A few days ago I wrote about my overwhelming desire to mess with my blog.  I get this from time to time... I just can't help it. 

As a hot rodder, I like to tweak things.  When my wife sees a nice car, truck or Jeep, I see a platform to make something cooler.  When she sees a pile of junk, I still see a platform to make something cooler.  No matter what... it is a platform to make something cooler... 

My blog is the same.  I like it.  It is functional.  It looks good (I think).  It does most of what I want.  And yet... I see it as a platform to make something cooler. 

My website is the same, too.  I have a lot of time invested in building out the Joomla CMS to make it the way I wanted.  But I can't help but want to fiddle with it more. 

And I did...

I didn't do anything giant.  I didn't even change the themes.  I just tweaked what was there.  I have some more plans... I'm putting together a list for each site of things I still want to do. 

For LaneBailey.com, I changed to a light version of the Ikarus theme.  I got rid of a couple of widgets, and added a couple of others.  I also rearranged a few other things.  I can put the bigger changes off for a little while...  We'll see how I do. 

On GarageHomesUSA.com the changes are more subtle.  I retained the Akiraka theme from Rockettheme.  And the list of things that still need to be done is much longer.  I worked over the color scheme, changed the header image and rearranged a few items.  I also have set up a better schedule of when content will get rotated into that site.  It has been needing that. 

We'll see how well the little changes stave off the bigger changes.
