(Their image is awful.) I loaded the xml file into the template modifier in blogger and awaited the transformation. My page was transformed alright. Transformed into a ridiculous piece of garbage.Nothing that I saw in the demo worked. Everything including my profile was erased in my eagerness to have my profile look like an iPhone. In my haste I did not create a backup of my template for blogger. Which lead to the day long process of creating a new online persona. My blog used to be called, "Rants of a Former Safeway Employee" and I was known as "Bag Boy" Chris. While I enjoy blogging about the obvious faults of the company (and I still will), it was becoming too hard to focus all my energy coming up with a Safeway related post each week, especially because I only go shopping about twice a month.
So I made this new template and online persona and from what my girlfriend said, "It is more me." I agree. You still can't see my face in my profile photo, but at least I am not wearing a bag over my head. I spent some time trying to make the blog more personal because I usually speak my mind or share about things going on in my life. This, after all, is my serious attempt of building readership and practicing writing for an audience. So, it is not an iPhone template, but I think it looks good.
I am going under a new blogger name now, "Comatose Chris." I think it works pretty well. Dictionary.com defines comatose as: (2.) In a state of deep and usually prolonged unconsciousness. I have no problem with that. Speaking of which... I am going to take a quick coma. Leave any comments about the new name, blog or layout. Anything is appreciated.
