A Little Rosie on the Side

Posted by on May 6, 2009 in Cat Obsession, Experimental, Macro, Monochrome, Photography | 9 comments

New version of Photoshop, new pictures, and, as it turns out, new template. The last part was an oops when I broke my previous template and figured it was time to find something I liked better. After all, getting it set up shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Okay, I’ll wait until you stop laughing.

That’s better. Anyway, I’m not totally satisfied with this template, but it’ll do for now until I get better at CSS, some poor soul on the WordPress forums comes to my rescue, or I find something else I like even better. Or I could finally bite the bullet and move to Pixelpost. That option would mean losing all of my comments and redoing each and every one of my posts by hand. Tasty.

Oh, yes. And about the picture. That’s Rosie. First thing I did when I got home from work on Monday was open my shiny new box of Photoshop CS4 and get to work. And might I say, WOW? (Actually, WOW!!!) A little time, a guidebook, a few of Pioneer Woman’s actions, a lot of patience, and way too many photos of cats and flowers later and, well, I’ve started to get a handle on the program. Yippee.

Now to catch up on everything I wasn’t doing while tooling around on Photoshop and WordPress. Ugh.
