To all who’ve commented but cannot find the posts you commented on, no, don’t worry, I’ve got them, just been messing round with my blog a bit and decided to remove some more… emo posts.
Thanks for dropping by despite my sudden departure from Blogspot!
Me lub you guys long long time!
At loggerheads with WordPress
January 15, 2007 at 8:47 pm (Blog-related blabber)
OK, I seriously need help with this damn WordPress thing. Does the fact I haven’t upgraded to the CSS editor feature mean that I CANNOT change my fonts in my posts? Oh, OK, seems like I can, by tinkering with the code… Hmm…
*clicks around a bit more and throws hands up in despair*
I’ve decided that this blog shall only be official once I’ve figured the whole damn thing out – WordPress is wonderfully well-equipped with features I’m not sure I’ll actually bother to fully utilise, all I’m currently interested in is changing the look and feel of the template!
This one I’m using here is pretty OK, I guess, I don’t find it offending my delicate aesthetic sensibilities, but at the same time it must be kept in mind that I’ve always been using the trademark colours of black, white, grey, and orange, and I don’t want to forfeit that just for the simplicity of picking out some stock template a billion others are probably already calling their own. Call me an annoying anal prat, but there’s also the niggling matter of the fact that don’t like dull blues and greens, and as decently as this template manages to pull off those tones, I can’t help but feel a mild twinge of distaste for it.
Maybe I’ll just beg dad to whip out his credit card for once. I’ve never asked for that before, choosing to settle all payments for stuff I want (my little indulgences are plentiful, and not necessary items either, so I don’t see why he should foot the bill) on my own.
But now it’s a fucking NEED – I NEED a COMPLETELY customisable blog, I need a venue to vent my emotions, as therapy to help me get over my emotional issues (yes, my shrink condones bitching in the blogosphere if it help alleviate my angst), and being the uber-control-freak I am, this shit is just killing me, this crummy pre-set template restricting my sense of creativity, and killing any inspiration for stringing together anything remotely satisfactory, ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…
Blah. As I continue tinkling round with setting and all, I guess it meants a few weeks more of incoherent blathering here, so if you know me, and you’ve stumbled upon this sorry excuse of a replacement or a continuation of where I left off on : : Rant Rave Bitch : : (click on link at your own risk, it’s not mine now, just a big fucking joke in the blogosphere taunting me), do be patient, and you’ll be suitably rewarded with regular posting once I’ve managed to transform this unsatisfactory piece of crap into a showcase my literary genius.
Thank you for your patience =)
Confessions of a blogaholic

This is like my 2738450th blog I’ve registered, and my first foray into the world of WordPress.
I’m still figuring things out here, but I think I might just like this place. Very much.
So maybe I’ll still here a little while longer.
Just stay tuned.
