Presenting The New, Improved, Basically Almost Exactly The Same Bad Mother!
*tap tap tap*
Is this thing on?
Can you hear me?
(Wow, it feels like I am standing in my underwear onstage, peering into the darkness beyond the lights. Which, yes, is weird. And more or less awkward, although not entirely unpleasant, you know, in the abstract.)
(Wherever you are out there? I am imagining you in your underwear.)
Okay, look, so I know that this isn’t really all that big a deal, in the bigger scheme. I mean, this blog mostly looks the same, sounds the same, acts the same. It is, basically, the exact same blog that it was yesterday. But! I gave it vitamins and scrubbed all of its underparts (well, this lady did, but still. I asked her to) and gave it, like, its very own i.d. and now it could totally go into a bar and buy a drink and flirt with the bartender. Look! It has tabs! An About page! Which are basically like perfume and jewelry for a blog. This blog is now all grown up and come-hither!
So, you like?
(Oh! Oh! I also have a Feedburner link, right up there on the left sidebar! I HAVE BIG GIRL PANTIES NOW!)
Right, so. Where was I?
Oh yeah. You like?

Yes, much better. Blog domains that don’t match the blog name? EEEEK. This is awesome. I always forgot the proper domain and would automatically type herbadmother.com and it wouldn’t work. This is great. And tabs are essential. Happy for you.

Ooh la la! I had some troubles with the feed on the blogspot one so now I don’t have to remember to type in your blogspot address, I can add you to my feed reader!!! (Not that I would forget to drop by anyway
)
Also, you totally got that (expedia) “dot cooommmmmmmm” song stuck in my head with your tweet announcing it.
Lub yoo.

I think you forgot the “I Heart Backpacking Dad” tab.
Apart from that slight, I give this site five out of five thumbs up.

The tabs are doing wonky things when you hover over them. I checked in IE and Firefox. Yes, I’m always bitchy like that. Sorry!
Marinka Said,
June 20, 2009 @ 9:25 am
Yes, I like. I hope, however, that you’re not going to do one of those “spot the 10 differences between my old site and this one” because then I’ll have to cop to being senile.
Look at me using “cop” and slang and all. I’m bad. or Phat.

Love it!! I love the green… so happy! Maybe it’s supposed to elicit some other feeling… or no feeling at all… but it’s making ME happy, so that’s all I care about.
Fabulous, dahling!

It looks fantastic.
I need to get someone to do that for me. I have no idea how to get Facebook and Twitter links..or basically any other kinds of links on my blog. I am HTML stupid.

Looks like a fun place for a Dumb Mom like me to hang out. I have nothing to compare to (since I think this is my first time here; I think)m but clean underpants are always good, right? I mean what if you get in a car accident…

Great new looks!
*BUT* for some reason my work place blocks this new address. “Mature contents” is the reason, if you wonder.
What a shame.
Good luck
