Why on earth, when I go into my blog template at: http://www.vaspersthegrate.blogspot.com and add some text to the right hand column, e.g. Seminar Update, when I save the template edits, and re-publish the entire blog (not just the index)... ...a previous version of my blog description (the

I would suggest you shift to WordPress [ http://www.wordpress.org ]. I recently started using it. It's very light and the best thing is, it is written in PHP. You can import your Blogger entries too. Here, recently I imported http://www.website-content-writer.com from Blogger to Wordpress. It took

I'm afraid that I will have to go along with Steven on this one. It looks like some gushy teenage girl's idea of a personal site (sorry, non-gushy-teenager-type ladies, no offense intended), the kind of site she would refer her AOL buddies to visit while maundering in a chat room. The color

Steven, Thanks for the response. I think if you viewed it as a teenage girl or woman who still liked to experiment with make-up it would be a perfect example of rudy's assertion that content is the key. Like you I find it garish, but don't agree that there is only an action way of presenting

Scott, Thanks for taking the trouble and stying with it. Really my comment to Steven describes (what maybe I should have put with my original question). I think both you and Steven are responding to page design as seen by middle age and post middle age men like us. We have no insight into the

Steven, I don't see your comments as nit-picking, and I agree with you about the garishness. What I was noting was a) an experienced surfer dwelling at the site, and b) the ease of use. Joseph, I'm sure you know what you're talking about as far as what you like about this site in question.

Hi. Just putting my 2¢ in as a woman! Personally, I also find the site colors somewhat garish and the background color kind of hurts my eyes, but then again, I'm slightly under 40, and might not be their target audience. I'm not fond of the design, but I must say it's unique. I know you like the
