Makeover Hell

Everyone loves a makeover, right?

“Not so much,” say Internet marketers. They never go as smoothly as anticipated. One glitch is wonderful. It beats 17 glitches.

I’d just gotten used to the lovely refreshing “green leaf” WordPress blog theme, when a colleague pointed out there were some things (like the footer links) that could not be edited. Such is often the price of a “free theme” for one’s blog. It may require obeisance to its designer.

So we started over. I’ll keep blogging while my colleague keeps slogging through code to get this site looking more respectable. Professional. As writerly sites should look.

Yet if we do not adapt to change, we perish. Vinyl gives way to tape, then to CDs, then DVDs. Film is losing to digital. But we relinquish these familiar accompaniments not so we can experience loss, but so that we may experience improvement. New tools don’t always work exactly as advertised, so every change is not necessarily an improvement.

Of this we can be certain: without change there will be no improvement.

What are you currently giving up, and for what improvement in your life?

    I do enjoy watching someone else’s makeover. It inspires me to see how I might profit from my own experimental changes–or at the very least, to take the time to do the things I already *know* will improve the presentation of my person.

    Lately a sense of ruthlessness has gripped my sorting. If it’s a shirt I hate but have kept, well, just because I don’t want to be wasteful…or shoes I’ve never worn because they’re not comfortable even though I love the red leather…or yarn I know I’ll most likely not knit–the ready options offer a jolt of dopamine! There’s always the trash. It’s easiest. But a good thrift store would gladly accept the red leather. And other people not only collect yarn, but actually manage to make it up into something joyful.

    Hmmm…the paring down makes me happy…but could needle felting take the place of some of that yarn? *That* would be a shot of both dopamine and serotonin!
