Frugal Babe Gets A Makeover

July 31, 2007 By Frugal Babe

Today, I hosted the Festival of Frugality – the first time I’d hosted a blog carnival.   I got to read lots of posts, and then ended up  sitting at my computer until 2am last night, putting everything together the way I wanted it.   For some reason (probably exhaustion-induced delerium) I didn’t publish the post when I was finished – instead I saved it and went to bed, intending to publish it first thing this morning.    

Of course, today was the day when my wordpress setup took a dump.   Not two days ago when I wrote about our car, or two days from now  when I’ll likely write about something equally important.   No, it did it today, when I had a post with 50 article links and a freakin schedule.   The only time  in the history of the blog that I have to  get a post up on a particular day, and nothing’s working.  

I tried all the things that I could think of, then I had a little tantrum and asked my husband  to look  at it (he does all the web design for our business, so my little blog  probably isn’t the biggest problem he’s had this week).   Anyway, he got everything fixed, but we had to pick a new  design for my blog – the old one was fouling up the works.   So now I have a simple daisy – my favorite flower – and  I love it.    

Hope you like the new look!

    I know how frustrating it is when computer-related equipment doesn’t work. Last night Basil had a meltdown because our color printer was making weird sounds and not feeding through the paper. After he yelled and swore at the gods, I got out the manual and we went through all the steps to see what was wrong. Turns out he had shut the door that the paper comes out after it’s printed. No wonder it wasn’t working. He asked if I was sure I still really wanted to marry him. I told him that no one else would troubleshoot his computer for him so I guess I’d have to.
