If you’ve put on your reading glasses (or taken off the blindfold) you’ll notice we’re dressed a little differently around here today. No. It’s not a result of the shock I’m still reeling from – my old friend Amy<\/a>‘s recent admission to knitting a cunning hat and NOT sending it to me *sniff* – I’ve been planning this for a while and, of course, enlisted the shiney make it pretty<\/em> skills of Luna<\/a> from over at LunaStone Designs<\/a>. The grand plan is that I’ll rotate back and forth between my old look and this new one based on how cranky I am on any particular day.<\/p>\n

Like my recent blogroll cleanup it’s time to clean out the plug-in closet. After all, when you’re trying on a new outfit it only takes a few extra minutes in front of the mirror to check out the fit of a few new plug-ins. There were many losers but the one that will likely be sticking around for a while is pageear<\/a>. Not only did Darcey<\/a> introduce me to pageear<\/a> he also happily handed over two if his graphics so I could also advertize a few good causes. Unlike Darcey I lazily used the plug-in<\/a> option instead of the manual code so I don’t have the option to automatically rotate the graphics and links when you change pages. Instead, I’ll just randomly rotate the charities\/fundraisers as I see fit.<\/p>\n

For the time being I’d like to call your attention to the Royal Canadian Legion’s Troop Morale Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now that I’ve spent all this time dressing up my blog can you guess what I was supposed to be doing today? In a few hours we’ll be heading off into the great white west for an awesome mini-break in Jasper<\/a>. This is the first time I’ve been to Jasper without the RV and dogs and I’m looking forward to days of leisure. As always, I have reading and assigments due for classes (this week the psych class) by midnight Friday. Perhaps I’ll even finish early this week.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: The pageear plug-in works beautifully when the old design is loaded but I’m still working out how to get it to function properly with the new design…<\/p>\n

UPPERDATE: I’ve worked out special arrangements with Amy. I’ll soon be the owner of a cunning hat. Shiny!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
