Little things

I'm insufferably pleased with myself right now. After much hair-pulling, wailing, and human sacri—er, I mean, "positive thinking," I have finally figured out how to make my blog navigation work the way I want it to. There is now a handy-dandy home page separate from the blog. (The hyperlinks are also now in a matching and visible color, the italics finally work, and I have title images on the pages I want them on. Woohoo!) I even figured out how to back up my site and database so I could finally upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. (Yesterday. Today there was a new version. LOL.)

The only thing I'm not pleased with is the slide show. It's not that I don't know how to make it work; I do. It's that I have no images to share from my Flickr account right now that don't make the site look goofier than it already does. So I'm now displaying the default photos from the theme. (Yeah, those lovely flowers are not mine. Can't take credit.)

Ah, well. I'll take what I can get. (Otherwise known as the Belphagor philosophy.)
