Down To The Wire

22. October 2009 · Filed under: BlahBlahBlog · 4 Comments 

Stress is a bitch.I’m one of those people who tend to smile and tell everyone that everything is going to be alright, even if I’m not sure it will be. I love cheering people up and making them laugh. I don’t like to burden others with my own problems because I don’t want people to worry about me. I keep everything that is bothering me all bottled up until I can’t take it anymore and then I let go for a moment, but just a moment. I usually get up, brush myself off, and keep going.

See, it’s not that I’m afraid of expressing myself, since anyone who knows me knows that I frequently speak my mind. Over the past few years, more often than not, I’ve kept my raw emotions about my own life to myself and only shared them with a few people that I trust. Because of this, I feel like I’ve deprived myself of things in my life because I was afraid of letting go. Why? Well, mostly because my harshest critic is myself. I don’t like people to see me weak.

Theme Mashup

30. May 2009 · Filed under: BlahBlahBlog, Design · Leave a Comment 

So I decided to redo my site. I wanted to stick with a lot of whitespace, but other than that, I couldn’t find a theme I really liked. I liked different elements of themes, but they didn’t all combine into one which is what I wanted. So what is a girl to do? Make a mashup of themes, of course!

I started with the original Arthemia theme, and I stripped everything down so there was lots of whitespace. I removed the top featured areas because, let’s face it, I don’t need them. I did want to keep the category bar on the top, but I hated the search area, so I decided to use The Morning After‘s search and navigation area from their theme and implement it in the header here.  I did like the Arthemia Premium‘s option on the bottom to have randomized posts so I added the scripts from the theme to this theme as well. I also upgraded Arthemia’s comment section to have threaded comments, and I did some other minor touch-ups throughout.

I’m really happy with how everything turned out and I love having all my white space with images and easy navigation. I hope you all love it as much as I do.

;) Cheers!

I’ve Changed My Mind… Again…

06. September 2008 · Filed under: BlahBlahBlog · 2 Comments 

I am going to try a different theme. I know, I know… I’m fickle like that. While I like the new one and all, I miss having my white background. So after I get unpacked fully and this possible hurricane scenario with Ike passes over, I’ll try out a new theme. In the meantime, leave a comment letting me know if you prefer black or white as a background color and why you like it and don’t like the other. Thanks!
