I have been working on blogger template testing, not for my blog, but for a friend's that I manage. I will be back posting to my blog soon. This project is consuming all my time. It's not hard to tell why I would never do this for a living or frankly do any work for non-family, non-friends. It takes hours...days...months sometimes. Maybe it would help if I knew more about what I was doing. I learn as I go. I had learned HTML and CSS for coding websites and I made layouts all the time for Myspace, but this blogger thing seems to be way more challening.
Blogger uses XHTML and I have never used that, plus lots of JavaScripts and Widget codes. The 18 hours I've put into this testing phase hasn't gotten me anywhere but frustrated. I do enjoy challenges...to a point. Trying to please the "client" and make the requests possible is not enjoyable when you don't know how. I know what she wants, but I can't make it happen. I've tried everything I know to do and even more that I just learned to do to no avail.
But no to ramble...I will be back...hopefully sooner than later because I don't have the time to spend on template making.
My brain is not great at this template stuff. I usually end up yelling for my hubby or calling my friend Michael to fix what I screw up.
ReplyDeleteI knew where the problem was, I just couldn't get it work right, no matter what I did. I should have just started from scratch and attempted to write my own layout..but that is even more time consuming, I think the problem lied with badly written codes from the template makers..i found one now that works and works great! www.plasmahermit.com
