thinking of a new look

well, no post today because i was busy tweaking some new templates for my blog.

i went to 3 template sites to fiddle around. boy, it sure took me a long long time to ‘play around’ – choose template, see whether it fit in nicely with my blog, trying to edit and so on and so on. in fact afternoon already spent 2 hours or so looking around, then evening around 10.00am started ‘playing with the templates’ again right until 2.00am (now… when i decided to post about it)!!

first i try go to the wicked template site, recommended by wits0. there are a few templates i like but i notice only 3 that can automatically goes with blogger.com, that is the blog i’m using now. i can use the others but i’m no good at html so not so advisable for me to do so.

then, when olivasyoliviasy switch from iblog to blogger, i notice in her site the link to the elementopia templates (which she used one of the template), so i look around there and found one call ‘shades of blue’ which i like. what do you think? nice isn’t it? plenty of spaces for links (both sides) and centre quite big area for posting. but problem is since it is ‘wide’, people have to scroll to the right to read the links on the right. also i notice the template mention something about some code or what that will made netscape users easier to download the page. huh? i suppose the templates here are specially made for netscape browser? nevertheless i like this one, and just might use it.

then when i googled for ‘blogger template’ i managed to find this noipo site. i downloaded 3 and try them out. i like the last one simply tittle ‘green’ (either than blue, i like green). wanted to use it but i don’t know why with this template the permalink can’t seems to appear. to me permalink is very important, so i guess if this template can’t use the permalink, i’m gonna have to give it up. too bad. would love to have green colour.

finally i decided to settle on ‘the shades of blue’. never mind if right side link can’t be seen completely as links not so important. i like the main area for posting is quite large. i know i can adjust (edit) the size but since i’m not so good at html, it would be quite difficult for me to do so… or i would take a long time doing it! i did try to adjust the size once but still found have to scroll. never mind, i’ll guess i’ll start with whatever i know how to edit first.

well i might be blogging less these days if i’m going to be busy tweaking for my new template. actually i realise i spent too much time blogging (including reading/commenting other people’s blog), that i had neglected to reply many friends’ email. guess i should start allocating time to my friends.
