woop!
hey, im done! that didn't take nearly as long as i thought it would. the drop-down menus are a little messy and hard to figure out, but hell, if you cant gather that the plus brings them down and the dash takes them back up you have issues. lol, eventually ill find something to fill the last three boxes :-P

Anyway, today I literally did nothing. well, I ate and finished this endeavor, plus watched some funny videos on ebaums world. other than that, nadda. harry potter comes out tonight; im gonna have to look back on that fifth-grade version of myself and get my parents to buy it ;-)

And here's the tribute to teal...
bleh. as of now, the official blog is displaying the posts from my test blog. boo! i thought i had changed everything, but apparently not, so its back to hunting around for it.

okay, so its starting sloooowly...
I really am sorry about the boring template. But hey, did anybody notice that there aren't any ads?

*face lights up*

straight from my wildest dreams. anyway, when i got up this morning i was delighted to find that it was only 11- i actually expected it to be around 1. yeah, so i got up and read some of things fall apart, then was tempted by the new free angelfire blog builder... obviously, i liked. so it began!

time for a shower. then, just maybe, i'll work on a pretty template.

eventually, maybe ill work up to a matching website. aah, the beauty of angelfire! its all one account and webshell.

And so it begins...
Yes, ladies and gentleman, it's true: I believe I'm abandoning blogger. This angelfire thing seems like a good deal- I like the calendar for the archives, and I know how all the angelfire editing works- it has served me well for multiple years. Hey, it's also an easy way to link images. I haven't had a chance to customize yet, but hell, you probably don't have this address yet anyway. At first glance it looks like these templates are pretty unchangeable, but the templates can be edited straight through the webshell, easy as pie :-)

Oh yeah, and you can preview everything before you publish it! ooh, and I think I can use a cgi script I couldn't on blogger to do random backgrounds. hip, hip, hooray!
