Don't Be Frightened 

So the observant among you may have noticed I've changed a few things around here. I finally dialed back the red a bit and decided to clean the design up a bit (the CSS is very bare-bones at the moment).

This design (and I use that term very very loosely) is nowhere near being finished. I still need to re-do my header logo and do more tweaking to the style sheet. But for now, it's good to go. I think. I haven't tested it outside of Firefox. If it breaks in IE or Safari (or other browsers), I may not have time to fix it until around Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I think this will be a wee bit easier on the eyes. Feedback is welcome (uh, as long as it pertains to the blog design, I should add).

This is not a photo blog 

But this is. (Alternatively, you can clickie the linkie that says "Photography" in the left side bar to reach Visual Cues.)

I've been in the process of re-doing Visual Cues for months now and was just not getting anywhere. While a photo blog was the basic plan, I hadn't planned to do it in Blogger because of the various, um...issues they seem to be having with beta (well, technically, it's not "beta" anymore). However, I got tired of trying to wrestle with WordPress and, for the time being, it's gonna be in Blogger. At some point, probably after the next school term is over, I will just try to write a WordPress stylesheet and template from scratch, rather than keep wrestling with the default template (as several sites and a book or two suggested I do).

Of course, I will still post photos here: Simon Sunday just wouldn't be right without a photo of Simon (or Billie, when appropriate), after all! But Thinking Out Loud was starting to look like a photo blog and I wanted to rein that in before it got out of hand.

I now return you to your regular programming.
