while i had, of late, displayed complete nonchalance towards my work, my pioneering attempt at blogging, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. i had drafted several copies mentally, brewed a pot of fresh coffee to perk myself, and bookmarked a number of blogs for reference.
however, much to my own chagrin, my endeavors has been met with utter frustration. short from tearing my hair out, i spent 90% of the time glowering over the rim of my abuse-once-more-and-it's-gonna-break glasses trying to figure out all the techno babble.
unfortunately i had fallen behind times. it didn't occur to me that blogging turned out to be quite the puzzle that "the older generation would never comprehend". Did i belong to the bracket that checked "30-and-above" on survey forms? (i am not even 30 yet!) bah, i was about to spit at the monitor.
i decided to press on, though, and applied whatever remnants of html knowledge i still had on my new project. from time to time, i managed to see some glimmer of hope, and other times, i was just staring blankly at a screen that didn't reciprocate my tries.
after the arduous task deciphering the code for (god forbid) the umpteenth time, i was left with but one task: to choose the layout of my blog. the following are the winning (read: not-so-winning) entries:
nice, but all the entries are squashed under a single column.
this resembles a forum/obituary more than a blog.
i had problems toggling the column widths, i just gave up on this one.
finally, i settled with the current one. it would be what my friend, rex, might label "chic". now, is it?

chic much? have to check with REX :P
welcome to blogging. ;p
Good job my friend. Hope you can ride life's curve-balls into the sunset & let's cheer each other on. :-) xxx
The squished lines are most likely due to your stylesheet. I don't know which style you are using, but you may need to tinker around with it. If you are adding in additional "span" formatting, that might be the source of your problems.
To edit the comments piece, go into Layout on your Dashboard, click on the Blog Posts' underlined Edit and you can change how the comments appear from there (4th line down).
Hope that helps!
So... Are you into blogging now? Welcome!
Thanks CC, i will keep a lookout!
good start, welcome to the blogging world.
hahaha so much advertising on ur FB just to see one entry? Keep blogging dude! :p

nice effort.. these entries will become memorable when you look back at them years down the road
keep up the effort
if blogger is bad enough to master, go try livejournal. you'll prolly throw your computer out of your window. HAHAHHAHA.
