This will be a boring post becuase I have discovered-- after hours and hours of hard work--that you can't see all the cool things I have done to my blog or Cole's. It isn't really all that much stuff, it is only fonts. But I found these really cool fonts, especially for Cole's Blog...it is called Lumos and it is the font used in the Harry Potter books, so Cole was especially excited about using it. The only thing I can figure is that it shows up on my laptop when I log in because I downloaded the font onto my laptop. I guess that if your computer doesn't have the font in its font library it won't show up for you. So, if you would like to see the fonts I have used on my page you can go to: http://www.rogersgifs.com/fontmaster/c.html to download "Cratch" (it should be at the bottom of that page) and "Club Fluffy" (it is also on the same page). To get Lumos, so you can fully enjoy the Harry Potter page, go to http://www.geocities.com/carpesaponem/lumos.htm and download it there. Once you have downloaded the fonts (they come in zip files). Right click on the zip file to extract the files...put them in a folder where you will remember where they are. Go to "Start", "Control Panel", the folder that says "Fonts", "File--Install New Font", browse for where you put the font, it will show up in the top box, highlight it and click "Ok". The font will then be in your font library. Of course, you don't have to go to all this trouble just to see the things I have done, but I didn't want to let you miss out on the good stuff if you have the desire to see it!

Ok, I'll have you know I did this just for you. It took me 3O minutes to get it all right. The things I do for you.
Well, it is 11:15PM and I'm not about to tackle that tonight. I will set out on that challenge after a good night's sleep. I know you have worked hard trying to do more cool stuff...You will figure it out before too long. I like it when you figure things out, then I can just get the cool stuff from you...Yes, I'll share my tidbits of cool with you and anyone else who sees something they want to try. I have not done anything cool lately cause I've been spending hours and hours looking for cool templates....
Did it work, Melissa? I hope so. Thanks for doing it for me! AP, I am trying to find a cool template too, but that is hard work. I had a new one for about 30 minutes last night, and then realized all the extra work it would take to get it "just right" and took it off and went to bed! I still have the code for it though! And, I love to learn new things too, because it makes me feel like a winner!! hahaha
Ok, so I did it on my PC and it works, but the Lumos one is really hard to read on here. It isn't the same download I used on my laptop, but I couldn't find the same place I had downloaded it. I guess I will be changing the font on his page so it is easier to read. I would like for his blog title to be in the Lumos font, but his entries to be in a more normal font. In his template, I can't figure out how to get it to have more than one font, though. I did it on my blog page, but my template is a lot different than his. Any suggestions?
Well, I did check out the fonts last night and saved about 6 different Harry fonts. Then I tried some of them out on my Tiller's Tales page. Check it out. I decided to try and just change that page without getting a whole new template. I am changing the widths of the main post section and so forth...I am trying to figure out which part will move it away from the left side to give me a small margin...I am also going to see if I can figure out some stuff on frontpage for my school page. You and I will have the coolest school pages if we can figure this out.
