RE:vert Redeemed Diva, Re:vert!

Well, as you can see I have reverted to the very first template I ever used when I started blogging.

Why?

Oh, this is a gooder.

I thought I'd get all smart and sassy and mix things up.
And I found this.
Please click on it. It will really help illustrate this story.
You can click here. Or here. They both take you here.

Cute, eh! (I adore the multi-tab idea.)

I said, "Ohlala!"
I said, "Redeemed Diva, isn't this exactly you on a blog page? You need to download this NOWSERS!"
And so I did.

Only it looked very cramped and very ill fitting and not "Redeemed Diva-ish" at all when I finally uploaded my download of it.

So I junked it.

But guess what?
You can't just junk it, anymore.
You can't just hit the back button and reload your stuff.

Why?

Because Blogger has gone all pro and has all these big fancy-dancy terms that I don't want to read or learn about.

So I says to myself, "Self, let's go to Lena Toews Design Simply FabulousBlogger Templates and let's get us a new pair of shoes."

So, self and I head over there and we pick out a new little getup. One that screams "Redeemed Diva" (not quite as cute as the pink shoes one, but still a close second) and what do you know?

I screw that up! I can't download it properly. Every time I hit VIEW BLOG it says :

And that's it.
No blog, no list of groupies, no recollections of my former brilliant posts, not even a sign of my clever No Socks with Sandals Blog Improvement photo.

That's all it said:

Well, ok, there were some other words but I couldn't see them because I was too busy shaking my hands at the heavens and cursing in futility. (I don't really curse. I just love that line from Stranger than Fiction)

So the whole point is that I reverted.
That's right.
To save my mind and sanity, I went backwards.

Or as they say in marketing, I returned to simplicity.

Fine.

Great.

Simple is good.

Returning my roots? Even better.

Getting off this blog tonight? Better still.

Goodnight, blogland. Sleep well.
