I brist...Yikes... kind of a sore subject for me ... I bristle when told that I'm a workaholic and that I choose to do this to myself ... but I'm generally outta the house by 6am and home after 8pm, everyday. (I do get overtime so that's really a major motivation but am definitely planning to ease off the OT to have some more time at home.) <BR/>Then I take work home over the weekends because I have no life. Ok, arguably I have no life because I schedule myself to do work over the weekend, but .. well, what else am I gonna do? Fret about finances, yes, that takes up a lot of time. But basically I don't want to get bored at home because I see a direct correlation between not working and spending money, versus working and not spending money. I find that the PF blogs are great for keeping me occupied and making plans for my finances but that's just feeding the neurosis, I think. On the other hand, I can substitute working on the blog and following up on the cool suggestions for making fun money for all that odious OT that isn't as fun as it used to be.Revanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293868300535734672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29579128.post-1153762699337716602006-07-24T13:38:00.000-04:002006-07-24T13:38:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Revanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293868300535734672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29579128.post-1153337835715018492006-07-19T15:37:00.000-04:002006-07-19T15:37:00.000-04:00thanks! it worked!thanks! it worked!My Pink Purse and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10423022630144742035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29579128.post-1153333164833692192006-07-19T14:19:00.000-04:002006-07-19T14:19:00.000-04:00The stuff you are looking for is in the top part o...The stuff you are looking for is in the top part of your template - it looks more like regular code, not HTML, it's all spread out.<BR/><BR/>The things you want to change are the widths in pixels. Most people have at least a 1000-pixel-wide screen so you should be under that somewhat.<BR/><BR/>The first time this appears:<BR/>@media all<BR/><BR/>there is a thing that says width, you can change the number of pixels, I have mine set to 900. That is how wide the entire white space is. <BR/><BR/>The second time you see @media all:<BR/><BR/>Underneath is there is a #main section and a #sidebar section. Play with those widths - main is the width of your text and sidebar is the width of your right sidebar. Mine are set to 500 pixels for main, and 250 pixels for sidebar. So there is about 150 pixels in between the sidebar and the main text since the overall width is 900. If when you look at the blog page your web browser is wider than 900, anything outside of that will show as pink on your blog. Play with the widths a little and use the preview to see whether you like it - just make sure that the main width plus the sidebar width is at least 50 pixels smaller than the overall main width so that they don't bump into each other.

I use to be the same way too. I would work as much as I can because I'm young and know I won't be able to do it later on in life. I use to tell myself that it's a good thing i'm always busy, otherwise I would have use those idle hours to go shopping or drinking. This way, not only am I making money, I'm saving money. <BR/><BR/>on a side note, i'm having a tough time changing the look of my site. My background is similar to yours, except the pink (green on yours) margins on the left and right side is wider. Can you give me tips on how to make that margin narrowers, like yours? just give me the html line of code u use and where u put it.

I didn't want to attend my high school reunion let alone plan it, but it gave me something to do while I was waiting on others to get their acts together (or shit in one boot, which is a phrase I just learned from my current manager)!Andi @ udandi / Lunch It Punch Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632195945628113453noreply@blogger.com
