Well, I'm Back at Blogger

I wake up Wednesday morning to an email from my webhost saying my site was hacked and they had to suspend my domain. Like anyone wants to wake up to that. I panic, naturally, check my sites and they're all there. It turns out it wasn't a malicious personal hacking, but a spammer who somehow...somehow...aw crap it's 9:30 pm and I've been doing nothing all day but looking at CODE so it's like I'm suffering a small stroke when I'm trying to think of the word...exploited? is that it? exploited? some vulnerabilities in a Greymatter comment script. So to make a long story short, I decided to take down Greymatter (are we having fun yet? Like I haven't spent too many days within four short months analing over my own site, not to mention setting up a cactus blog for Stan that he hasn't even had time to use yet before I had to redo the entire damn thing in Blogger!

I. Need. A. Break.

I really hate code, and for some reason certain things with these Blogger templates aren't working for me, so I'm having to do it my way. Like that automatic profile thing up in the right corner didn't look right, heck, it looked AWFUL, so I just had to cut and paste the link instead. I did have fun with the question they gave me, ironically, it had to do with band names, which I guess is right up my alley.

Welcome back! I hate the blogger code! I have spent hours agonizing over it everytime I try to use a new template. In the help section, there are some neato hacks.

Later!

Thanks Dawn!

I think as of late, all blogging scripts are simply hair pulling. When I first started back with blogger back in 2000, it was all pretty easy to add the code. Now that I've returned, they've added so much more to it and it just twists my brain and panties up in knots.

I mean blogger is great for those who just want a fast blog and don't really care about design, and if you're a code geek, then there's a plethora of journalling scripts for you, but for those of us who hate coding but love creating our own designs, it's very frustrating.

omg.... i must be a code geek!
say it isn't so! and there's an easier way to do it?
::::banging head against wall::::
I swear, i have tried to create my wn design, and end up blank as how to apply it. I am creative, but damn....blank again. Oh wait...it's because i work for the govt! that't it, my brain is wasting away with tax payer dollars.
ok...now i am going to have to learn to do it the e-a-s-y way

Hey Lori!

I love creating my own designs, it's just trying to get it to work with the blogger code that baffles me. I guess I did it right because it works now, but not after fretting over it for a couple days. And I don't even work for the gov't, so it can't be that! ;-)
