Bear With Us

September 24, 2006 By: Leslie Category: Technology, Work, Writing

as we get used to our new digs at HostDepartment and our new blog software, WordPress.

I realize our affiliate links are missing, our stats are down and my links are a shambles. I also realize how much I hate this blog design now that I’m seeing it live. So expect all that to change, but most likely not until after Tuesday. Deadlines loom in the writing world.

So comment, let me know any suggestions for a better design, and I’ll see you when I’m done cranking out the corporate word for the corporate pesetas.

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you… I moved my other blog, too. You can find it here. I actually like how that design came out.

I am also working on a series for my American Fiction gig in honor of Banned Books Week. Three of the promised Banned Books Week articles will be posted tonight before bed (psst: for me before bed means around 3 am). Those two blogs should tide you over until I get back!

PS: If anyone can tell me how to make my old blog template that I love so much work in Word Press, which uses a programming language I’ve never played with before and am having to learn as I go, I will buy them a cookie. Maybe even two cookies. Perhaps also a beer.

UPDATED 9/25 TO ADD: The design was driving me so KRAZEE that I just went back to the default theme for now. I’ll work on fixing the craptacular design later this week, for now, please forgive me for cheating and using the default theme. Hey, at least you can read it now…

    I agree. I agree so much I turned off the craptastic design altogether and went default. I'll have to work on it later this week.
  • Hi Leslie,

    I'm glad you recognize that the appearance of your site has been rather diminished. I very much like the previous design and this, as you say, is somewhat lacking.

    As an heads up, the text colour in the comment form appears to be the same as the background colour.

    Good luck on reworking it.
