The Erin Element


This is cool. My blog has an easier-on-the-eyes feel. Links I've been itching to display now reside in the sidebar. The template I chose has become individualized. Best of all, I can delve into spaces existing on Blogger for users who understand a bit of html-speak.

It's all thanks to Erin, a friend of my daughter and our family who designs web sites and has a snazzy one of her own. Check it out here.

Earlier today I entered Erin's world, seated with her before her computer screen, receiving much-needed tutelage. Ever patient, she described the meaning of curious little symbols, left notes for me that won't confuse browsers but will de-mystify my future undertakings (we hope) and kindly asked, whenever my eyes began to glaze, "Am I going a little fast for you?"

If I had more energy right now I would create five new posts and add several links to the spot over there on the side. But it's enough to know my hobby is displayed in a shinier case. Thanks, Erin. Happy conquering the world.

Improving one's blog, personalizing it, is fun, huh?

I hired someone this past week to do mine, as I'm hopeless in the html dept. Or the design one for that matter.

Don't forget to post pictures of Oregon. :)

If you learn the few bits I did, html ought to be less angrivating. ;)

Thanks for this post, Deanna! I had great fun with our lesson. I can tell you learned a lot from it... but I think that was largely due to the fact that you were a great student. :D

(P.S. I linked to this post in my latest blog entry--I hope it gives you a boost in traffic. :))

Oh my, this is precious. Deanna, hats off to you for taking on the tech-ier side of your writing habit. I can't help but comment that you picked a great teacher and have made astute comments regarding the personality that matches her red hair as well.

I like your new arrangement and look forward to noticing your "enhancements". !!!
