New Blog Blues

This is my sixth blog. I have been planning it for months, carefully picking out background and fonts. I learned so much from my other ones, that I was looking forward to this being my mature, well developed, ultimate blog. For some reason, this one is just not coming together as I would like. I purchased the background, and have been trying to load it for 3 weeks now with no success. Looking forward to resolving all these discouraging issues and getting to work on something that I have been planning for at least 6 months!
