well, i'm still here...

blogger didn't eat me yesterday. i didn't go poof. up in smoke. like i always think can actually happen. instead blogger was actually very kind and patient with me. which made me raise an eyebrow. and then eventually i said thank you.

if any of you are wanting to change your blog, blogger has gotten all crafty and artsy on us. instead of customize, that used to be up in the right hand corner of your blog page, you now have the option of going straight to "design" which a week ago, was found only in "blogger in draft." once you play around with a new designer template, you have complete control in the layout of your design, all your coloring options, like you did before, but now you can size everything you want without playing with html codes.

yippee

there's no longer "layout" on your normal setting, where you used to change your banner and add gadgets. that's "design" too, but it gets you where you want to be.

and

then there's pages. they can be a bit confusing and i'm not even sure i love them, but i'm trying them out for a few days. i kind of miss my right hand column, wondering if my new layout has my photos coming across as too large, but the good thing is that i can add that column back in with two little clicks. because blogger is being nice and patient.

so for all the ugly things i used to call blogger

well today

i'm eating those words

let me know if you change your look

i'd love to come see what you've done with your space
