I'm not one to go on and on about how the devil is messing with my life, but I have to tell you that I've had one heck of a time getting this blog off and running. It kind of makes me wonder if the "enemy", or fate, or some other-worldly kind of force is trying to prevent me from blogging my way through Lent.

Seriously.

I mean, under normal circumstances it is very easy for me to find a blog template, copy and paste the html code and voila! A blog is born!

Yeah well, this time around it was anything but easy. The template that I had picked had wonky code that Blogger wasn't letting me save. It took me a while to fix that little problem and then, once I had, I couldn't make the color and font alterations I desired. After spending more time than I would ever normally spend on such a project, I had the page looking just the way I wanted it, so I wrote the perfect "kick-off post" only to have everything simply up and disappear.

Everything.

Gone.

Blog Template...gone

Html code alterations.....gone

Kick-off post.....gone.

This morning, I found myself back to square one, and once again I spent more time than I would have liked putting the template and code and kick ass post back together again only to encounter new problems.

Well, to make a long story somewhat shorter, I seem to have things up and running the way they should be.

(Knock on wood everybody....I think Satan's out to get me.)
