Never Thought I'd See The Day...

Lake House, Inside Out

So here I sit, during the MOST beautiful of seasons, working my tail off and not shedding an ounce or a drop of sweat. Confined, by choice, to a dark room with light coming only from tiny slats in the blinds, a desk lamp and this monster monitor and it's smaller and older sidekick just to the left and behind. Dual keyboards and mice strive to confuse the issue (hell and damnation, what's wrong with this stupid computer now???? oh... wrong keyboard... sorry...)

But... BUT!!! I'm winning! I'm gonna beat this game of switching from PC to Mac (there are signs, but the challenge is hardly over.) See... this process involves not only (slowly) learning the minor differences in the two computers, but the fact that I'm a digital pack rat who has been hobbling along with very old programs that must be cleaned out and upgraded to the streamlined and modern which will carry me ever forward into my golden years with pristine ease and supreme organization. Well... that's the plan.

That means... a new web site. You've no idea what a big deal this is. I'm biting the bullet and getting it done. The very big change will be the look. I've always detested (hated) black backgrounds, have never been comfortable with the idea that gray makes colors pop (I know, I know...) but the template (hahahahah... me... using a template!!!!) options (how else am I going to deal with css?) pointed to this one. I'll show a screen shot later, I'm not unhappy with it but it sure is a different look for me and mine. Fortunately, I can change templates as often as I like with Sandvox, (still in try-out mode) but my usual minimalist white option is too bland and I can't figure out (yet) how to do what I need to do to add a bit of zing. So I may be switching my look during the first few months out. But not ready to upload yet... will let you know, of course, and you mac people let me know if there are better web editing program options I should try.
