Quest for the elusive template

i was browsing through the internet and i found a lot of good blogs which were very snazzy,glitzy and simply awesome.I looked at my template and thought i could add a few more stuff to the blog so that it is more attractive to the non existent reader (if you notice this blog has only about 90 views of which 85 are by me, checking for spelling mistakes etc after i post them.So.. i am not pretentious about the blog)There were some with really cool backgrounds and awesome fonts.I couldn't believe the amount of time and energy the bloggers spend.So i decided to add a bit more glitz to the blog by 'adopting' a new template and discarding my good old[?] MINIMA (which by the way sounds like the name of my previous servant maid :D)

Did i succeed??? OBVIOUSLY NO..!! Else you would have been looking at a flashy new template with Monica Belluci in the back ground flaunting her heavenly curves (Seriously..i tried to get this back ground but in vain). It turned out to be a tougher job than i thought it was.First i had to find a nice template(this is the easy part as google helps out :D ). Then comes the part where i have to change the back ground to a picture of my choice.It took a while for me to find out how to do that.In order to change the picture i needed an account in photo bucket,then upload the picture in 17" size,the copy the URL,paste it in the Script,copy the script and paste it in the template after choosing "revert to classic style".

Did i get the desired result??? NO..the picture i chose was of a very small size so the blog became spliched. Half of it in the picture and the rest in a blank background.I started to miss my MINIMA...By the time i realized i couldn't do it, four hours had gone by.

I was a bit hurt by the entire episode,being a IT graduate i couldn't change a simple HTML code to suit my needs.A small voice inside me creaked for the entire night and i couldn't sleep.It hurts when the bubble called ego is burst.But hey what the heck...i am happy with my MINIMA(i meant the template ;) ) and i dont want to cluster my blog with bullshit(incidentally isn't this blog about bullshit??? Ed overrules the argument).If i want to see Monica Belluci she is always there for me in my desktop...why again in the blog..?? Reassuring myself that this is trivial issue to lose faith in myself,i went to bed...then i remembered something i read when i was six years old.....the story of "The Fox and the sour grapes "......

FUCK YOU CONSCIENCE....i am still writing about it....and i will definitely learn how to custom make a template...!
