Graphically pissed off

Not profane graphic,more "I never realized how ugly my blog is". All about the content. So I visited my dream perfection lighthearted sharp blog dream header. Shitake. Folks where can I find graphics that look like The Flipflop mama's. I can draw, Levi can create. Neither of us has time. I've now spent valuable hours combing through blogger templates/graphics and am weak with nausea due to the ug-factor. Levi says this will take many many hours.

Unacceptable - I have toilets to clean and I hate research. Besides the slow-churned ice-cream is melting.

"i never realized how ugly my blog is." how spoiled are we mamas with our toys and techs?! that's the funniest (though absolutely understandable in this day and age) complaint i've heard in awhile! it's gotta be better lookin than the toilet you apparently haven't cleaned... :)

Frankly, I love so many aspects of techie land in relationship to relationship. Even little moments can be threads of connection.

It seems like it's misrepresentation that's frustrating. Whenever we have something that "represents" us and it's not doing a good job, we feel the need to clarify, I think. "I'm really much cooler than my nasty couch would lead you to believe", etc.

"I'm really much cooler than my ugly blog would lead you to believe." We know you're cool Beth...

I agree with Matthew! I have searched and searched for the perfect pic for my header. One that not only represents me, but "The Whole Family" (pun intended). It freakin' impossible! So, I've decided to change it every couple of months. LOL!

I personally think there should be some pics of my cute niece and nephew at least every once in a while, so that I know what they look like. LOL! You could give them fake names to protect their identities if you're worried about that kind of stuff.

And, I agree...I love Flip Flop Mamma and her blog!

That's exactly it! AM I defined by navy and polka dots? I am MORE. Hee-Hee. I am bright and wonderful. Navy is for the military - and great pairs of Levi's (jeans). Where o where has the cuteness gone?

I found you through Flip's site (I was reading about the crappy way a church dealt with her husband - I've been there) I can help you with your blog design... but you are being hindered by the use of Blogger. Basically you have traded customization for a "free blog." If you're willing to switch hosts, the sky is the limit. But even with Blogger there is a lot that can be done. If you are interested, contact me and I can show some other things I've done :-)

The girl who did my blog template was payed to do it by an anonymous blogger. I told her what I wanted, and viola! I asked her how much she charged and she said about $50. There's a link at the bottom of my sidebar to her page.

Wee Niecey!
Though you may no longer enjoy your representation here, it HAS been good to have the venue to communicate.
I hope I am so much more than my misshapen head would lead you to believe.

This is a good one, flow with it folks......

I'm actually more potty trained than my soggy bottom would lead you to believe.

I'm much more an idea man than my lack of patents would lead you to believe.

for just that very reason, bethany, i'm considering moving over to wordpress.com. they have a number of killer templates and it's easy to use. fwiw

wyofaith said...

fwiw?

I work out more than my double wide tractor trailer Coke-slugging brownie-horking bootie would lead you to believe...
