Don’t mind me. I am soooo sick of that random calendar that shows up at the top of the template. If anyone uses that calendar – I am truly sorry but I got rid of it. I also put up a Flickr banner – and I am extremely excited about my newly discovered HTML coding skills. I was able to “hide” certain elements I don’t want to see – rather than delete them altogether. I “hid” the Recent Entries section – because I am honestly not sure how you people who read me get around my site. Do you ever check that “Recent Entries” section? Or do you just scroll down the main page? I don’t know – I never look at the “Recent Entries” thing on other people’s blogs – so I nixed it. Let me know if you are one of those people who relies on that to get around my site and I’ll put it back in. Let’s see what else. Oh, I pushed the Monthly Archives all the way down – I need to figure out a way to deal with those archives so that they are more easily searchable, and CLEANER. Like – I would like it to have only a list of the titles in each month, with a link to each post. So that when you open December 2005, you are not confronted with the entirety of each post. Same thing with the category archives. Like it would be great if, when you opened up my Daily Book Excerpt category – which is enormous – ENORMOUS – you only saw the titles, with a link to each post. It would be so much easier for folks to navigate. Any ideas? Pioneer Woman just re-did her archives and they are MUCH better. (This is what I am talking about<\/a> and what I want.) I’m a writer. I want my titles to be on display – in an easy manner – so that people who get to me, for various reasons, can find what they like quicker. I also got rid of wee Sheila reading poetry and peppered the sidebar with photographs of myself as that heartless Gibson Girl character<\/a> I became one wintry afternoon, all by myself in my apartment. I was going to go with the Peter Gatien’s bitter assistant photos<\/a> – because they still make me laugh – and the comments section of that particular post is hysterical!! People believe I am truly that person and get all angry and uppity – it’s awesome!) but I figured I would keep it with the Gibson Girl theme. I have a birthday coming up and something about that little Sheila’s face, reading The Golden Book of Poetry, in a “casual” pose (yeah, right. Where’s the camera and my key light, please?) has been haunting me. I don’t know. Just don’t feel like looking at her right now. I prefer my Gibson Girl persona in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
