current tune: far - job's eyes
now that i've turned on the nav bar thingy up on top of my blog, i have this 1998 webring-type fascination with clicking "next blog". except that i miight click 20 times in a row without seeing anyone who customized their template.that weirds me out, since i started using blogger in the beginning _because_ i could customize my template. granted, since my return, i haven't really customized much of anything.
since i've been talking to Ben a lot, and watching him play with his template, i've been itching to fix up my blog differently. So, i've started a test blog. if you want to go over there and watch me make aggregious xhtml/css errors, feel free.
i've been lax about adding Ned to my blog roll, along with post secret, partly because i don't want the list to get too long, and partly because i've been planning a major revision anyway.
ned's mp3 blog is a good place to find music. not that i agree with all of it, but in general i respect his taste. post secret is a really cool project that will someday make its way into print form. it's interesting alternating between feeling like you're not alone, and feeling horribly sad for the people who wrote the postcards. and sometimes, just horrified.

I’m interested to see exactly how you code your test blog. I’ll be watching from my “view page source.” Are you keeping it with blogger and basically just writing your own template?
yeah, i like that blogger is completely based on their servers, so it doesn’ matter whether your host has perl or PHP5 or whathaveyou. jenn (my blogroll) switched to wordpress, which is nice, but i don’t really want to try to port all my enries again.
to explain further:
no, i’m not really using their template. i learned html back in college when tables and frames where the order of the day, and layers were weird and new. i still distrust layers.
so i’m basically starting from scratch except for the blogger specific content tags. i’m just copying those in and modifying them.
