Frustrated Artist No More

For the past 5 days, I've been busy trying to create "my perfect template". I spent hours in front of the PC tweaking javascript codes. I tried putting as much protection codes to it. I used these protection codes: Disable right-click, disable highlight, disable copy-paste and disable browser cache.

First attempt:
I fell in love with this template the first time I saw it. =) But I encountered 2 problems: The background would take too long to load and it's not compatible with Mozilla Firefox. I tried converting the background picture into a jpg file because it was a gif. Unfortunately though, the designer locked the picture. *sigh* Although at the time I was editing the codes, I used Internet Explorer as my browser, I was still frustrated because I knew a lot of people used MF as their browsers. If you tried viewing it with MF, all the text and images except for the background were disarranged.

Since I have yet to learn how to make a code compatible with both browsers, I gave up this template after 3 tiring days of thinking, editing and typing.

Second Attempt:
I was browsing through some templates and the background of this template caught my eye, though it's really simple. Maybe it's the simplicity of it that attracted my eyes. :D Everything was going very smoothly with this template. The codes were finished in just 2 days and all I needed was to test it in both browsers. I was quite scared that it might not load in MF but it did! I had no doubts that it would not load in IE. I was just so sure. And then, I saw the text in my first blog entry. They were completely disarranged! I WAS SO FRUSTRATED I WANTED TO THROW THE MONITOR OF OUR PC! [I could really do that if I wanted to because our monitor's thin. >_<]

Imagine this: I worked at least 6 hours everyday in front of the PC trying to create "my perfect template" but after 5 days, I ended up with 2 separate long codes that I did not want to use. I feel like such a perfectionist, right now. =))

Actually, come to think of it, if you're just an IE user or a MF user, you could use one of my codes. ;)

In the end, I settled for one of Blogspot's layouts. As you can see, nothing in my layout is complicated. Every thing's simple, even the color scheme! But expect a new header in the near future! ;)

You might be wondering how I manage to be calm and cool after all the bad things that have happened to me lately. Simple: The TV cured me! I guess you can say my happiness is a bit low. :D

Hey! At least, I'm not some suicidal girl who dwells on every bad thing that happens in her life, right?? If I ever turned out to be like that, most probably, I'd never be introduced to blogging! 0_o

First Few Words of the Ultimate Noob

Greetings, strangers/ friends/ foes/ aliens! [pick your choice ;)]

Welcome to my small cyber space! I am new here in Blogspot so you can call me a noob. ;)

Anyways, I've had this account since last year but I forgot my password and I decided, this summer, I'd make it active.

Why did I make this account active?
1. I wanted to do something new. I've already done so many things in my previous blog in Multiply. I feel that my time there is done. I am practically starting from scratch here in Blogspot. Wish me luck! ;)

2. I felt so limited in Multiply. There are so many limitations in their features. Multiply does not accept widgets and you can not overlay their layout. I think those features are not present in Multiply because was not created for blogs alone, unlike Blogspot.

I'm already loving it here! XD

Things I love in Blogspot:

1. Got myself a customized URL[www.gel-e-bins.co.nr] Well, it wasn't Blogspot that gave that opportunity to me but still, I got a customized url. Typing "www.iamgelliebeans.blogspot.com" can take a very long time.

2. Got to experiment with Java and HTML! I missed editing and making codes! CSS is boring. :( Anyways, it took me 3 days to finish the code for this layout.

3. Used widgets! I'm new with the whole widgets thing but I'm getting the hang of it. XP

4. Blogspot has auto-save!!! Losing long blogs has always been the biggest problem for me in Multiply and now, I don't have to worry about it! =)

You can expect a lot of blogs soon! Possibly, long blogs too. ;)

Suggestions for topics, please?? I have a few topics in mind but I'm welcome for suggestions!

You probably have noticed my empty "link" box. hehe. That's because I don't know who to link so tell me who wants to be linked. I'm a generous girl. :D Just leave me a message in my chatbox or if you're too lazy, comment on this post! Don't be shy. I won't bite. ;)

HAPPY FIRST POST!
