Technology And Other Bummers
I've been slowly working through my list of improvements to my website. (Thanks again, Coronavirus! Yet another project I didn't know when I'd ever get around to.)This week I'm working on creating a Favicon!
Why, only last week I didn't even know what the hell a Favicon was.* Now I'm attempting to morph into a Super-Geeked-Out-Genius-Favicon-Hacking-Computer-Engineer-Girl (...or, whatever you call someone who's actually qualified to do such a thing) and create one of these doohickeys.
So, what are my qualifications for this job?
Oh, you know...the usual: I watched some YouTube videos, read some online articles, cyber-eavesdropped on a couple of random blog forums...
Hey, how hard can it be?
A Vision That Makes Angel Choirs Sing
What I do know is how to make pretty images. “So, I had that going for me.” (To quote Carl, in "Caddy Shack".)**
I knew that making my vision a reality would be a cinch because I already had the image exactly in my mind.
And that image was “a beaut', Clark. A beaut'!", to quote Clark Griswold's dad, Clark, Sr., in "Christmas Vacation".**
A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing
You’ve probably been wondering when I'd share more of my fabulous recipes and helpful household hints. Well, it's your lucky day. Here's a little recipe you can try out at home:

Homemade Disaster
Ingredients:-Just a pinch of knowledge
-14 pounds of your favorite brand of "Big Genius Visions of How Something Should Look!"
Instructions:
Agitate ingredients until blended into a confusing mess, fold in masses of 'Here's How I Do This in 426 Easy Steps' posts from random internet 'influencers'. (...who I believe are, secretly, as clueless as me.)
Mix aggressively until you can't stand to look at it anymore.
Serves:
Thousands! An entire army of innocent bystanders can dine on heaping helpings of crazed rantings, such as: "This Blog is Stupid. I Hate Everyone, and Everything!"
Pairs nicely with:
The most high-octane booze you can find in the liquor cabinet.

* In case I'm not the only one in the universe who didn't know the term for this:A favicon is that tiny icon image that appears next to a web address or on the bookmark tab by a website's name. I heard it looked more professional to have one...so, heaven knows I don't want to miss out on an opportunity for my blog to ooze professionalism.
**I don't know why battles with technology cause me to over-quote old comedy movies, but I couldn't seem to stop myself. For this I am truly sorry.
