Propeller head.

I made some changes to the links on the blog. I have been a subscriber of Bloglines for some time, but never took advantage of some of the really neato capabilities. Like showing the blogroll. After much anxiety and trial and error, I changed the HTML on my site (whew, I need a drink!) and now all the blogs I chose to exhibit are there. The 3 that I read regularly that aren’t available are underneath. (Kristin, Tom, Steakbellie – why aren’t your feeds on Bloglines? Particularly you, Tom, because I can’t figure out how to get rid of that space before your blog link and it’s driving me crazy! If you get on Bloglines, I can just delete it & it’ll show up top! Please have mercy…)

One of the motivations for including the blogroll (instead of just the links I go to most often) was so that Andrew could easily get to waiter rant – he’s hooked. For the first time, I think he finally understands why I like this stuff. Part of me is thrilled that we can now share the joy of blogs and part of me feels he’s totally infringing on my turf. Now he’s sitting there chorkling and giggling and I want to know what’s so damn funny. It’s way more fun to be the laugher… But I digress.

Mostly, I’m quite pleased with myself. I learned how to make the blogroll happen, edit the template of my blog more than I ever had before. I’ve always been a bit of a propeller head in some ways. And now, I can add elementary HTML to the list of geeky skills…

Off to pop the cork from a bottle of Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut (a very nice and affordable sparkly, if you like that sort of thing!) , get dinner on the table, and snuggle with the boys for a movie. We’re still deciding between School of Rock (which we’ve seen so many times!) and Joe vs. the Volcano…

Cheers!
