Technical difficulties

Things look a little different around here, I know. I just had to choose a new template for my blog and I decided it was time for a little change. If you visited my blog anytime in the last 24 hours you might have found either lines and lines of code or a completely blank page! I have no idea what happened. Yesterday morning everything was fine. Then later in the day DH noticed that all that showed up was lines and lines of code! Weird, and while I was posting on a few message boards looking for help, the whole thing completely disappeared and was replaced by a blank screen.

I kept hoping maybe it was a Blogger problem that would work itself out, but this morning it was still blank and most of my template was missing. I went looking and found help on the Blogger site--apparently I'm not the only one that has ever happened to! To remedy the problem I just had to choose a new template and -poof!- everything was back! Blogger says that I must have somehow deleted important parts of my code (like, ALL of it) somehow, but I maintain that it was FINE yesterday morning, when all I was doing was using the link to Rebecca's blog. I touched nothing! I deleted nothing! But whatever. The good news is that I get a shiny new template. I've been liking the white ones lately--photos seem to stand out better.

My laziness served me well in this instance, because in choosing a new template you lose any customizations you've done--and I've been too lazy to do any! Hooray for sloth. Maybe now that I have all this white space I'll be motivated to finally read the instructions I have saved somewhere on how to make a customized banner up there at the top. I'll be sure to save a copy of my template if I do. Ironically, laziness my have saved my hiney, but industry will be rewarded with sorrow if I lose everything!
