Name:
Location: Longview, Washington, United States

I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

Clark Creek gets a makeover. Phew! I've been meaning to get around to modifying my template for some time now.





     In keeping with the spirit of the Internet, I started with someone else's template, read a bunch of tutorials and how-to sites, and learned a lot along the way. Today I figured out how to reference images in my title, put up an rss feed, control css layout, and learned about blogger-specific tags - all in all a productive day!

  • Is that blue sky behind your house? Isn't that misleading? You live on the west-side!

  • Hey, if it wasn't for Photoshop, us westsiders might never see blue sky!

    Actually, its been sunny and shirt sleeves weather all week. While running the lake yesterday, I saw one extremely hairy man wearing nothing but shoes, socks, and silken short short running shorts printed to look like old glory. I think that was a big on the extreme end of things, but it is nice to uncover a bit and get some vitamin D.

  • It was 25ºF when I went running last night in silken running shorts. I think that might have been pushing it too. I need some sort of neoprene condom, and then I'd be set. My legs don't seem to care about the cold.

  • For some reason, I wasn't able to leave comments on the site for awhile (?) but I'm glad I saved it all up for a big WOOT! Look at the CCB!!! Hot or not? I say "HOT HOT HOT!" (hopefully, not enough to blister your hands again...)

    Sweet design SD!

  • Looks great! I tried to put my house pic (in place of the stupid star) but it didn't really turn out. Maybe I'll try again soon.
    Good job!

  • Thanks for the positive feedback folks! I can't wait to redo my other blog templates now. KAP, and Mira, you both know I'll help you with yours if you like. Kieth, its a good thing you are surrounded by a circle of women who all quilt and sew. Maybe your better half could be pursuaded to help you with some custom jogging kit. JM, I'm puzzled that you couldn't post. I haven't heard any complaints from other corners. I read your latest post and am over here wishing you god speed.
