Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History

FYI March 17, 2006

I’m just having a little identity crisis, so I’m fooling around with themes. Not making my own or anything, but just sponging off the back of someone else’s hard work. So if you check in throughout the day or weekend, you might find yourself thinking, wtf is she doing? Why does this keep changing? Or, you might be fooled into sticking around for a few minutes beyond your countdown. Until you realize, OH! It’s that vikibabbles thing. Bitch fooled me.

Update: I like this one, but I’ll have to figure out how to change the pictures. And for some weird reason, I can’t change the permissions, so I can’t mess with it. Which is probably good. But at least for today, the green background is for St. Patty’s Day!

Update #2: I think I’m in love. I have an affinity for the plain, and this one is called veryplaintxt or some shit like that. Plain as fucking day. Plain as it comes. Plain plain plain.
What do you think? Assuming that, when you read this, everything is all plain, black and white, just a bareness of loveliness, leaving nothing to distract you from the amazing power of my words.

Excuse me. I just laughed so hard I hacked up part of one of my lungs.

Update #3: Why on earth can’t I change the file attributes properly? Why am I stuck in this “if this file was writable you could edit it” hell? WTF am I doing wrong? Anybody?

Update #4: I found this lovely template, called lush. I like it’s simplicity combined with the color. And the ladybugs. I’m going to try to make this work now. Maybe SOME people who think my site sucks will be turned on by it. Or not.

  1. Sorry. I really liked the picture on your last look. This is just PLAIN!

    I know. It’s plain as can be. I’ll get over it probably by tomorrow and reinstate my former look. I do need to add some pizzazz to it, though. It needs a background or something. QofA offered to help me fix that problem.

    I’m just such a dunce with all of this. I’ve bought all kinds of CSS books and I spend all this time trying to figure it out but all I do is make things look stupid.

    I’m not a graphic designer, not by any stretch.

  3. Awww…it is kinda plain. But ya’ know…it has potential! Why don’t you check out the gal who did mine? She even has some free ones that you just download and upload to your folders. :D You can doo eet!

    To be honest, your blog kind of sucked before and you just made it worse!

  5. viki Says:

    Thanks, Kentucky Girl. You’re design is so pretty-I did check out the girl who did yours and contacted her.

    I appreciate your honesty, SaraSunnny. Sort of. I wonder why you didn’t leave a URL so I could come check out your site, which surely must be astounding.

    I think this is a great look for a blog.

  7. viki Says:

    Thank you, Buddha. I like the way you think. I like things to be somewhat plain. All the busy-ness of some blogs gives me a headache. Not THIS plain. This design could use a little sprucing up. But I like the very basicness (I’m well aware that’s not a word) of it.

    So I think I’ve seen like 3 of your new templates and I have to be honest…I love them. Actually…that was me lying. So far they all suck. Get your game up. Tata

  9. viki Says:

    I can always count on you to be honest, Son.

  10. Queen of Ass Says:

    I like it! And I love the ladybugs! They’re great!

  11. viki Says:

    Thank you, Queen. I knew I could count on you. I’m really starting to like it, myself. I may have to try to change the colors, but for now, it’s staying like this. Unless I decide to change it again.
