New Diggs
After months of working late into the morning hours locked in my triple top secret Bat Cave, I have finally released this new page. What do you think? Can you believe that I created this from scratch, and totally by myself with absolutely no help from anyone? I mean I didn't even use a template. I didn't even by a book on HTML code. You wouldn't believe how many hours it took me to create the new masthead (that thing at the top that says The D Rules). I spent about 50 hours tweaking the colors alone. I still want to change some things but they're minor and you probably wouldn't notice them. But I sure notice them and they drive me nuts. That concludes the B.S. portion of this post. Now here's what really happened. I didn't make this new page alone I had a lot of help from fellow bloggers. First, I would like to give UBER-PROPS to Waldo Oiseau from Kansas City Daily Photo. She was the one who did the masthead. I had always wanted my own custom masthead but I don't know anything about photoshop or any kind of drawing program (except autocad but that is used to draw buildings). So she offered to work her Jedi magic with it and I took her up on her offer. I sent her some images that were close to what I wanted and she ran with it. So after about 2 or 3 weeks of constant back and forth emails, me telling her to change this and change that, and her probably thinking "Jesus H Christ on a crutch! How freaking demanding is this jerk-ass!!" We finally got it right. I'm so happy with it I feel like a seven peckered billy goat. Now you have to go to her site and tell her what a kick ass job she did on it, and wish her a happy birthday while you there. Don't worry Waldo I already got ya covered. The next blogger I would like to thank is Emaw author of the wildly popular Three O'Clock In The Morning. He pointed me to a really kick ass web site about HTML coding, which allowed me to change some of the layout and HTML thingamajigs. I got you covered to Emaw. I also need to thank my pal Erin from Erin in the Real World and Waldo again for being the site color coordinators. After Erin saw the first edition (this is like the 20th) she said that it was the most horrible thing she had ever seen. And Waldo threatened to sue because of the damage it may have done to her eye site. (If you don't like the colors blame them). So when two women tell you that your site colors (and clothes) are crap then it's probably in your best interest to listen to them. So I spent about a week and a half changing the colors and fonts. I still have a few things to change but this is 99.5% finished. Thanks again to all that helped. YA'LL THE BALLZ!! The Weekend Wrap-up is coming Monday night. I had something really crazy happen to me Saturday night while on the Waldo Pub Crawl. Thanks for reading and let me know what ya think. But not you Anonymous I don't listen to you.
