Fiona Apple and Blog Columns


Spanky mentioned something about Fiona Apple today and I just found her cds that I have and now I love her again! I dont know really where she has been but she has been on the low down since 1999.

All I remember about her cd is listening to it around Christmas time when I lived at home sitting on my floor with my white Christmas lights decorating my room.... I think I started listening today because I just put up Christmas lights in my room today ... lol.... reminiscing!

PS I finallyyyyy finished my holiday cards. Thank god!! Because I need to mail those out as soon as possible.

Have you finished all of your cards?!

A blog question....

How do I widen the two sidebar columns? I have no clue how to do that. Please help!!!

Ohhh I remember her. I LOVE her song, "Criminal". She also did "Sally's Song" for the 3-D Nightmare before X-mas I think a few years ago, but I got no idea where's she been. She needs to come back. She rocked!

Yeah for finishing your holiday cards! I have four more to do...

Guess what - I bought those boots you love for my sis for Christmas. In gray. She's gonna love them - thanks for your sound fashion suggestions!

No clue about the sidebar thing - did you search blogbuster? That's where I learned to adjust everything on my blog.

Hey lady- thanks for the puppy tips... keep 'em coming! From the sound of things, you are quite the puppy masta....

Also. Fiona. Yes. And. Amen... love that woman's voice. Her remake of "Across the Universe" is one of my all time favorites...

And... I'm a little blogger-challenged myself... so I've got no wisdom for you on how to adjust your sidebar widths... i always just google tutorials on those kinds of things...

Wow...that brings me back to freshman year of high school. LOL! I think that was the last time I heard any new song of hers played on the radio. I used to love her...and yeah, I always wondered where she went. :P

I'll have to check out some Fiona Apple--I haven't listened to her in a while!

I just found your blog--it was mentioned on quite a few other blogrolls, so I figured I'd check it out, and I love it!

About the sidebar widening thing: Go into your "Layout" tab, and click on "Edit HTML." This is where the HTML for your layout is, and you can tweak anything you want. I had to play around with it for a while to come up with what I wanted, but I like my results!

To widen the sidebars: In the "Edit Template" box, scroll down until you see this: "#outer-wrapper {" (or just use CTRL + F to find it. Under that, it'll say "width: ---px (the dashes are whatever it's set at now). Change the number to something like 950 or so. This will make it so that the screen will hold everything together. Mine is at 995px.

To widen the sidebars: "#sidebar-wrapper { "It'll say "width: ---px". You can change that number to however wide you want it. Mine is at like 200px for each sidebar, but my main wrapper (the center column where all the posts are) is also wider.

If you change the #sidebar-wrapper to be wider, it will only widen the main sidebar. If you want to change both, scroll down a little until you see "#left-sidebar-wrapper { " (it should be right underneath the one you just changed). Under that one, you should see another "width:---px" and you can change your width there.

If what you want is for the sidebars to move closer to the edge and the main section to get wider, scroll UP a little until you see "#main-wrapper { " and change the width listed there.

With the sidebars and the main section, you can only go so wide until it doesn't fit on the screen anymore. This is what the "outer-wrapper" thing at the beginning means. The total px of the two sidebars and the main wrapper added together can't be higher than whatever your outer-wrapper width is.

Play around with it for a while, and see what works for you. My widths are this:

outer-wrapper: 995px
main-wrapper: 590px
sidebar-wrapper: 195px
left-sidebar-wrapper: 200px

And there's some margin room for borders and stuff.

Let me know if that works, and if you have any questions. My e-mail is AshleyNKoch@gmail.com.

love ridden is on 'my' soundtrack. on high rotation for three years when i was trying not to think about the guy i could not stop thinking about. six years later, he mentions he's loved me since we met. we're now together. most importantly, i can listen to the beautiful tune without crying :)
