suddenly, i’m terribly unsatisfied with the editing capabilities of blogsome. especially fiddling around with templates. i mean, i loved the blue and grey ferns, there was something so suitably fey about it, and gaylourdes felt at home. but i’m sick of the silly crunching columns that have trouble with images, and a blogroll that i just can’t shape. and no matter which other theme i change to, i just can’t seem to edit the template how i want. some more knowledge of code would help i’m sure.
i’m almost about to go back to blogger.
if anyone has any suggestions about better blog-type servers…flood me!
In the meantime, i resign myself to looking like a BHP annual report.
Edit: Woo! Webmatrix compares…
i don’t actually know enough about coding (i feel) to be able to complain about my choices and options on blogspot. i mean, if i knew how to do what i want to do, then i would know whether or not blogspot lets me do it. IT’S A CONUNDRUM. i am also amused by our simultaneous revamps. maybe we should do like they do in that show where people re-do a room in each others’ houses. heh.

it’s true, the default blogsome themes are pretty limited. but i’m here to help with code if you need it. also, there are lots more templates out there for blogsome — you can probably find one with wider columns for images. or try this trick.
if you change, i’d suggest going to wordpress.com rather than blogspot. wordpress is open source and you can use user-made plugins (of which there are 1000’s). blogspot is all centralised/corporate and there are no user-written plug-ins.

hmmm. i think you just need a revamp on your template..i’m also happy to help
i suspect a 3 column design is on order to cope with you copious links.
