My new blog skin!!!

Friday, June 13, 2008

Last night I spent countless hours scouring the fucking internet, I'm sure my eyes were bleeding at one stage, looking for the perfect blog skin for me! Alas, there was nothing that was particularly exciting. I liked a few, hated a few, and was fairly indifferent to most. It was some what deflating. There didn't seem to be anything out there that screamed "Manic Mandy you MUST HAVE ME NOW!!" - that shit me off! How dare the unnamed, anonymous blog skins creators ignore me? How could they not have made a blog skin specifically with Manic Mandy in mind? I ask you how is this possible? Then I remembered, that I'm just not that likable, so if there were a skin made with me in mind, it would probably be of me being eaten by wolves - suffice to say, I wouldn't want one like that!! ROFL

So instead I turned my efforts to find tutorials on how to make my own blog skin. If those uncaring, anonymous meanies out there are not going to make me my very own blog skin - despite not know me - then I was going to have to take action into my very own beautifully manicured (NOT!) hands. So after initially getting distracted by still getting porn sites while googling 'BLOG SKINS" I found a very easy to use, simple, idiot proof tutorial on 'Creating XML Blog Skins'. I suspected the 'idiot proof guarantee' meant this was the tutorial for me! Especially as this was the first one that I could actually understand what the fuck they were talking about.

So armed with my head buzzing with my new found knowledge, I set off to make my very own speshel (don't freak - I meant to misspell special - before any of you spelling nazis banish me to spelling and grammar jail!) Blog Skin. 'Easy Peasy', 'Simple', 'Idiot Proof' they said, right?WRONG!!!!! FUCKING WRONG!!! It is not 'easy peasy' - it isn't even in the came continent of 'simple' and it sure as shit wasn't 'idiot proof', or perhaps I am over estimating my very own idiot status.. Perhaps. But for arguments sake we will go with, they were very fucking wrong about their 'idiot proof' and 'simple' claims!

Though rather stoically I pressed on, with my bleeding fingers and eyes full of sand, I, vaguely reminiscent of the gladiator heroism from Ancient Greece, pushed ahead, trying with all the brain cells my years of drug and alcohol abuse has left me with, to figure this very NOT simple problem.. And alas, I had cracked the uncrackable code. Don't fucking ask me how I did it - but 5 hours, yes people you read that right, 5 very, very long hours later, I had made my very own Blog Skin!

Now, after I went to all this effort, I expect everyone to tell me how wonderful it is!
