Operation?

Image Source
Did you notice the new look to my blog? It was pretty stressful to do that. I did something that I have always been afraid to do....

**I messed with the HTML code.**

It was done with fear and trembling.
It was kind of like playing Operation. You know, that Dr. game where you pull out the tiny bone with the small but not small enough tweezers. You can't hit the sides with the tweezers or the buzzer goes off, while your concentrating SO hard and scares the hay right out of you. Oh my! Whew! What a challenge. I felt like I was performing an operation. At one point I felt I should yell out to one of my children "scalpel".

However, the results turned out well. To those of you that don't care know much about HTML code I was afraid that one wrong move, one wrong period, one wrong space in the wrong place would totally delete my blog...FOREVER! How terrible would that be? Pretty terrible if you ask me. Well, I did it and I'm delighted with the results. The only thing that could make this even better is if I discovered I lost 10 lbs while doing this AND you left me a comment. OK, OK, so I know you have no control over the 10 lbs thing but you certainly can help me out with the comment thing.

Please, leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the new look of my blog. Was it worth it? Let me know. If I don't get any comments, I may have to resort to putting my sad face on the blog like my daughter did!

Please, don't make me pout. It works on my Daddy but....

If you want to be brave and try this on your blog go to Shel's Scraps. She gives you some FREE backgrounds and more importantly gives you excellent instructions on how to do it.

By the way, I know there are several of you computer savvy types that are laughing at this blog post. That is ok...go ahead and laugh. I am still proud as can be of my accomplishment. ;-)

I love it. I really like the fact that the sides stay the same and just the middle moves. You are getting so smart. I need a few lessons but I have been working on some of mine also. I have some questions but I'll ask them later. Keep up the good work.
