I have a skin idea that I want to create for my site and I can handle doing almost all of it myself. I need help with just one item though – using CSS to lay out the photos from Pixelog. If you consider yourself a CSS guru and you’re willing to help out, let me know – I can e-mail you the details on what I’m trying to do. Then you can laugh at me and tell me that I’m dreaming an impossible dream. No, no, really – I know it can be done, I just don’t know how to do it.

If you’re interested, please let me know!

I see all these people floating through my personal blogosphere, but no one is stopping to say hi. Come on people, say something. Anything. I’d even take some troll comments right about now. Amuse me. Make me smile. Say something. Anything.

If nothing else, leave a comment so I can come and visit you! Lets blow the lid off of the comment count here! Come on, make me proud!

Would it help if I told you about the sandwich I’m going to eat for lunch?

I *really* need to add this ScriptyGoddess Plugin so you can leave your RSS feed address too. I don’t have time right now though and probably won’t for awhile, so feel free to toss it in your comments or make sure it’s easy to find on your site. Newsfeeds… YUM!

I use Windows98 at work. I do not have a choice about using Windows98 at work. It is there, it is what we use, and that’s it. I just remembered reason #237 why I HATE Windows98.

I just experience not one, but at least three BSODs.

(That’s the dreaded “Blue Screen of Death” in case you wondered what BSOD meant.)

I HATE Windows98. There are no BSODs in Win2000. Win2000 = gooooood. Win98 = evil.

My Mom is considering shopping for a new laptop computer. Her desktop computer is several years old, and due for an upgrade. She doesn’t like how much room it takes up in her kitchen, so a laptop makes sense for her. My laptop is a Dell Latitude with Attitude, but it’s a business product, not something they sell to consumers. So she called me earlier to ask what brands I recommended for laptops. I’ve always been happy with the HP/Compaq family of laptops, but I figured I should turn to you. Here is your chance to share your tales of laptop joys or sorrows. Tell me what you recommend!

Hey, who needs ePinions when you can just ask your friends?

Edited: Windows laptop. Windows only. I know the iBooks look great, run well, etc. but I don’t think switching to a Mac is a good idea for her. I would have a hard time making that change, and I know that some of her favorite software wouldn’t run on a Mac. My apologies to the iBook lovers out there.

Don’t you just love it when I ask for your feedback? I really do want to know what you think. So here are a few things to ponder:

:: Cookie Crumbs: Do you even look at them? Did you notice that you can even comment on them? Do you subscribe to the RSS feed for them?

:: Pixelog: Have you looked at it? Do you link to it? Or do you just visit when I tell you in the posts to go there or if you click on a thumbnail at the top of this page? Would you like a skin here that featured the most recent post there? (Oops! The Pixelog domain got messed up in the move! You can access it for now here, although it doesn’t look quite perfect.)
:: Speaking of Skins, should I add more? What would you like to see? I know a lot of people have said they miss my old “Venice” skin, and I might bring it out of retirement – with independent living in la mesa across the top, just to confuse people! Any others you want to see?

:: Are you participating in Make Me Smile? Why not?

Thank you for participating in this survey. Who knows, you might be eligible for great prizes! I have some goodies I could give away here… plastic sporks and things like that!
