Jazzing up this Blog.

I need to do something to make this blog more interesting. Pictures, maybe. Possibly a different layout, although I don't know, I like this one.

If I was a tiny bit more educated in HTML I could play around with images. I know a few little tricks, but not many. Not like the under 25 group, who probably took it in high school or college.

A spider just ran across my desk. It was one of those black jumpy spiders that are usually fairly small, but this one was big. Big to me is the size of a plastic pop bottle top around. Anything bigger than that is huge. The only thing that kept me from screeching was that the poor Saint is sleeping, and has to get up in the morning, and also because my window is open and The Spider Scream would totally freak the entire neighborhood out. Really.

One of our friends compared it to someone being killed by an axe murderer. But, anyway, back to the blog.

So, maybe pink is not the best color. Too calming. Maybe I need to change the background to blues or greens....no, I think it just needs to be more lively.

I wonder where that spider is now.

Maybe I will consult with a friend who does this for a living...no, she'd probably want to charge me a consulting fee. And who can blame her, I'm sure she gets pestered all the time from people wanting her to take a look and fool with their meager little websites and blogs. It's so true - if you're good at something, people want your help for free. Now, personally, I'm always flattered when I get asked for help in my areas of expertise.

I am still sort of creeped out that the spider is skittering around on my desk somewhere.

I suppose I can take a little glance around the html world, and see if I can find anything cool, but not too challenging for my limited skills.

And since I keep thinking the spider is crawling up my leg every two seconds, I'm going to cut this short.
