WeaveRing, the sequel
I’m in! O happy day! Received word that I’m a part of the WeaveRing web ring today! Yippee! Like getting voted in to the sorority…no more sleeping in the dorm! Thought I’d try it out…see how it runs. Saw the list…I’m No. 36. Clicked ‘Next’. Yep, up comes Charleen’s Fiberblog, No. 1 in the listing. Okay, go back the other way…uh oh. I…can’t…believe…it…
It’s like going to the prom and seeing someone with the exact same dress! The previous blog on the ring, Lizzie’s Yarns, is a Blogspot as well…same template design…same lower case lettering in the title…even ‘yarn’ in the name! What am I to do? And I come after her in the WeaveRing listing. Everyone will think I’m a ditto of her and pass me by! Can I change places in the queue? I’m willing to drop a few spots!
Aaaargh.
Am I being shallow? Probably. I like my chocolate brown-calico-simplicity theme though…it’s an extension of who I am and was thrilled to use it. Look how well it coordinates with my ’simple yarn’ pic! Hmmmmph.
Okay, I can either change my template or live with it. Well…I guess if an entire meat industry (US pork producers) could create an advertising campaign on being the ‘other white meat’, then I suppose I can be the ‘other brown blog.’
hey sweetie, guess how shocked I was to click next and there you were, same as me! hmm I likes me brown blog too but hey, we can live with it a while, I am kind of fickle so maybe I’ll lose my brown and move along to something more dramatic.
But then, they do say that great minds think alike…

Well, as your niece and someone who’s grown up in the digital age, blogs/online journals are so commonplace for me that seeing similar layouts/color schemes/etc. happens all the time.
I like the way it looks (especially with the new background), but it is always fun to play around with things.
