Change is good?

Any of you who were viewing my Blog tonight, will have probably noticed that the style has changed a few times. That's because I was trying to change the template. I do like the look of the current template, but I've been considering switching the background to gray so that he photos will be easier to view. The bright white background tends to make the b&w photos appear more contrasty than they are meant to be.

So I tried a few different templates out, and did some tweaking to them, but I just couldn't find anything that really impressed me. Blogger has a few nice templates, but there aren't enough styles to choose from I think. I've considered switching to something like Movable Type, an excellent publishing tool for blogs, but I would have to pay for a hosting service, and it's difficult to get it set up.

So yeah, after battling with CSS code all evening, without much success, I've decided to switch back to the original. Maybe I'll do some tweaking and make some changes to it.

West Side Locust and Dirty South Locust were desperate for work, and a family friend offered West Side Locust work for him. Dirty South Locust did not find out for a while what exactly West Side Locust was doing for a living, but he would bring Dirty South Locust presents home, always avoiding telling her where they had come from. But you don't argue with a diamond bracelet...or at least Dirty South Locust didn't.West Side Locust and Dirty South Locust were desperate for work, and a family friend offered West Side Locust work for him.

In shaving the fire-hair they ( the The Locusts of Bloggsville )must make an offering for the spirit of the place according to custom. The hair that is shaved of is placed in a banana-leaf container with a Caladium or lotus (Locust Lotus same thing!) leaf laid in the bottom; sometimes flowers ( sometimes nails) are mixed in. In cases where things are done well, the whole is placed in turn on a stand. Then it is taken and floated on low used gum, or is taken away (by crows) and thrown whichever is convenient. The Locust who takes it and floats it must say, "We ask for a life of Koolness and happiness like the sacred Robert Persig," or something else (" I love cage fighting" ) of this sort. In the Grhyasutra text of India it is prescribed that the hair that is cut or shaved is to be hidden is a cowshed or in a pool or in a place near water or a gas station (shell). Floating the hair on the water is probably derived from this last Indian custom ( becoming ones own dentist ) ; it was probably inconvenient for people to put the hair in a cowshed as in the first custom.
