You know what's funny, my coworkers will often ask ME for advice regarding their computers. How do I do this......where does this file go.......which absolutely baffles my mind as I am not a whiz with computers. I'm lucky I know how to turn the bloody things on. It's a sad state of affairs when I'm the computer techy!

Case in point, as I'm sure you've noticed I've decided to try a new template for my lovely blog. It only took me all of ohhhhhh an hour perhaps longer to figure out how to load the fucking thing. There were four steps in the instructions...FOUR and yet it managed to take me quite some time to figure it out. Computers are quite maddening if you ask me and oftentimes I've been tempted to toss mine out the window and not look back.

I chose to trek on this evening and voila it eventually worked in my favour however I am a creature of habit and I'm not sure I love the new layout as all of my items are on the opposite side and where the hell did Sami the Sloth go???

As well what is up with that "search" bar and contact.......and rss feed.....is there any way to remove those items or is it too bad sucka use as is???

Love the new blog template! Changing blogger templates used to be much more difficult than it is now.

I'm not sure how to get rid of the search/RSS thing...

Oh, I just realized that I'm kind of like you. I'm going out for lunch/dinner four times this week. Oy.

Your new template actually made me say "WHOAH" really loud....out loud. It's hilarious because I just finished editing the html on my blog and the changes are so much more simple! Haha....

This template is very bold indeed. I think you're nuts, but I love this side of you.

Christielli, Umm you just made me feel even more stupid LOL if they used to be much more difficult! Ha!

Yrautca, I agree it's much more moi however I do love pink!

Rawbean, am I the only one that finds changing things maddening...clearly I am :)

The new theme is very "Avril Lavigne" and I'll leave that up to you whether or not that's a good thing.

There is probably a way to nix the search and stuff like that, but judging by your own trepidations about computers, I doubt your savvy enough at web-programming to delete the appropriate lines of code.

hahah...I feel your pain! In fact, since we are twins, I ALMOST downloaded this design instead of the one I have. lol
It is irritating though, because it took me a long time to figure out how to get my profile on the sidebar, and it does not link your dashboard, so I have to go to blogger.com to post, etc. Oh well, baby steps, right? haha
Looks great!!

Blogger help has a lot of hits regarding this new template. I've noticed a few others have chosen this. It looks good btw.

Miss Ash said...

WIGSF, Ummmmm I'm thinking it's NOT a good thing LOL!

JLee, Of COURSE you were going to download this one....seriously we are like the same person it's eerie!!

Wiwille, yeah I decided I needed something with a bit more edge to it and here it is, and thank you!

Hour or not - nice work Miss Ash. I think it looks very cool around here. You can tweak stuff later, or not, but the heavy lifting is done. Awesome.

Christielli said...

Ooops, sorry... didn't mean to make you feel stupid... it just used to be damned near impossible in the old days! It boggled my mind how anyone could do it!
