And I know, it’s too blue – we need to liven it up, and I have some ideas; I’m not using enough photos.  That lolCat post looked good just because it added colour!

but

I’m busy.  I shouldn’t be working on this blog as much as I am.  I have an exam tomorrow and on Wednesday.  After that, my summer begins, and the blog goes from beta to alpha.

Uh, that’s kind of a big question, isn’t it?

Okay, fine, what do I need to do to make myself happy with this blog?

Much better. Why don’t you make a to-do list?

Because I hate to-do lists. They always look stupid because they always become terribly out of date and there’s always some issue on there that sticks around for weeks and weeks.

Just make one. Sheesh.

  1. Re: The stylesheet. See that xhtml & css down there, we need to FIR it.
  2. Re: The stylesheet. I want to include modified (blueified?) icons.
  3. Re: The stylesheet. I don’t know if it works right for pages. Need more testing.
  4. Re: The stylesheet. Are we detecting a pattern yet? Concerns about background file sizes have yet to be resolved. Concerns about background sizes (pixelwise) have yet to be resolved. Need more background images.
  5. Credits. Need to through out kudos to the guy who did the sandbox theme and of course to Eric Meyers. Hey, put that in a page and then you can test the pages with css. Well, duh.
  6. Mission. Why am I doing a blog? Yeah, why are you? I don’t know. I need a page and I wanted an excuse to play with Wordpress. Plus, a page stays static. With a blog, every now and then I can pretend to care and write some crap.
  7. php programming. Time to roll up the sleeves and dig in – I want to write that function that turns the first word and/or first two letters blue. Like in the title. Right now I’m faking it. I need to dig in with both hands and figure out where in the Wordpress code jumble I can add my own function to return a <span>.
  8. php programming / image handling. So a long time ago A List Apart published this great article and I’ve been so inspired by it. I want it. I need it. It will be added to the collective. How? I have some ideas…
  9. Finish writing this to do list.

I don’t think number 9 counts.

Yeah well…
