  • Growing a New Skin


    I've been playing around with the look of my site.  (Duh!)  Okay, okay, that was lame.  I'm trying to figure out this whole skins phenomenon.  I really liked the look of my Autumn page, Thanks Fugitive, so this is no reflection on the beautiful work my sister has been doing.


    There is still a lot to learn and I'll probably be tinkering over the next several days.  Tweaking and twirling and moving things around.  Which is odd when I think about it.  I've lived in this house for almost 4 years.  In that time I have never rearranged the furniture except when I absolutely had to (as in the Christmas tree will only fit in the spot currently occupied by my couch . . . so if I MUST move it) and then when the need is over, I put the couch right back where it belongs and breath a sigh of relief.


    My Xanga home gets a new look every couple of months.  I'd probably change it more often but it takes me days to work out a new look (unless I beg until Fugitive agrees to do it) and those are days that I don't write anything.  Since the main thing I enjoy is the writing, I'm ready to get back to it . . . tomorrow. 


    So what do you think of the new look?  I'm thinking I'll call it "Purple Prose".  Catchy, iddn it?

  • Lovely! Light and cheerful. Looking forward to reading the posts in your redecorated room!

  • Ohhhhhh, I like it. Cool and soft.

  • Very good job!!

  • I really like it!  I especially like the way I don't have to scroll over at the bottom any more to be able to view all you have written.   Quilt-on.

  • Blog "furniture" is much easier to move than real stuff!    Love the new look... light and airy!  Springish??  That's okay with me... when it comes to seasons, spring rules! 

  • Nice new look, I'm jealous.  I don't mess with my page much... I can't even spell HTNL.

  • I love it, Purple is good, I love lavender too!

    We've been in  this house 15 months and I've already changed the  "Great Room" around once lol!!

    Have a great day eh!!

  • This is the room your mind lives in. Of course you change it often. And I like this one.

  • ****IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT****

    Hello. I am Xanga's Mr Fixit, travelling around doing good deeds for those in need.

    Today my message to you is about the very lovely Spot the Cat.

    This coming Thursday (the 26th) marks her one year anniversary on Xanga. Thus far, she has sadly missed out on the thrilling excitement of a mention in the Featured Content section of Xanga but I am appealing to you all to help her achieve just that before the end of Thursday.

    What Mr Fixit needs you to do to help is to pop on over and leave her some props. It won't take but a moment of your time although I do recommend you spend a little more time there getting to know her!

    So come on..when you've finished reading this blog, pop on over to Spot's and make her anniversary one to remember!

    And who knows, when it's your turn to be in need, Mr Fixit might be there for you too!

  • So far I've liked all your looks!  Quiltnchamelion. 

  • Ha! Quiltnchamelion!  I like that Patty!

    I like the new look too.  Purple is my favorite color.  Very relaxing and peaceful.

  • I like the new look but then purple is one of my favorite colors.  I cant afford to do the premium deal and my trial ran out so im back to the standard which wasnt that big a deal since I really had not played with mine to much.

    I always enjoy your blogs

    Belinda
