shellys: from Dover clipart (To Write)
I thought I'd use this as a regular writing blog, for the stuff more public than I put on my LJ. I have a Blogger blog for that, but don't use it much, so thought I'd just move that here. And I can't import from Blogger. So I might repost things here as time permits, while moving forward. Would be nice if Blogger import was supported, though.

Oooo, Color

So, the style I had wasn't customizable, so I went back to this one and changed the colors to a more overall blue look. Finding what everything is called was time-consuming, and there's no section to reorder the sidebar sections. I really don't want to play with css, at least not now, so this will have to do. I hope more options/styles are coming, because the selection is rather slim right now. I hope the thing's readable.

It's hard for me to come up with a use for a place if I can't get comfortable with it and that includes an amenable design. But we'll see. I can make icons for the place now, so that should help a bit, but having a theme for the place would help with that, too.

Too curious for my own good, I paid for a year here, in a show of support and to see what I get for the money. I seem to now have 75 icon spaces available, but the theme selection remains at 4. And not very attractive ones at that. The paid accounts are discounted $10 until November, so I have just before that to renew at the current price, I assume, which means I'll need to see more bells and whistles before I pay again. I love icons, but that's not enough. I want a nice theme/design for this blog, let alone a good reason to have it, but that's another problem and my problem, alone.

So, we'll see, stay tuned, whatever.

Edited to add: Hmmm.... I don't see an edit icon on the actual posts. Very annoying. Took 2 or 3 steps to get to edit this as I forgot to add a mood.

Moving In

I got the keys to the place, but still have to move in the furniture. The resemblance to LJ is a bit disconcerting, but Open Source can mess with your mind that way.

I'm not sure what I will do with this. Mostly, I want to play with it and learn about it. I do not plan to cross post with my LJ or other blogs here, but I might do it once or twice just to try out the feature.
