Is this thing on?

I *think* I got all the kinks worked out. Looks like the Blogger template I had picked out was not properly coded in some places. Found a way to use Blogger templates, but still add on some fun color. Grabbed my header and background from Shabby Blogs. They had a bunch of super cute backgrounds to use too, several that I really like for the upcoming holiday season. I'll let Halloween and Thanksgiving pass before I switch to something more festive though. I'm not thrilled with the header right now. I wish I could make the background of it transparent instead of white like it is now. I'm sure I can, but haven't figured out the how of it yet.

ETA: Figured out how to center right after I posted. I used this site for direction in case anyone else didn't know how to do it.

Comments should work now! I can click on them myself, but that doesn't mean much I guess since I have full reign over the blog. I checked to make sure everyone could comment setting wise too. I had those settings right, so it really had to be a code error in the previous template. Whoever had created it tried to put a place where you'd click to comment, but it wasn't correctly linked to actually allow any comments. I was wondering why I was getting messages on Facebook, or comments there, rather than here. Not that I mind that, but I know I usually comment right on blogs I read rather than going back to a link on Facebook to comment.

Looking much better from a full sized screen too. It was hard to get a real feel for what was going on using an iPad or our Dell mini laptop. The small screens were cutting things off. Much easier to do all these changes from the desktop.

I suppose that is enough procrastinating. Need to finish up stuff around the house since we have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow with it being Halloween and pay day. Off to a costume parade at the school in the morning, grocery shopping, home for naps, and then off to trick-or-treat. They are calling for rain though, so hopefully we don't get too wet (or even better they are wrong!).
