Resistance if Futile

Blogger introduced the new and improved blogging experience over a year ago. The improved templates, the easy "gadgets", the drag and drops... I've said it once, but it's worth saying again...those people at Google got it going on!

BUT! I was resistant to switching over to the new blogger because I had my blog the way I wanted it. Why change it? Why re-learn everything? So, I didn't.

And, because of it, I learned a smidgen of HTML, like being able to update my blog banner, add a cutesy button, etc., but that is about it. HTML is like reading a foreign language and I squeaked by foreign language in high school - just as I was squeaking by in HTML.

So, I sucked it up and upgraded my blogging experience to the new and improved blogger. I was able to add the cutesy little side graphics and I updated some of my icons. I finally got it the way I wanted it after much trial and error.

So, if you are reading this via BLOGLINES or GOOGLE READER you are missing out on my new look! So, pop on over and take a peek.

P.S. And now that I realize how much easier it is to use, I'll probably be futzing around with the graphics A LOT!

P.S. S. And, yes, "futzing" is a word:

futzing

Futzing or "futzing around" is unstructured, playful, often experimental interaction between a human being and a computer, product, or any technology, sometimes but not always with a productive purpose in mind. Futzing can be pure play, learning by trying, or an attempt to achieve breakthrough insights.

Futzing may also be an amateur attempt to fix something that is not quite broken yet. A reader defines it as "the last thing you do with something just before it stops working anymore.")
