Updated.

I have not been happy with the theme of this blog since I moved over from Blogger.

I have 11 themes uploaded to this blog. 11!

And I have not been happy with a single one of them.

So, today, I decided that I was going to customize a theme to look how I wanted it to.

I took the theme Shade of Grey and changed the CSS to make it the way I wanted it to look. That took a long time. I was surprised at how many things there are to change when you want to totally redo the color scheme of a blog.

I was also surprised – pleasantly – at how much CSS I know.

Then, I made a custom banner.

And last, I made a new favicon to match. (Though my Firefox still shows the old one, but the new one shows when I view in IE.)

Finally, I can say I like my template.

Now, instead of spending hours working on a new template, I can actually post!

The only thing that I am bummed about is that the picture of the Power Rangers in the spaghetti bowl is gone.

Maybe I will put it in the side bar.

Update: The Power Rangers are back.  And my favicon is now showing up.  All is right with the blog.
