Ranting, Raving, and Rambling

AAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!

I simply cannot understand why, when I tell it < font: 3399FF > (which is the light blue color off to the right there) it insists on making it black! No sense at all. The preview shows the font being all the right colors and sizes, but does it publish? Noooo. No, no, that would make my life entirely too simple.

I just hope that a new post will somehow make the font work...

Well, that wraps up this rant.

Until next time,

Duplications, Frustrations, and Consolations

Well, I really didn't want to post twice in the same day, but I'm quite frustrated at Blogger at the moment. I like the layout right now, however, I would very much like to change the color scheme! They say they want me to be able to exercise my creativity and have fun, but with an entire lack of instruction on how to do so! So far I have been able to change the links to any color that I choose, but as for the rest of the text, I am at a loss. Not to mention the background. Now, I know a fair bit of HTML, and I know how to change these things using it. Blogger Help (which wasn't very helpful, unsurprisingly) insists that I can insert HTML if I want to, but I have yet to do this.

*Sigh* I suppose I should give Blogger a break. They are in the process of moving everything, which, as I understand, if very difficult and probably frustrating. And, I must remember a very good motto: Never complain about something that's free.

Well, that wraps up today's second rant.

Until next time,

Abandonment, Analysis, and Aliens

Well, I was cleaning out my Inbox, and lo and behold. I have a forgotten blog. With no meaningful posts in it to boot. But, I rather like the idea of having a blog, so I created a new one (this was necessary as my other rant blog [which has since been deleted] was seemingly lost, or taken over by aliens, I'm not sure which). I suppose I won't abandon this one, that is, if I remind myself to post in it. The fact that I'm highly inconsitsent in such matters is the exact reason that I have a blog, and not a LiveJournal. One costs money, the other does not. But this is perfect for me.

It's a rather interesting thing to think about, that I'm either talking to no one, or someone. I figure that as this is a rather boring blog, with no good posts, no one would want to read it, so I could really say anything, and it would be like talking to air. On the other hand, I do believe that anyone has access to this blog, so thousands of people could be reading this right now. (Unlikely, however, entirely possible.) I have absolutlely no idea what the point was behind that analysis.

Well, I'm still trying to figure out exactly how Blogger works, (spoken like a true Newbie) but I'm figuring it out. Next I need a good layout. It's amazing how much you change. When I got this, I couldn't care less about layout. I'm still not very good at it, but now, at least, I understand the importance of it.

Well, that wraps up today's rant.

Until next time,
