New Template #2

I like this one too, but I think I like the white one better.  Here's the white one for comparison.  It's "minima" from blogger's templates.  This one is "rounders 4."  Thoughts?

Trying Out Some New Templates

But it's still Shedding the Fat-Suit!
I may try a few out over the next couple days before I decide which one I like.  My blog's one-year birthday is coming up soon and I thought I'd give it a little bit of a makeover for the occasion.  Feel free to weigh-in on the templates, opinions welcome!

I Totally Just Replaced The Keyboard On My Laptop All By Myself

With a little help from Dell.com for instructions.  And I have no IT background whatsoever.  It took $11 and five minutes and I feel like I have a new laptop!

My left shift key died what seems like forever ago, and the 'N' key bit it about a month ago.  Lately the 'A' key and another I can't remember right now were starting to go.  I ordered a new keyboard from Ebay for $10.99 and free shipping.  I was a little nervous about it but I went with a top-rated seller and crossed my fingers.  The keyboard came in about a week ago and I've been nervous about trying. 

Today I bit the bullet and memorized the instructions on Dell's website.  I thought they were too short to worry about printing.  I took out the battery and disconnected the power cord and went at it!  The faceplate snapped off and the old keyboard was secured with two itty-bitty screws.  Unfastening the ribbon cable was a little scary; I couldn't figure out the release so had to go look up the instructions again on another pc.  But I figured it out and here I am, back up to my 70+ wpm due to all keys being in working order!  Who knew it would only take $11 and a few minutes to fix something that's been a thorn in my side for months.  Yay me!

Have a fab weekend.
