Just for fun on a Friday
Cats: blogs, culture|This theme is Working Girl.
It could also be called Working Typist.
I have to admit that it does represent a certain typist of your acquaintance crunched over sitting up straight at a keyboard all day long. (Only my desk is not so neat).
A certain 11-year old daughter has been over my shoulder this week offering unvarnished opinions of my Wordpress theme choices.
She thought this rocked. So this one’s for her.
It fits with the typist in me and it’s sort of fun for a Friday.
Don’t cha think?

It’s fun and flirty and light-hearted. Nothing wrong with any of those things!

Coming this fall, Mike Newell returns to familial ground with his new film, “Working Typist.”
Let the rivers run
Gifted Typist: I have a brain for business and a blog for sin.
Harrison Ford: What? I’m sorry, you’ll have to speak up louder, I think my hearing aid is on the fritz.
On the plus side? This boots up the fastest out of all your page designs, but I’m sure I’m the last of your readers that are on dial-up.
On the negative
The musical notes on the right of the comments look like they are ready to boot any comment that they don’t like.

“familial”
A-hem, that should be “familiar.”

Hmmm. I like it.

HnP, thanks. It’s sort of growing on me
Barbara, that’s what my daughter said. I’m not sure I like my 11-year old daughter referring to anything as flirty.
WP, only you could get Harrison Ford into the comments on this post. I think this one could be a hit, a big hit.
WP2, typing sometimes gets in the way of great moments of creativity. All is forgiven.
Megan, at first I wasn’t sure, but it - to use your word - channels the theme well.

She has man hands. Good call 11-year old daughter.

Dick OMFG, she does have man hands.
But daughter got it right, I think

Now I feel sad that I missed seeing all the other themes.
This one is interesting - I like the colors. It’s so whimsical and yet your writing is concise, clever & witty, not necessarily what I would term “whimsical.” To me it’s somewhat like wrapping crotchless panties in pastel-colored Winnie the Pooh gift wrap: it’s hard to see the connection between the two things. Does that make any sense? Or did this just come across as insulting (which was not my goal whatsoever)?

“To me it’s somewhat like wrapping crotchless panties in pastel-colored Winnie the Pooh gift wrap:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
I’m dying over here.
HAHAHA!
Brilliant.
This exercise has been a good focusing tool to get me thinking about what it is that I do with this blog.
Thanks for your comment. I will think about it.
