Fiddling around in the Dark

I really need a life. I have spent my entire evening deleting and replacing elements of my template html to see what things do. I was tired of my blog looking like your standard Blogger 1 of 10, but I'm not satisfied yet.

I got rid of the Christmas balls in the header, but I can't figure out how to get a header I like better. All of the pre-fab ones I've found aren't wide enough. I don't have Photoshop, in which I understand you can easily make your own header, and I'm not willing to buy one. So this is what we have for the moment.

I can't figure out how to make the hunter green go away. So, we're stuck with that for now too. I kinda like the mayhem.

I am such a freaking dork.

As much as I claim I need a life, I quite enjoyed myself this evening. This has been fun. I don't know what I've learned except that I'm not nearly as afraid to FUBAR my blog as I thought I was. I took huge risks tonight. You can't imagine. When I say I had NO idea what I was doing...I mean NO idea.

I even created an account on del.icio.us. Can I tell you have haven't the foggiest idea what that is. I thought it would give me free blog headers since I got to it via my google search for "headers blogger". Maybe someone can explain it to me. And while you're at it, tell me about technorati. I signed up for that to, but my little button never appeared and I've actually forgotten all about it until this moment.

I think this is my learning style: fiddling around in the dark until I find the light switch.
