Is it time for a change?

Having spent quite a bit of time recently mooching through the 'innernets' I have noticed a lot of veeery pretty blogpages happening. The feeling here at Trash Towers is this eucalyptussy green and purple is getting a bit old now. Perhaps I can make a New Year's Resolution to learn Html and jazz up my page.

Something to think on........

Far more importantly I have put my name down to join the 'Mmmm...hot cocoa swap'. The sign up is on Dec16 and I just wish I was sufficiently Html literate to gt hold of the button. Any suggestions?

I redecorated my blog last month - you just get the urge from time to time don't you? No html needed though - I just found a picture for the header and changed the colours on the page/fonts/borders. I shall look forward to viewing your makeover if and when it happens.

Take care :-) x; 7 December 2007 9:32 am
