Parentheticals Gets A Spring Makeover

Ta-da! In anticipation of my 2nd (woo!) blogiversary next month, I've finally updated the blog design. Today's look, featuring the Parenthetically traditional, eye-twitch-inducing color combination of purple, orange and gray (now how in the world did that become the Parentheticals trademark combo? I don't know, but it did) was brought to you by the fine folks at the Movable Type Style Generator. Actually although I *am* grateful that they make a tool that allows html feebs such as myself to do something vaguely original looking, I must admit to a fair amount of frustration at the pretty limited choices I had. If I'm going to tinker, I want to be able to tinker with *everything*, dammit! (Oh, if only I had *any* sort of Photoshop skills…ah well. Maybe once the kids are in college…)

Anyway, I'm going to live with this design for a while unless and until I get motivated to change it again. My long term goal is to add a nifty photo banner like Josh but as that requires Josh's help to actually accomplish, I imagine that photo banner will be added right about the time the angels are sounding the trumpets for judgement day.

However, now that I have accomplished this little victory, I'm going to give my poor aching eyes and pre-migraine poundy head a break and stop staring at the screen. How come nearly everything creative and fun I ever want to do involves my eyes? I'm going to be mighty mighty sad if I ever go blind…) G'night!
