Blog 2.0

I usually have a love/hate relationship with Blogger. Tonight is hate/hate.

All I wanted was a label cloud. I'm not too old to have the latest technology. I can't afford an iPhone, but a label cloud was supposed to be easy. I see them on all the cool blogs.

How hard could inserting a widget be?

But things started to go horribly awry very quickly. And now I have a new template (which I'm thinking is actually better, less cluttered) in order to address one set of problems, and lots and lots of labels, but no cloud. When I can get the html right for the cloud, the first letters of all the labels are cut off.

Humph.

[10:27pm: figured it out...so, THAT's what "padding" is!

Now my children and spouse can see where they stand next to topics like sewing and running.]

I tried to do a label cloud but finally gave up.

Now I'm considering moving to Wordpress, as it has some nice features.

But I am afraid.

Mine did that too when I tried to add my cloud! I finally just messed around with the text size as a workaround.
