Pulling My Hair Out
A couple of weeks ago I had a problem publishing to my blog. Problem as in it would not publish after trying every so often for THREE HOURS! So I thought I’d give Wordpress a try. And plus I like how they handle comments, in that you’re able to edit them and also that you get people’s email addresses instead of having to search high and low for them. However it’s sort of frustrating trying to get my blog over looking the way I want it to look. Like pull my hair out kind of frustrating.
I’m just blundering around not really knowing what I’m doing. See what I’m talking about. For example: I don’t know how to get my background color, that yellowish color, in back. But I guess I don’t really need that. No big deal. And how do I get my archives to display my old header? I sort of like how when I go back I can see my blog the way it was at that time. Is that even possible with Wordpress? That’s something I can live without…I guess. But one thing that is driving me absolutely batty right now is the comment form. WHY IS IT SO DAMN BIG?? I tried playing around with my style file but it’s not in there. Maybe it’s in the comment file. Has anyone made the change over and if you have which one did you like better, Blogger or Wordpress? Keeping in mind that I really like customizing the way my blog looks.
Well at least Isabelle is always a cute distraction. She was eating and had food in not just one hand but two!!

There are things I like about both but I’ve found Wordpress a little more challenging to customize, mostly because I’ve been resistant to learning CSS. What’s wrong with good ol’ HTML?
I do, however, prefer a lot of the other features of Wordpress over Blogger. Namely, blog stats, traffic and comment info.
I think Typepad is supposed to be the ultimate in customization blah blah blah blogcakes. However, I (personally) am too cheap to pay for monthly blogging (especially when I am already paying for two web hosting plans).

You inspired me! I changed up my blog! It’s not near as cute as yours but it’s better.

You mean to tell me that Wordpress doesn’t allow any customization? No more cute little sheep? Damn!

I have been trying to figure out wordpress…but it isn’t working. So, I am sticking with blogger for now. Maybe someday…but I like customizing also.
