Anon,
I made the background behind the post content solid gray so that the pennies don’t intrude into the text even when the window is very small. Is that better for you?

Everyone,
What do you the rest of you think? I love the pennies and the way they stay put while you scroll down, but do others find it distracting or annoying?

Try working on a thesis paper for a college course for three weeks, finally finish it and do the spell check. Then highlight the entire thesis to change the font size to one point smaller, and hit delete accidently. Without even thinking or reading the print in the small box that popped up, I hit yes … to delete it permanently. I cried, screamed, yelled, ran outside and begged the gods to please help me get it back …
Then a friend came by and saw me on my knees on the grass crying and beating my fists on the ground and asked what on earth was I doing? I explained, and he came in … and was the answer to my prayers. He knew how to get stuff back.
I still don’t know what he did, but at least I made an “A” in the class all because of him.
Thank goodness for people who know more about this stupid electronic contraption than I do.

No I didn’t see it, I was too busy brunching. But I was going to email you a week or so ago and ask if it snows in Texas, in May. lol

I like the pennies.

Because I have to minimize the page to a tiny box while at work, and the pennies wind up being right in the middle of the text. thanks.

This is exactly what I needed to read tonight, Kim! I’ve just had a blog makeover and am in transition to my new design. A little scary, lots of backups involved, and some bugs to fix. But it will all get worked out! Change is good – it’s just not fun to be in the middle of it when things don’t go smoothly.
