Undoubtedly you’ve noticed the return of my old template. I’d pat myself on the back if I could, but I really can’t. I tried to learn the new Blogger code, at which I was largely successful. But that was only half the battle, as I had to learn CSS as well, which is even tougher. I also had to deal with the absolutely unforgiving HTML editor. I printed 20 pages of both the old and new templates, trying as hard as I could to merge them together. But in the end, it was too much for me. So I sought help.

I originally turned to Va Va Voom, the one who designed the original template. After several unanswered emails, she replied saying that she doesn’t know the beta code either. Heck, she rarely even posts on her blog anymore. So I sought the help of about half a dozen other coding experts. One, Stephen Weber, replied. And working together, we ended up with what you see before you. Sure, it needs a whole lot of work, and I missed my intended dealine of January 1st (better late than never right?), but it should be complete by the weekend or early next week. Thanks again Stephen.
