Today has NOT gone as expected. I made major changes to this blog yesterday, primarily re-categorizing things. Then this morning I made one minor change — I added 2 subcategories — and the whole thing went kaflooey!

I like the Wordpress theme that I have. It’s called Ginseng Coffee. But the way it’s set up, there’s only room for categories on the tiny line below the asterisk in the circle. Guess I’m verbose enough that four or five categories wasn’t enough, so I had to try and figure out where to put the others. In the meantime, all the subcategories showed up – prancing all over the quote I used to have from Theodora Van Wagenen Ward.

I had already decided to use the big brown box (that used to hold the quote) as advertising space. No way to do that until the other stuff was unscrewed. Hours later, it was working and I had plugged the ads in the box. I still had categories left over. What to do?

As you can see, I decided to put them in the same brown box with the ads. And boy, don’t I think I’m clever in having figured out how to do that!

Then, being a glutton for punishment, I got myself a MySpace account. Back to feeling stupid. It took four more hours to figure out how to change the appearance of that page without messing things up — one more time. Ah me. It’s been a terribly long day already.
