gardening and lay outs

[cornerofmadness]

Hmm rather than fix the porch, they just shivved the posts. Big shocker.

In spite of feeling like poopy I took advantage of the cool down (thank you, it was getting nearly 85 again) and the intense storm (knocked out my power three times) to get out there and dig a row for the beans and to weed. As any gardener will tell you gardening is a process. Well in the middle of this, I found FOUR volunteer tomatoes. i've never had that happen before. Three I believe are lemon peppers (little pepper shaped yellow 'cherries') and one was further down. I'm not sure what it'll be. Maybe an Italian Heritage one. Here's hoping they get nice and big.

Lay outs... well believe it or not I've had mine for years now. Wow. Usually I change much more than that but eventually the Buffy fandom layouts went dead and really I haven't seen too many layouts in my newer fandoms (probably just not looking in the right spot). Anyhow, for my birthday evil_little_dog made me a banner.

I could actually get this up on my own. I can see what I need to change on my old layout to put up the new banner from photobucket and where I could change things like 'all about me' and 'memories' and the like. However, my layout is the old S1 version. LJ isn't too happy with that. I don't know what S2 would do to the code I have and we all know I know jack about doing this on my own. Also, I've always disliked the god-awful yellow of my layout and while I can see them on the coding, I have no idea what the numbers stand for, let alone change them to a more pleasing color.

mzzgoddessblue and I were talking about doing my new lay out. However, it's difficult to coordinate times when your countries are this far apart. Anyone else willing to give me a hand? I honestly don't want anything fancy. Mostly just the banner up and a good color for it (bluish would work). I don't even need user info, memories, etc changed into exotic little sayings (in fact, I really hate that. Seriously, I do not want to have to guess what to click on to find what I need on someone's lj but hey, it's theirs to do with what they want so i don't complain but on mine, let's keep it simple.)

Hmm dinner time. Let's see if the body wants food or if it wants to be cranky...

I will if you don't mind waiting a few days til the weekend, I'm sure I can come up with something nice for you.

Oh, I could definitely make a layout for you; I just don't know if it would work with LJ's whole backend code thing. Hell, making layouts is pretty much my *profession*, after all.

I'm a photoshop goddess, so I could definitely make a nice graphic for your header in any case. What kinda theme do you want? I've been toying with playing with Goku graphics since the monkey is so damned photogenic.

i'm probably patient enough for that (in fact I'll be at my parents so me doing stuff on line would be easier then)

would you like me to send banner (or link to same)

and thanks

Ee... I had evil_little_dog send it to me earlier so I could look at it and think about ideas in case you wanted me to do it. ^_^ So by this weekend I should have some ideas and maybe some pinups on my test sites for you to take a look at.
