You know how a thing seems like a good idea at the time??? Yup, I'm having one of "those" days.
I really make myself wonder about me sometimes, I can be so sensible and then with no warning just jump into the deep end of the pool and plan later.
About 11 p.m. last evening, I decided I'd make the switch to a Customized Blogger Template. Seemed like a REALLY good idea at the time, even tho my eyes were tired and I probably wan't thinking straight...LOL
OK.....I wasn't prepared for my Weather Pixie, bless her ill-dressed heart to vanish. Nor was I prepared to have my site meter and my Neo Counter "go missing".
I thought I read that when the new template appears, the old one is still available, but darned if I can find it anywhere.....anyone know about that??? I sent my usual plea for help to my friend, Tonya http://lazygalquilting.blogspot.com/ asking what to do. And her advice is good, but I can't seem to get to a copy of the HTML code to put my Neo nor my site meter back. Now what??? I've just sent a support plea off to NeoWorX, and I've found them to be excellent help in the past.
I had just added a HUGE number of links to more of your blogs, and those are gone! Didn't expect that to happen. Guess I'll be re-entering for awhile, bear with me. I've stuck back the ones I know by heart...LOL

I see that I have an encyclopedia of 'labels'....got clean that up. Guess that's what happens when you have never seen them as a list before...LOL, how embarrassing! I'm still no closer to getting a picture by my name or on the sidebar, but I'll keep working on it.
I have set up a second blog for Orphan Train(or block) Quilts, but have little posted there as yet. I am getting permission from gals that I know have one to share, so I can post them all in one place. If you have worked with orphan blocks and would like me to look at your top or quilt, just drop me an email, and I'd be happy to do that. I'm not posting the addy as yet, but will very soon. It will be a work in progress for awhile.
Actually seeing the new template on the new blog is probably what convinced me to take the plunge with this blog. Should have thought about it a bit more, first! But I'll survive. If I've learned this much in 2 years, there is still hope for me..*VBS* Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Hugs, Finn

Thanks for reminding me why I don't play with my blog. I keep getting orphan block ideas. Maybe...
I think you can just go to sitemeter.com and get a new one. I don't know how to do the rest which is why my blog is so boring. I am technologically challenged. Good luck.
What fun you are having with the orphan block quilts! It looks like you have ignited a spark with that idea and the doll quilts. I don't really have many spare blocks around or I might join you. Sarah seems to wind up with them and I never got in the habit of making practice ones. I guess that row thing I put together earlier this year is the closest I will come. There are some sampler ones around here but that is not orphaned blocks. I'll live vicariously for now. Bonnie's quilt IS a stunner!
Hi Finn
when in the blog dashboard, click Layout, then Edit HTML. Down the bottom of that page are 2 links - one is View Classic Template or something like that. Click on it and that should display your old blog template code.
well, you have some of your old template here...I think I will let others help you out on this one. Just too busy to fool around with mine right now! love the idea of another blog for the orphan train photos, I will keep a look out for when you post that link.
Hey Finn, I hear ya! I switched back and forth between old a new a couple of times because I wasn't sure I liked the new. Still not sure :) I wish we could still copy and paste into the template like before. I guess I want the best of both worlds! I have my old template saved incase I decide to switch back. Hope you get yours straightened out to your liking.
OMG Finn, I came on here to get my site map counter access from yours- only to find your is gone too!!
I have put out a plea for help, to Neoworx, & they have not answered this time either.
Good luck with your problems.
Oh my - I can feel for you! I consider myself to be very computer literate and very technically challenged at the same time, if that makes any sense. I'm so thankful I can call "help" to my kids!
I did the exact same thing late at night and I used the go back button but I can't tell you where it was...I ran back!
