Saturday, March 8, 2008 - Blah blogs and randomness
I figured out why not many ladies read my blog.
It's visually uninteresting.
No pictures, no cute side bars, no fancy buttons.
And it's all my fault!
I've wanted to link to all of my friends and put up buttons when someone like Chickadee was having a party, or whatever like that....
I don't know how to do any of that. Let me rephrase that. Duckygirl showed me, via a phone lesson, how to post pictures on my blog a long time ago, but I can't remember quite how to do it! I'm sorry, I just have a hard time retaining the knowledge of how to do something if I don't do it all the time, or if I talk myself into believing it's hard....pity me!!!!
You remember a few posts ago when I cried out for help from you computer savvy chicks.
Well, I realize that apparently help with designing my blog either costs money or means a move over to Blogspot.
Believe me, I've been contemplating a move. I really have. But I don't know how I feel about that. I already have an account over there, a blog, but I never use it......
I'll tell you the painful truth...
I just don't know how to use my blogspot blog. Period.
And I'm tired of myself for it!!!
At this point, this season in my life, with what I'm going through, I'm so incredibly ready for some big changes, only I don't know what those changes should be.
I'm ready to ramp up my wardrobe! I've thought about changing my hair a tiny bit. I contemplate letting my inner interior undesigner come out......But it all takes money.
And I'm guessing it takes money to have my blog designed to my specs too.
The homiest and most appealing blog I've seen is The Nester. Such appealing colors and it's actually rather relaxing.....not to mention that the girl is absolutely stinkin' amazing as a designer and a home decorator. I'm envious! And she's awakened some slumbering desires in me to "feather my nest", if you will....not only my home but my blog too...
*sigh*
Nothing important or earth shaking tonight, my friends....just a restless nesting instinct, probably party post partum and partly due to ladies like The Nester, who've brought to life dormant dreams and ideas...
You really must go check out The Nester......she's amazing. And funny. And beautiful. And she can wield that glue gun like a six shooter, so watch out!
You can find her on Chickadee's blogroll......or you can google her.
Do it. And you too will be miserable with your current blah walls and windows.....but you'll be inspired!!!
And if I had a more exciting, homey, sassy blog, then more ladies would want to read me......right???

I do enjoy your blog. I think it is a bit sad that we, as people, are so used to seeing exciting, colorful images that we won't take the time to look at something simple. I am oh-so guilty of that! On the flip side, God created a beautiful world, so we know that He enjoys beauty. I'm sorry I can't help you with the computer (not my thing!), but I do enjoy your topics. If you figure out the photo thing, I would like to see some pics. Can't picture the new hairdo or decorating or clothing without seeing the old! :) Thank you for an honest, enjoyable blog!

I can figure out how to do a few 'fun things' at homeschool blogs but after using Blogger for just one post I'm convinced it's a TON easier!!! You really should consider moving over, it's very user friendly over there!

Leanne, I like your blog!
I get tired of the same ol' look on my blog from time to time, as well, so I just try to add some pictures and blinkies or whatever. You can do all that for free, but I do have to admit, it is MUCH easier to do it over at Blogger.
The hardest part for me is that it is so time consuming. I am trying to stay away from the computer for awhile because I have been spending waaaay too much idle time here (read: not doing my God-given work the way that I should)...anyway, sorry about that rabbit trail. :)
By the way, I love the haircut idea! It ALWAYS makes me feel better.
