Re-deaux

Oh, I hope I am not showing my crassness by mis-spelling the title! I am posting this quickly as it is a thought and so therefore becomes a quick blog, no picture, no special title or what... Late on a Sunday evening when I DO have to get ready for work tomorrow.... ugh... IS there such a thing as a "quick" blog? Or is that a "twitter" these days????

Today, I went into my blog template and reset some of the parameters so the type could go wider on screen space and there was not such a large margin around it. I loved the colors of the template I chose here at blogspot, but it was too narrow. It made for intensive scrolling which I personally hate. So, I had to dig up my OLD html skills from way back when and see the details in this template to re-arrange things.

So, I see I got that solved and now the paragraphs all run together! There is no real leading to this blog. Or, the new term: paragraph spacing. Am I being TOO much of a desktop publisher? Is a blog not supposed to be decent type layout? Or is it that you have to go pay for a special website blog to get decent layout? Hmmmm, no comment. I am actually putting two hard returns between each para in this entry to see what it does... I guess that is the "re dueax" part in the title ;-) Still glad I have like two followers and no one really sees this.

Did read in Keri Smiths' blog today, she has young children now and it is wearing on what she feels is her ability to social network. HA! Almost glad to hear that. Now I know what has been "wrong" with me for the last 30 years ;-)

I NEVER have been good a social networking and all that. I think that is why I have had a regular job all these years, in design, publishing, layout, all that - but still, always FOR someone else. But then when I had kids, it was really a good excuse to use for not "networking" or being a REAL artist - had to support the kids. Interesting to read another perspective....

OK, onward to see what this post looks like! Took some pics of outside terrace today and the cat, as normal, but not to be published here as yet.
