don’t look over there, look over here

Update: FIXED! It only took a day. Excuse me while I take a victory lap around the block. OUT OF MY WAY, NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN!

So, the site is going through some ch-ch-changes. There were a few things about my basic WordPress template that made me smad. (See: sad and mad.) And I thought, “I’m a clever lady! I met a graphic designer once! I can fix that.”

It turns out I am a fool. A damned fool.

To fix my foolishness, I’m trying to figure out how to write code. (See: monkey learns calculus.)

This could take a minute.

Here’s what happened: I downloaded Thesis.

The good news: There are some new awesome things that I enjoy. For example, hey! look at that treatment for the comments! Isn’t it darling?

The bad news: I can’t figure out how to make those stupid stock photos in the upper-right-hand corner go away. Don’t look at them! Look at me!

Stock photos burn my eyes and ruin everything. I hate them.

So, I think I have to create a custom css to make the site not so plain. (Feel free to jump in at any time to correct me. I could just be making up words)

I’m not sure what it might take to kill those photos. But trust me when I say: I want them dead.

I’m going to do the best I can to fix this mess, but I’ll make you this promise: If I can’t fix this new site stuff in a timely fashion (let’s say five days) I’ll bring back the old format. Which was acceptable and DID NOT have offending stock photos.

Have I mentioned I’m on a lot of cold medicine today?
