blogspot & flickr hell

Well, I managed to not get a post up yesterday, because I spent God-only-knows how long trying to fix my template. Talk about a meltdown.

I finally got new graphics done to update the look, so I uploaded them to Flickr. I then went (painstakingly) through my template code replacing all the graphics links. Once the preview looked good, I hit the save button.

Then I waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Then it finally said it was done, so I hit ye olde "view blog" link and voila! Nothing but the background.

WTF?!?!?

I go back and look at my template code, and the problem is apparent: only about the first 40 lines are there. An incomplete upload. Lovely. Naturally, it was the first time since I started monkeying with the template that I didn't save a copy on my laptop. So I had to go back the previous version and re-link everything and re-tweak everything. I finally got it all done a little after midnight.

Then the image links didn't work this morning. Freakn Flickr! So now the images are relinked and everything looks right again. For now.
