I decided that I would start to host my game blog on its own domain. It’s only been around for about three months, and it seems to be holdings its own. But to add to my ultimate silliness and over-ambition, I decided I’d teach myself CSS and PHP just to construct a theme.

I sort of had an idea how wordpress blogs work. After all, the header, sidebar, post area, and footer (and whatever other extraneous pieces I would tack on to it) are separate pieces that are called to the pages. Okay, that I understand. I even slightly know how to work CSS. Slightly means very slightly. But that, too can be worked out.

My problem is that I don’t have the mind of a programmer. I will laboriously sit through lines of code to find the problem. Because I have to. Not because I enjoy hammering away at closed brackets or HTML commands. No, I don’t relish debugging as my boyfriend does. I just want the finished product to look finished… and pass through the critical glares of all of those wonderful programmers out there.

Right now, I’m working through this silly problem where the footer has decided to take over the content area. Also, the content area refuses to match the sidebar length. And I think I’m having a problem with colors.

I suppose when I get the thing to work, it’ll all be worth it. Right now I want to throw my computer through many many glass windows.
