We're There!

Welcome! Do you like the new digs? I know, I’ve been missing for a couple of days. Has it been days? I decided for my 300th post, I would do a few things.

First, I actually got around to re-doing the header. It was an April/May (rain into flowers), and it’s well into June. It’s time that changed, huh? I’m still working on finding a template that I like. You know, one that just shouts “MARY’S PAGE!” without actually shouting it – I wouldn’t want people to fall out of their chairs at work because their speakers were turned up too loud. No one needs to lose their job because of my blog. I don’t want the lawsuit.

Second, I re-arranged some of widgets so that the slower loading ones are on the right, so you can get to reading right away. I’m sorry if you’ve been having trouble. My husband said something about it taking a while to load the other day. I hadn’t noticed.

And third, I’m going to do three lists: 100 things you may or may not know about me. 100 things I’ve learned since I started this blog, and 100 books I’ve read –and enjoyed in my lifetime. I’ve started them, and they are quite the undertaking. I’ll be posting them in the next three days as I finish up the lists. I figure 300 posts, I get three days to do three “100 things” lists, right?

ALL HAIL NOT THE MOMMA!

I know, it's totally lame. But he is the king of code -- and I'm the code geek in the family! You see, he's been helping me with setting up my borders. You may think it's boring and mundane but borders have been the bane of my existence for a few hours now.

Thanks you sweetie!!

P.S. -- This post fulfills my obligations in the thanking department and does not imply consent to any under the cover 'snuggle' time. I'b sthiiiiiick, remember? :) I will however give you a rain check.

P.P.S. And by 'you' I mean Not the Momma. It does not apply to anyone who is reading this blog who is NOT Not the Momma.

Back to WORK!

I'm pretty satisfied with the 3 column look, and have that mostly fixed. If you subscribe in a reader, seriously (I know there are about 5 of you), you should check it out. Mostly because I made a custom graphic for the top that shows April showers blending into May flowers (pictures I took myself), and all that fun stuff. So, pardon my dust... because it might get tacky up in here! ha ha! I'm having fun playing with Photoshop this week! There will be more to come, later!

Thanks!!

I have to thank Ashlee for her little widgety gadget. I stoled it from her. :) Thanks Ashlee!! MUAH!

Now you all know how much you love me -- and how much YOU DON'T YOU LURKERS WHO NEVER LEAVE COMMENTS.

Dear Momma Mary,

The next time you think you're going to do some 'minor' layout changes to your blog, perhaps you should double and triple check your backups. Neglecting Not the Momma and Little Monster because you "BROKE! YOUR! BLOG!" isn't going to make a happy family. Not to mention, you've got a LOT of work to do today to make up for that. Oh, and while we're talking about back-ups -- DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WIDGET BACK UPS.

You have some people to thank for the fact that this is a 3 column layout now. First Thanks to Biz Whiz. That is where you got some of your initial ideas. BUT a BIG, the BIGGEST thanks goes to this post. Without it, you'd be dead -- or rather, your blog would be. THANK YOU Random Bytes!!!!! Then, you have to thank your computer teacher from way back in high school. Because that's when you first started digging into language stuffs. Without that foundation, the blog would still be broken. Oh, and thanks to Colleen for sending you the 'luck' you needed. The blog got fixed right as she commented.

It isn't completely fixed, though. I hope you are aware that the colors are awful, (eveb if they did help you figure out programming labels). Your widgets and whoozits and whatzits are missing and some cannot be recovered.

I know it's all HER fault for having such a FABULOUS page-- well, technically it's her fault for making the site soo purdy. You got jealous, and decided to give your blog a makeover as well.

I hope you've learned your lesson MommaMary! You're knee deep in code, and your page is only *barely* fixed. Adding a column is NOT a minor change. Remember that time you decided to create nested tables on your angelfire site? This was almost worse than that. Remember to check your back-ups, and for HEAVEN'S SAKE.. Don't start this project at 10:30 at night.

love,
yourself

Pardon my dust...

... During Construction. I tried to add a column to the left side of this thing, and it seems I've broken some of my website. I'm sorry. It may be next week before it gets fixed, but I'll find the solution...
