Blog Issues

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Forgive the appearance of my blog at the moment. The company that supports my blog has switched programs and everything is screwed up at the moment. I hope to be able to fix everything but it seems like a daunting task of dealing with posts going back to February 2005….especially when every apostrophe has turned into a question mark and I have several hundred photos to resize and repost.
Also…it seems I may be stuck with this boring color-scheme…which I am none to happy about. I’m trying to get my banner back up and colors changed but not sure it’s going to happen.
I feel like the wind has been taken out of my blog’s sails, and am completely bummed with the state that it’s in.
Will update on my progress soon…
On a higher note…I just got back from the Dominican Republic (again) and am super tan and relaxed…if not chilly in the NYC fall weather. Yesterday: sun and palmtrees, 85 degrees. Today: Grey and windy, 55 degrees. Brrrrrrrr.
