html programmer i ain't When I first saw the Blogger template I am currently using, I thought it looked pretty cool. It's got a nice little star, some pretty colors, all that crap. But then I started reading other Blogger blogs, and I realized something disturbing. There were about 10,000 other blogs out there that also had nice little stars and pretty colors. And that's cool with me, the more people with pretty colors and nice little stars, the better. But they were the same pretty colors I had. And the same star. They even all said "897" on them. Can't I at least have a different number? Like 894? Or 899? This just can't be. It goes up there with the realization that there are other web sites called "mindless drivel." Really, I had no idea that I was dooming my site to be forever called "mindless drivel." I was just fiddling around with Blogger and it was the only thing I could think of at the time. And now the name has stuck. It's out there. It on Google and Yahoo! and soon even The Weblog Review, where I'm told I am destined to get a glowing review! It's in the TTLB Ecosystem, where I am currently an "Insignificant Microbe." Ain't that an ego boost! But I digress.

The bottom line is that I would like to change the colors/fonts/whatever on this site, and tinker a bit with the design, but I can't seem to figure out how. I don't really want to choose another template and go through the same thing in another month. And the "Blogger Help" has not exactly lived up to its name. If anyone has any grand ideas, let me have 'em. Otherwise I'll keep trying to experiment with some things myself. And if you come back and things are much, much different, don't get scared. The mindless drivel within will still remain.
