It’s always nice having things just the way you want them. I think a lot of people give up having things done their own way for having things done in some manner that they find acceptable. Mind you, the scale often slides based on how much money you can afford to waste. Still, I think for most the drive is there. Some fleeting urge to see every aspect of your life custom tailored to fit your theme.
In that light, it’s comforting to me when I can slap together a web page like this one, and customize it to my liking with relative ease. Mind you, this is not unlike building a Lego castle whose gray walls contain a random red or yellow brick. One still settles for the available tools. Still, in an Ikea-esque manner, it’s nice to have a library of customizable software at my fingertips, and the power to alter any length of it with little knowledge or concern for the manner in which it was originally assembled
My thanks to WordPress, Coppermine, MySQL, and all the home-brewing theme & plugin developers for making this moment possible.
