This could very well be the last couple of days that I will have free time, I am contemplating the idea of re-designing my website, again! I just need to simplify it (I always say that), but I ran into an issue with Blogger. Not to dis my web log provider, since they do provide me with a very good, free service (I don't really have a right to complain, but I am going to anyways). As you know, this main page is full of content, the bulk of what I post is here, front and center. The obstacle I have been confronted with is going to force me to re-design the site, or at least the main page. I am not talking about complete overhaul, but just some much needed readjustments and better organization techniques. Blogger seems to have a limit on the amount of characters within the HTML template, so when I was adding some tags and such it began to delete the tags at the bottom of the code, to compensate for what I was adding. At the time, I was forced to just go through all of the code and erase empty spaces, allowing for those few characters I needed to add in order for my new links so show up. My code is an absolute mess and I cannot live with it this manner. Maybe if I take on this project, I can finally try and get this thing running for all browsers! Wouldn't that be nice.

Don't get too excited, this is just a thought and I could change my mind in the next few minutes. Or not?

At the same time, I am going to finally turn this baby, as in my computer, into a panther puppy, but with hesitation. I made the switch to Panther on my laptop a couple of days ago, and although I am very excited about some of the new features, I am not able to connect to the internet! My ethernet connection is showing a valid and running connection, but nothing actually happens. So after a minor freak out, trying to troubleshoot and venturing into dangerous OSX territory to try and find some sort of solution to the problem, I slept and dreamt of troubleshooting and never being able to connect to the web again! (I ended up riding on the back of a little pig, through the snow, in much of my dream. The pig then turned into a baby in a little red jumpsuit that I nurtured until he was ready to brave the wild on his own.) I was just informed, however, by my roommate that it is not a panther problem, in fact it is an ISP issue, I need a new IP address. Soooo, I am going to make this leap and hope for the best – my little jumpsuit piggy is going to make it, I have faith in him.
