Blogging Woes: A Bad Thing Can Lead To A Good Thing

Did you notice?  THE SAVVY SHOPPER has a new look.  On Friday when I sat down to write, I noticed that Blogger had updated itself.  How you publish a post works differently now.

Hmm.  The appearance of THE SAVVY SHOPPER looked different too … and not in a good way.  Soon I discovered I could not pull up my old template and fix it.  Blogger now regards that old design as a “classic,” read “limited, impossible to tweak” template, which really means: Hey Jack (or Jill), you are out of luck!

And people, I was nearly in tears.  Over 3 years of content that now looked oh, so terrible!  What was I going to do?  Well instead of crying, I got busy on a new template, customizing layouts, fonts and colors.  I hadn't planned on sitting in front of a computer screen on Friday afternoon, first writing a series of urgent emails to Google, which essentially said the same thing: “OH, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE HELP ME get my blog back to the way it should look!” before accepting the inevitable and working on a new design.

And you know ... even when we are dragged into it kicking and screaming, sometimes change is good.  I hope you like the new look.
