes a friendly “bleep” when I have a comment or email. My kids’ emails come here too, and they use the internet search for research. Of course, it is also a valuable professional tool but my favorite thing is having my master grocery list in “memos”! I should be getting a commission from Blackberry…
