Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Kapow!

So, what do you think of the new template? I found it while cruising around in BlogLand, and thought the starburst was superhero-like. You know, sort of like the campy Batman series from the 60s. When Batman and the Boy Wonder would fight the evil-doers words like Kapow! and Zing! flashed on the television screen with starbursts in the background.

Well that, and I was sick of the old template.

This one looks pretty good, although on my computer monitor at work the text runs up against the edges. Of course I'm using a monitor that is a relic from the 1970s, so hopefully it looks kick ass on my shiny new flat-panel at home.

And I was happy to see the search box now provided in the sidebar, but have discovered that it works about as well as I do after three Long Island Iced Teas. Such is life.

I like it, too. I like the kapow a lot. But I haven't had a LI Iced Tea since high school--do people of legal drinking age really drink them? Actually, I should know, I used to bartend. Never mind. They do.

Nice clean look. And, like Renee I thought I was on the wrong blog.

Megan:
I haven't had a LIIT in years - but it was the only drink I could think of that would clearly illustrate that I can't hold my liquor anymore. My current drink of choice is raspberry flavored vodka with iced tea. Yummers!

Kristie - this template was idiot-proof. It was just a matter of copying and pasting the code. Not even I could screw up something that easy!
