new look

wow. i had no idea the world of blogging was so big and complicated. my brain feels scrambled as i spent hours googling templetes and xml and wtf is a widget? i found a couple i like, but i really want to create my own and now the harsh reality that i am just not that good is beginning to set in. i get pretty far and just when i think i'm done i'll get an error message or a message saying i have to delete all my widgets forever. i still don't really know what that means but it doesn't sound good. i am also thinking about moving my photos over to flickr. i don't like photobucket much - never have. so basically its a web overhaul for me. and i've been left behind technologically. maybe i should just give up and have a plain blog and not complain. but i want it to be pretty and i have to learn this stuff. man...why do i start a bunch of projects at once???
