I decided to upgrade to the new Blogger layout templates. When they say you might lose some things they mean it. So bear with me as I slowly wade through my notes and see if I can restore links to sites, RSS feeds, and such.
The above picture started with me sitting in my office. Photographer Billie Mercer made the Mexican landscape image. During a discussion about the empty space I stuck myself in the picture. Another photographer, Frank Armstrong created the triptych. You never know what might happen to your pictures on the internet.
Hopefully that distracted everyone long enough for me to get Scooter in the Sticks back in order…
Steve, thanks for the heads-up on the NEW Blogger. I’ll stick with the old one until all is fixed. I still think you look great in this landscape!
I guess I knew there would be work involved but I could have prepared a little better. Once you press the button there is no going back.
The more I look at that landscape the more I like it. The one without me I mean!
Always a scary proposition when clicking the “OK” button. I like the new look. But I guess I would since I’m using the same template -:) Best of luck with the reconstruction …
… I think we spend more time tuning applications than blogging….
Guess we’re perfectionists..
Sorry, but the “Old” template was much more origional and rewarding to view. You’ve now become just some slightly different filler between slices of white bread. I always liked what you have to say and as a professional news photographer, thought your film and digital forays were well displayed in the old template. Can’t say if I’ll stick out the move. It’s a shame.
I think Rick is right. The old blue is the way it should stay.
I’m done tuning this beast…
well, dear Steve, I thought I had some SITS pages saved somewhere as in the past I used to save them for offline reading, but in the mess of my Linux box I can’t find them.
Luckily, I remembered that Google has a good cache feature, so you can easily browse your old website exactly how it was cached by Big G before your template crash.
take a look at here:
Cached SITS
you can recover text and images, if you need it. Dunno if, being logged in Blogger as the blog’s editor, you could also retrieve the stylesheet just saving the complete webpage…
ciao!

just checked: definitely *yes*.
just point to my link, tell your browser to show the page source and you’ll find the stylesheet between “style” tags.
What a wonderful background image! I love how the color of your shirt compliments the same color in the upper right hand corner of the picture.
New technology, especially in the experimental stages is always a huge risk. We hope you can recover your content as we remember when we first discovered your blog we went back and read every one of the posts and looked at all your photos of your vespa. Even back to the LX150. We have really enjoy reading your blog and hope you continue. What seems mundane to you is interesting to your readers.
