I, um...made a few changes to the blog. It seems to be what I do these days (play in PSP) to keep my mind off of other things. And after a few disturbing emails from the person I was working with on the marketing project, it seemed the wisest thing for me to do versus replying from a personal perspective. Before I knew it, hours had passed. Several versions of my new masthead later, this is what I am happy with. I hope you like it too.
The only thing about getting lost in PaintShop, is that I neglected to get a few things done that needed to be tended to. Like cleaning my house for one. I have the Satellite guy coming tomorrow morning to install, ya know, the satellite stuff and I am supposed to have my entertainment center moved about 3 feet from the wall. Ha! Should be interesting to see what I find back there, since it has been about three years since I rearranged my living room. I will also have DSL this week. No more are the days of my friends and family telling me that they can't through to call me 'cause I am online all the time. Nope..High Speed internet for this girly. With all this upgraded technology, I will actually be saving myself a little bit of money.
So why didn't I do this sooner?

It looks great!
And now I know who to go to get help with my new template. As soon as I'm finished with NaNoWriMo -- or it finishes me, which is more likely! -- expect an email begging for help! :)
Thanks!
And any help you need, that I can provide, consider it done!
What is NaNoWriMo again? Ha...I finished my outline and characters..that is about it. I think I should remove my Participant logo. But that feels too much like giving up. There is about 2.5 weeks left...
The changes look great....but you always do such good stuff.
XXOO
Thanks you guys! But let me know is the background is too much on the eyes. The light background with the dark font seems kind of harsh...
As far as the marketing guy being mean? He says I take things too personal, but if that is the case then he needs to not make personal attacks on my character and level of commitment. I thought that maybe we could get past, past communications, but it would seem not. Too bad...
Looks good, Michelle. If you think the white is too harsh for the lettering, try grabbing some of the grey tones from your picture with the eyedropper tool. Then use the wand to select the white of your lettering, and flood fill just that area with the grey. Or, if you wanted to, you could make your font a little bigger, use the little tool that looks like a dotty square, capture a bunch of the background and flood fill the letters with that. To make it pop out you could do the drop shadow thing (you can also change the color of the shading of the drop shadow. You don't have to stick with the grey if you don't want to). Just some more fun tricks to play with.
Thanks Amy! I will try that, Lord knows I have looked at just about every html background color out there...
And everyone say hello to my Sis in Law ;)
PS. She is my PSP Gooroo...
