Okay, so I’m jumping in and making the first post finally. I have 9 days left in the free trial and I NEED to know for sure I’ll use this thing before I start paying for it, let ALONE start letting anyone know I even have it. I finally figured out the banner thing at the top. Funny how if I had just thrown one together at the beginning and tried posting it I would get to the part of the set-up where I could figure out what size to make it. It so bothered me that in all the FAQ’s and oodles and oodles of how-to’s on this site there was nowhere that told you what size banner it should be. *sigh* But is anyone else bothered by the fact that the thumbnail images of the favorite cd’s area are different sizes? I know it’s a ridiculous complaint but I’m seriously considering picking new favorite artists just so the album covers are all the same size. How ridiculous is that!
I guess this wasn’t so hard. It’s not like I read anywhere in the set-up instructions that your first post had to be anything earth-shattering or sum up the whole reason for blogging in one post. In fact they put much more emphasis on naming your blog. Which by the way took me an entire night and I’ve already decided it’s completely inadequate. I have a tendency to get side-tracked easily (complete understatement) so I’m thinking maybe side-tracked should somehow be a theme for my blog. And I also have a tendency to ramble (as if you can’t tell from this post) so maybe ramblings should be included somehow. Bits of me rhymed so I decided to just go with it at the time but now it seems totally cheesy.
Soooo this is my official first post. I gotta believe even those who know me well are probably a little bit scared right now. Maybe if I get brave enough (or find some miracle filter) I’ll post a pic from last nights hair show competition in post #2. Laughing or smart *@# comments would be strictly prohibited. I’m pretty sure since it’s my blog I can set the ground rules. :)
Okay, now I’m thinking I should have done more research on this blog thing. Is there proper etiquette for finishing one? Do I say goodbye? Ta ta for now? Don’t laugh. I know those of you with blogs of your own have wondered the same thing. In honor or American Idol I guess I’m just going to say … AuntiePea OUT
you crack me up. Yes it bothers me the album covers are showing up different sizes – it upsets the balance of my universe. ;) Love the AuntiePea Out and yes please to hair show photos!
Well, you already know that you MUST share some hair show pics with me so I won’t go into begging for those here! I think your first post is great and so shawn… now i feel like mine was totally lame. :( Oh well. I hope we can keep these things up and going. I guess will just have to keep each other motivated. Love your banner – what a hip chic you are! ;)
*rofl* This made me chortle. Not laugh, but CHORTLE! AuntiePea out?!? HA HA HA.
love, me <>
This is super!! There are no rules, write however you want! :) I enjoyed this post and can’t wait to see the next…with photos, too! :)
I have a feeling I’m going to LOVE your blog- and it so bothered me too that i couldn’t find out how big my banner could be. Why can’t they just make it easy? Keep blogging girl, you’re doing great!
Congrats on jumpin’ on the bandwagon!!!!!!!
love love love it! oh shawn i’m so thrilled you have a blog — i haven’t gotten to chat with you recently and if that happens again i can just come here for my shawn-fix!
