headache

Update – I’ve completely redesigned, tossed out and remodeled the site since writing this post. Say a quick prayer of thanksgiving if you missed out …

As anyone who’s checked in here recently can tell you, I’ve clearly been trying to redesign my website.

It hasn’t been pretty.

But, short of hiring someone else to do it this will have to do. (I know, it’s still not too pretty.)

Adobe’s Kuler site has some great color schemes, such as the one above which I have valiently attempted to implement here.

And this one also, called ‘camping cyclist’. I like it because that’s exactly what I’ll be doing at some point this fall, camping and cycling, and the colors come alive for me. I tried implementing that color scheme here, and it’s quite a challenge on the eyes, not to mention on my design skills.

As for the ongoing name changes of the site, well, it is what it is. ‘Chronicles’ always seems to go with ‘of ____’. Such as , ‘Chronicles of Higher Education’, or ‘Chronicles of Narnia’. And I like the word ‘chronicles’.

So ‘Chronicles of Priestly living’ it is for now. It may be ridiculous, but it works. Kind of.

But it’s more like a series of ideas which theoretically should work very well, but in reality need a lot more fleshing out. And it’s busy and gives me a headache. So I’ll be reworking it until it gels. Sorry!

I have the feeling this is much easier than I’m making it; the goal is, after all, simplicity. But life and work beckons, and I am away to work on my Homily.
