Wait a second...

The last post felt like such a cop out, that I figured I'd better do something drastic -- lest I allow the loyal readers of YNCTwB to grow restless for even a second.

So I posted in comment graffiti.

Also I changed my template.

I changed it using the acclaimed method of staring at my template for a good hour, getting up to get a Coke, and then coming back to stare again. Occassionally, if I saw a random group of numbers that didn't make sense to me, I would delete them. I counted that as major progress.

And yet, despite my expert approach, I fear that my new template might possibly be a little buggy. It looks fine to me (but it also happens to be four in the morning, and I'm in the middle of a staring contest with Indy on the cover of my Raiders LP -- meaning I might not be the best of judges right now).

Mostly, I'm worried about the header. It should be moderately sized, with a yellowish color on the left half and an image on the right (ideally with just a hint of a balloon in the upper right half).

If you're looking at some bizarro page right now, let me know. (And if so, I appologize and will make every effort to un-delete the critical numbers.)

And last of all, it would be blasphemous for YNCTwB to have a landmark post without inviting the man.

Also I ditched the subtitle "and other laymen philosophies" because nobody -- including myself -- knew what the heck it meant anyway.

I've missed the man.

He's bookmarked on all my computers, but somehow it isn't the same without the link.

Ha! I was going to post a comment graffito the other day, but I was too lazy to enter that stupid validation word.

I really like the updated blog -look. Very...whimsical without being sappy...I think. Anyway, "A" for all the effort!Question. Why'd you move the text from right to left? I like it, but interested. Also, is it Puppy or Buddy?

The text moved right to left, because I started from scratch with a whole new template (it's Jill's actually).

I liked hers because the columns and header are fixed rather than flexible, meaning that the text and images won't change depending on the window size -- only the "dead space" in the margins.

My old template wouldn't do that, and consequently, it was a major pain to do picture posts -- plus it would've been more difficult to put the new image in the header.

And finally, Day one: "Buddy."

Now (and most likely the rest of his little fuzzy life): "Puppy."

So, uh, did you arrange your "good places" to form that nice arc?

Or is it really late and I should be in bed?
