Wandering off about..

On Theming:
WordPress: 8 lines of code to tweak things, the hardest part of which is finding the Benjamin Moore site and using ColorPic because I am lazy and do not want to guess what ‘Yellow Rain Coat’ and ‘Autumn Purple’ are in RGB values. So sue me. Upload, refresh. Perfect.

Drupal: Install theme. Discover that it’s not really what I had in mind. Want to tweak things. Stare at css and php files and wondering where I left the roadmap for which things cancel out the others and which one is actually for real. Change one little thing. Thank God for Firebug so that I can find it again. Change other thing. Watch nice rounded corners go sideways, and wonder what I have offended to cause the computer to hate me so. Rinse, lather, repeat.

WordPress, you’re cute and funny and easy to play with, but why did you have to slack off in school?

Drupal, I love you and I know we’re in a committed relationship and all that, but baby, why couldn’t you see it my way? I will write you angry love songs, how’s that?

    I did not slack off in school. I chose to maintain focus on a single major instead of chasing after every new shiny obscure use case that came along.
