Nearly there!

Having changed my images from Picasa over to Photobucket, the majority of my new template seems to be working now, except for the background! I have tried editing the HTML, but don't know enough to get it to look right. If I take out a space in the code, I can get it to appear, but not with the posts or the header in the centre. Instead, they float randomly over the background.

I've given up for today as I am going cross-eyed from looking at code. For now, I have reverted to the designer's original code without my edits so that the background isn't visible, otherwise you, dear visitor, will be going cross-eyed too.

I think the Picasa issue was that the URL for my images was secure, which I couldn't seem to change. I changed the privileges and the security (who can viewe,link etc), but nothing seemed to work. Photobucket images are not via secure URL, so the problem was easier to overcome.

Now, I just need the blinkie images and the design credit images to work..... A gal's gotta have something to look forward to on a rainy day!

Oops!!

Sorry for anyone viewing a very bare looking blog. I am using a new template with graphics hosted by Picasa. There seems to be a temporary (hopefully!!) support issue with the compatability between Blogger and Picasa, and I am waiting for Blogger support to get back to me with an idea of what can be done. It seems to crop up periodically, from looking at the support logs, so hopefully they can help me resolve it soon as my new template is so pretty, I can't wait to show it off.

My frustration is compounded by very poor internet connection ever since I have had my lovely new laptop. Everytime someone else in the house, including our mobiles, picks up the wifi signal, my connection drops out. WHY ME??? I am fed up with rebooting the router to get things working again. Maybe I should throw a hissy fit and ban the rest of my family from accessing the internet, just so that I can finish setting up my new blog template and uploading photos.
