Update

Got everything working again, including breadcrumbs. So the blog will be staying like this for a long time. Thanks again to Ramani and Hoctro for their awesome hacks. Look a previous post for links.

New Design Again!

Ok I promise this is the last time I mess with my template, but I really wanted the 3 columns. Anyway I got most of everything up, except breadcrumbs, which is one of my favorites. Hopefully I can get it figured out with some begging to the designer. Anyway this will definately be the last time for a long, long time. I know you are saying that you have heard all of this before, but this time it's for real (I hope). Let me know what you think of the new blog set up. Have to give props to Ramani for the design of the 3 column minima template. Check out his website he has lots of great hacks, Hackosphere. I also need to give props out to Hoctro for the breadcrumb page set up, especially if I can get it working again. Check out his blog, lots of great hacks: Hoctro's Place.

Trackback Finally

I finally was able to get trackback working. Not that I did anything myself, but I sure can copy and paste pretty good. Anyway thanks to Logical Philosopher for not only getting my Haloscan comments working, but I now also have trackback. Thanks also go out to Peter at Utter Muttering for getting this working. Good job guys!

Ok, I was wrong

Okay so I didn't lose all of my comments. If you go to the articles page all of the blogger beta comments will show. If you go to comments from one of the main pages, you will see the comments or be able to comment with Haloscan.

Sorry

Just wanted to apologize to anyone who has left a comment. I switched to Haloscan comments because I am trying to get trackback to work and I lost all of my blogger comments. So if you have left a comment it's not that I didn't want them posted, but that I have changed my commenting system. Sorry.

Done!!!

Okay I got switched over to blogger beta without to much drama. I even got my banner back up with out to much of a hassle, but the ads and links were a pain in the butt as usual. Hopefully this will be the last time I make a change in my template for a long while.

Here I Go Again

In the unending cycle of trying to improve my blog and blogging skills, I have decided to switch from blogger to the new blogger in beta. In order to take advantage of all that they have to offer in beta, I need to switch my template again. The good thing is that they save the old template. The bad thing is that I may be starting all over again with my blog, banner, ads, etc.... So here I go again. Wish me luck.

So I've Been Told I've Been Procrastinating

Well I have been told that I have not been keeping up with my blogging duties. I could blame work, the college courses, or the news of our impending arrival, but in truth I changed my template and lost my ads, my banner, and all of my links. So I have dreaded putting it all back together. Well I'm back and think I have everything pretty much back in order. I will start blogging more on Personal Finance and Debt Reduction. I am also thinking about maybe joining some of the PF carnivals.

Missing In Action-

So I have been missing in action for a while. Not that I have given up on my goal of finacial freedom or that I have decided not to document my progress, but I ran into some problems trying to customize my banner. The main problem is that I pretty much didn't know what I was doing and made a big mess of my template. Thanks to some other web blogs I was able to find some sites that pretty much walk you thru creating your own website banner. So with a little trial and error I was able to make my own banner. Yeah! Though not the greatest, it is mine and I am proud of it. Hopefully my photoshop and blogging skills will continue to improve.
