Grrrrr

I haven't done anything today with my pics. I'm still feeling really crappy. I hate head colds that overstay their welcome.

Being ill makes me feel like complaining, so I'll vent a little about this Blogger template. If the top of this web page is just a big black box with text, then you aren't seeing my designed header. I used the old "Pixel Sandwich" opening page graphic (which is an image of a glowing piece of white bread on a paper plate). Way back when I made my first site, I took some multicolored breakfast cereal (Fruity Kicks, or something like that) and piled it on top of a piece of bread, took a pic, and then did a little Photoshopping. I liked the way it came out, so I decided to make it my web site's official logo. So when I switched to this new site, I wanted to integrate the image in the new design. The Blogger template I chose has the option to embed a graphic in the header. The problem is, it occasionally drops the embedded image, leaving a big black box with Pixel Sandwich floating in the middle. Every time I make a change to the site, such as adding a post, it drops the header image. But it also just spontaneously drops the header image on its own, so I need to check my site throughout the day. Pretty irritating. I may need to consider a new template. The good thing about Blogger is that switching templates is easy, and should keep most of my settings. I may try it tonight (since I ain't got no new pics to show).
