I love it when people look at my site and say, “Oh, you must know a lot more about code than I do!  Look at all of the customization you’ve done!” because this leads me to believe that I’ve fooled them. 

I really know nothing.  Seriously. 

I can fake code, if I’ve seen it used somewhere and can piece together that this particular thirty lines of special characters makes a smiley face.  But if I’m really on my own, I suck arse.

So I apologize to my Safari readers.  I installed a static Flickr badge yesterday (because the HTML version only showed pictures of toile, and damn, that’s so boring), which I initially wanted displayed under my banner graphic, just like Steve has. (Admittedly, I want to be like Steve.) But I couldn’t get it to line up right, no matter where I stuck that damn code, so I gave up and stuck it in my sidebar.  My sidebar is where I stick everything, because it somehow seems easier to maneuver. (Remember when blogging was drag-and-drop easy?  Why did we move away from that?)

I finally thought I had it where it needed to be (although I wasn’t really pleased with it.. I just had stopped caring), and I went home to check my site on Safari.  OHMYGOD.  I gasped, because it was so out of place.  And then I refreshed, like, eighteen times because it’s NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLASTERED THERE.

I’m getting to the point now where I may start browsing new themes altogether, because I just don’t understand how badly I’ve screwed this page up.  And maybe it’s time for a change.  Maybe it’s time to have rattles and baby blocks everywhere.

Ugh.  Maybe not.

Edit: I found a new theme that calls to me.  Everyone say a silent prayer while I update WordPress AND install a new theme. .. AFTER lunch.
