hmmm ... it has been quite a while since I posted anything here ... oops?

(maybe they should move Christmas to a more quiet time of the year? :-)



btw, if you don't like the card - there might be a different one on one or more of my other blogs ... depends how many more cards I get around to creating and how many of my other blogs I get around to posting to this evening - lol

(there are links to some of my other blogs in the side-bar of some of them ... and they should all come up in the list you get if you look at my profile ;-)

(this "card" is a black and white/greyscale/whatever version of the one I have used on "thebestblogintheentireworld" (which actually - ISN'T ;-) ... er ... I guess this one can be for those people who want to colour it in or something? - lol - when I "play" with my photos to make cards, or whatever, or just for fun, I often end up with several versions of some of the images ;-)

I needed somewhere to put this ...

What? ... someone is reading this?

... probably not ... but just in case ...

if you are mad enough to be reading this you might also be wondering what it is ...

it is a logo thingy ... just like the filename of the image says - LOL

... it is actually for something I am messing around with, something I found in google adsense ... which, btw, doesn't seem to have made me any money at all (I guess that is because the few people who read any of my blogs don't bother to click on the adds - lol). It's a search thingy one can create, so people who visit your website/blog can do a google search and the results, and the adds on there, are more in line with the subject matter for your website/blog ... and there is space for a log up the top ... so I decided to put one there ... but it wanted a URL rather than having something to upload a file ... so now it has a URL - the one that points to it on here - LOL

... well ... it will have one once I post this ... at least I hope it will - at the moment the adsense editor wizard thingy I am playing with seems to think it isn't a valid URL ... and I guess it isn't if this post has not been published yet - LOL

a couple hours later ...

this page has already now been several different colours ... changing that was easy once I worked out how that 3 digit hex code thingy worked (normal html uses the normal 6 digit one ... the 3 digit one this seems to use is an abbreviated version - I learn something new each day - lol) ...
... while I was searching for the info about that, I found this nifty thingy -
http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/
and I have had a play ... lol

( hmmm - now I wonder how many colours will work on what coloured backgrounds ? )

moral of the story - don't find an online webmaster's colour palette just before your 12 year old daughter walks into the room !!!!!!

yes - she has been playing here with me ...

111 - would make a good main page maybe (or should I just use black?)
101 - is ok
303 - is a nice deepish purple for a quilt and/or crochet page
333 - is the one that matches the "silver" menu bar

abc - my daughter likes that
cab - ditto (think I did too)
bed, bee - she likes those too (too pale for my background)
(Ducatti?) 916 ... not exactly a motorbike riders colour ... unless SHE is into pink/purple

if I am working on a colour scheme for a page with a few different coloured areas or whatever, then that online thingy would be a good place to go back to.

... I think it is time I stopped talking to myself ;-)

and time I went to bed before dd (Dopey Daughter) drives me totally mad making up non existant very long words ...
(that bit of insanity started after I found a dictionary website to win an argument with her that "myself" was a correct spelling ;-)

*DD steals keyboard*

but my self as my daughter said is alsoight spelling!

*and I take the keyboard back*

but, while she had the keyboard, I still had the mouse - so I made her mess it up ;-)

Testing testing ... 1, 2, 3

Hi All,
... not that "All" is likely to be anybody yet ... but someone besides me might look at this sometime ;-)

- I created this blog because I wanted to experiment with changing a few things on my real blog - www.aykayem.blogspot.com - but I didn't want to mess it all up or anything in case I like it better how I had it! ... so - this blog was born ...

of course, me being me, what happens on here could vary between me never coming back and doing anything to it, and me putting all sorts of interesting things on here ... I guess only time will tell ;-)

now ... I had better "publish" this and see what it looks like

- then I can change it and see what that looks like - LOL
