For The Love of The Blog

I'm frustrated. Again.

I've been working on my new website. I finally installed wordpress on it, and I installed a template. I was talking to my friend Bobbie yesterday and she asked why I didn't put the duckie template that was made for me on there. I told her I was trying to learn how to edit them myself, and I was editing a different one so I didn't mess up my duckie one.

Today, I gave up. I wanted my duckie one on there. So I go into my Blogger blog that has the duckies on it (this one, obviously) and try to figure out how to get it so I can install it on my new blog. And I have no idea.

I tried to email Lizz to see if she would email me the file I need to install it. Easy, right? Smart, right? Go directly to the source, right? No. My emails keep coming back to me. (I'm beginning to wonder if she has me blocked. . . but I'm too frustrated to worry about that right now.) So I try IMing Misti, because she is living with them still. And she doesn't answer either.


So, now what? How do I get this template, the adorable duckie one behind these very words, and get it on my new blog? How how how?

Great Day

Today has been a really good day. Selo and I slept in, and then laid around in bed for a while after we woke up. We talked and snuggled and spent some time just being together. Once we got up, we went to the store and picked up his meds and a few groceries. Came home, had some lunch, and then curled up on the couch together and watched Pixar Short Films. So cute! We layed on the couch and I fell asleep. Woke up and he was playing Pixel Junk. Love that game. After my little nap, I got up and got on Selo's pc to work on some coding. Just like before, the more I do it the more I love it. I followed a tutorial, and started designing what I want my new blog to look like. No details about it, but I am excited. I made the basics of the page. It looks great! I even started putting the info in my HTML blog again. It's all about what I am learning and the progress. Helps me out a lot to write about it. Now that I have decided who I am going to host with, I need to know what to do to get it done. Selo actually got in game today. He is in right now. It's been six or eight weeks since he has actually played. He got in for one night about a month ago, and that's it. It is nice to see him back in game, and talking with his friends.

It's been a good day. Relaxing and productive. How's that? lol

Hope everyone else out there is having a good weekend as well. Have a great Sunday!

Learning The Language

OMGosh it's early. I should be sleeping right now. But, alas, I got a headache while I was sleeping, and that means no more sleep for me. So I got online.

I'm learning more than I realized about HTML. See the pics and links in my sidebar? I made those. See the table at the bottom to hold the blogging networks and other pic links? I made those too. Obviously, I haven't got it all figured out, because I can't get that fourth network to show up no matter how many times I try. But I did exactly what I wanted on the rest, so I can't be too far behind.

I still can't read the code. I can look at it, and pick and pull pieces until I figure something out, but I am nowhere near just looking at it and knowing what it is.

I'm also still learning what I can do with HTML. I am realizing that anything I want to do I can do, it's just a matter of figuring out how.

I'm enjoying it. I like knowing that I can control the code and I can do what I want. I can make my site look how I want it to. This is something I definitely want to stick with and get down really well.

Now, I'm going to roll over and try to go back to sleep. Rather than helping, my headache is getting worse. And we have lots to do today!

3 Months

We have been married for three months today And for our anniversary, we got a PS3. Hahaha got you excited didn't it? Well we didn't buy it (yeah, like we could afford THAT right now), we rented it. It's pretty cheap to rent it, and Selo even talked the guy into letting us have it for double the time. (Another reason I love my man.) We got it last night, and we have big plans for this weekend. We are going to get a blue ray flick to watch , mess around with my iPod on it, and play with the games that came with it. What a wonderful celebration.

Speaking of anniversaries, I was thinking last night at all the "anniversaries" for Selo and I that I remember. lol We sure have a lot of them. Nov 9, 2001- the day we met. May 1, 2005- the day we began dating. August 8, 2006- the day we moved across the country together. March 7, 2007- our wedding day. My life has been so wonderful with him in it. *happy sigh*

In other news, I am finally learning HTML. It was definitely DreamWeaver that was getting in the way. I have a webpage I made all on my own, and I am starting on my second one today. There is still a lot to learn, but I making awesome progress.

Selo showed me the cutest picture of Katie (his oldest daughter). He has it set as the background on his desktop. OMGosh she is growing up. Lizz (her mom) said she even did her own hair in the photo- it's adorable! I am amazed at how grown up she looks. lol Her parents must be so proud.

Our poor kitty. She's so fat. Her poor belly is so much bigger than the rest of her. I don't know if she can get much bigger without popping. But we have been waiting for her to have the kittens for about two weeks. I obviously don't know much about this, because I am clueless when it comes to kitty pregnancy. It's a good thing SHE knows what she is doing.

I was offered another job last weekend. This one is actually a really good opportunity. Selo and I are talking about it, and we should know by the begining of the week what we will be doing. Selo's job, on the other hand, has us slightly concerned. The company he works for is splitting into three companies. (They do several different things, and they are seperating into different companies to increase the focus and therefore increase the revenue for each.) He has a pretty good position right now, but we are nervous. Simply because companies that split do a lot of lay-offs, and we don't want that to happen to us.

I love piano I really do. I love the lessons, I love my instructor (Ms Anita), I love practicing, and I *love* knowing that I am creating that beautiful music. I have two new piano books, and I am flying through the lessons. It's just such a peaceful feeling.

Okay, I have work today. Two more days on this night shift, and then I am on days. Twenty more work hours. Two more trips to work, and two more trips home. I don't know who is more excited, me or Selo.

Have a wonderful day, and a wonderful night. I am going to get the house ready for Selo and I to play tonight, and then I am off to work. /wave

HTML test

I'm still learning HTML and I needed somewhere to practice writing a code. You can ignore this post. It exists for the sole purpose of helping me know when the code I am writing is working or not. Thank you.
