Things will be looking a little wonky around here the next couple of days. This blog is a DIY project for me that I get to do when my 3 year-old and 1 year-old aren’t in desperate need of me.
Doing it all on my own is great because I get to learn a bunch of technical stuff that I would otherwise be oblivious to. Doing it all on my own sucks because sometimes even though I’m very careful, I mess up something that was working just fine and I have no one to blame but myself.
Last night, I thought I would play around with a plugin that was supposed to wow you with my fabulous content; instead, I somehow broke the functionality of certain parts of my theme. I was so mad that I fired myself, then I realized nothing would get done without me so I hired myself back, but I’m on probation.
All this to say, forgive appearances while I clean up my mess! You are still welcome to come over, but things won’t be tidy. You may bump your toes on some widgets as I move them around.
*Update: It’s fixed until I break it again.
And now your Friday Fortune Cookie
(don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):
Embrace change; it’s bound to happen.

Well, I hope you figure it out…you’ve got me curious now!
hired fired yourself – just remember to give yourself a good performance review.
You run this on wordpress – right?
Yeah, I’m self-hosted on WordPress.org.
You crack me up with your firing and re-hiring of yourself. After the probationary period, maybe you will get a raise.
I doubt it, I’m a pretty tough boss.
I HATE HATE HATE when that happens. I’m sure you’ll work it all out.
I know you’ve through it. My head hurts, but I will figure it out. If I had $$$, I’d let someone else figure it out.
It all looks fine to me, but I do hate it when I jam up my blog in some way, so you have my empathy.
I think I’m getting it back to normal, five minutes at a time. I couldn’t get one thing back that I created no matter how hard I tried so I give up on that.
I had trouble redoing my blog too…. but there is no one else to do it. It looks good to me!
Hire and fired! Love it! I don’t think I could do half of what you do on this marvelous website! I don’t have the time to work on it every day, so I will hang back until summer, and then go for it. I love what you’ve done, and what you are doing with it. I think you should pat yourself on the back for a great job! Maybe once you figure it out, you can give us all a tutorial…in Spanish. Hell, I don’t think I’d understand it in English, so why not? Enjoy your baby girls and papi this weekend!
Those thing happen. I once totally killed off my commenting system while I was messing around with html. You do a great job, you will figure it all out soon. I have confidence in you. Firing and re-hiring yourself cracked me up 😉
You do good work, kid! I’d break the entire internet if I even thought about messing with mine.
Hmm…if ever you need a testimonial, I am here to give it. So lets celebrate with a flask of coffee just the way you like it – the exact shade of that brown paper bag. Hugs to you.
I am vacillating between staying on blogger and moving to wordpress, but am a little scared to do it all on my own. Time being the big constraint, not a lack of willingness to work it.
I say do it. I did it on my own and had very little time. The good thing is that if you go with self-hosted, you can work on the design offline while you are still on Blogger and take your time until it is all set up, then switch over. I will always be glad that I switched and on my own if for no other reason than it was a great learning experience.
You crack me up! (fired then re-hired yourself) I completely understand though…. I’m not good at the technical side of blogging and designing…
Every time I touch my blog, which is all the time, I have the feeling I’m going to destroy it forever. Sometimes I even worrying about logging myself out, incase I can’t log back in again. 😀
Oh honey, I do that all the time… I’m wordpress.org as well… but I’m usually pretty careful not to fire myself just in case I decide I don’t want the job that much after all and I choose not to come back when I’m inevitably forced to rehire myself. That would really suck for me…
Love it…have a good weekend! I hope you give your self weekends off with pay!
No worries, we are all just learning…I double posted yesterday.
I’ve got to mess with my blog sometime too. Yours is looking good!
I hate it when that happens….
I know, I think I caught the blog-breakies from you!
I always find and put up my own backgrounds but that’s about as good as I get!
I’m proud of you. I have somehow screwed up my FB Fan page plug-in and I have NO idea how to fix it.

I have been having trouble with comment verification, I wish I was technical! Apologies for not calling by to comment very often, time just seems to get swallowed up by real life at present!
I like to tinker on mine as well and I’m no expert but here’s a quick tip. I tend to open a notepad and copy paste the code of whatever it is I want to play with. Then when I play with code and breaker something I can start over from the notepad. Just a little trick to prevent anything from breaking too bad on your site!
