Total Overhaul

I am fairly certain that I will have a new callus on my right middle finger by tomorrow from swiping it around the laptop mouse pad all morning, but I'm really proud of the new things I learned today. I really did like the look of my old layout, however I wasn't very happy with the sizing of the columns or how they displayed on the page. Okay, so I guess the only thing I really liked was the coffee cup (self-admitted caffeine junkie here). So I ended up on a design mission. I refused to be thwarted in my efforts to get just the look I wanted. I'm nothing if not determined and no is not a word I take easily.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't edit an html code for a template. It can be done, provided you figure out which part of the code what you're looking for is hidden in.

I tried out several new skins today and finally found one that I love. You're looking at it. However, my header wasn't coming up in the right spot and it was just too darn big to fit. I searched, and searched, and searched again to see how I could change the size and placement. Every single sucking forum I read said that you just can't edit a template. Bull! I ended up combing through lines of code and until I finally found what I was looking for. I knew that it was in there somewhere, I just had to figure out the where. It's sort of like working with a puzzle, you have to have the right piece to make it fit. Through a little bit of trial and error, I accomplished my goal. For those of you who are looking to do this, leave me a comment and I will try and help walk you through it.
