I've been rearranging letters for recreation and recompense since I was 10. there hasn't been any money yet, but I'm keeping the faith.

Problems I'm having with this layout.

1. apparently, this layout doesn't like paragraphs (like you Bourke!) and therefore, I have to put extra spaces between paragraphs for it to realise that I want a line break in there. This is not a huge problem, but one that I have got to get used to.

2. This layout also does not realise the value of Caps Lock. Everything becomes small case and as such cannot be changed try as I might. This particular problem is really starting to piss me off as everything from personal pronouns, to tiltes, to the names of countries start appearing in small case letters really throwing off the balance in the writing.

3. The person who built this blog probably built this when they were an amateur layout designer because all the images and titles you see (as in the archives title to the left followed by the blogs title etc.) are actually images. Therefore, they cannot be changed, only moved around. So, even though I might not want an archives section and would rather prefer a intro type thing, it is impossible to do so in thsi layout as those images cannot be altered unless I have the originals in hand.

so, even though I like this design, I might have to look for somethign else to replace it with. I still have the code for the last layout, so that's always an option, but I think I'm gonna stick with this for a few days and see what else I can find.

The biggest piss off while doing this layout hunting is that there are a lot of beautiful designs out there. However, for many of them, you have to pay to use them. I understand that those people have to make money too, but I just can't help thinking thyat it sucks royally.

i'll keep ya'll updated...
