My blog will be altered by Karissa. I have also been caught in her web of style once more. Though I have toyed with the idea of changing my blog to Woman Meets World for the millionth time, I have decided to retain the title and make the changes speak for themselves.
Though I would like the unabashedly pretty styles of my blogging pals, I am also using my blog for professional reasons too, and I really don't know how receptive the Trib would be to a background of dancing ponies, however graceful and/or beautiful they may be.
As for my concern over the Tribune Review, I am hoping to be enlisted in their ranks as an news intern for the summer, and I am listing on my resume this site and my work for the Setonian. I am really stressing over the cover letter...
Anyway, back to the style...Karissa will be tinkering with it soon so be prepared!
EDIT 1/17/05 8:54pm: Hello all; Karissa here... Amanda, here are your ponies. A picture to suffice that pony craving you may have living inside ;)

Just a little joke :)
And now I'm off to work on the -real- layout for Amanda... Seriously.
LOL! Really, I cackled at the thought of dancing ponies... Oh, wow, that's going to take awhile to get out of my system :)
I'm on my way... Blog Fashion Police and Rehabilitation team coordinator Karissa is on duty ;)
Posted by: Karissa at January 17, 2005 8:11 PMI've played enough for today--time to sleep on it. I put things back where they belong, since I don't have anything concrete (or nearly pretty (*erhm* professional) enough to leave up in construction...).
Will return :)
(I know I'm tired when it takes three tries to get a smiley face right... wow.)
You kill me, Karissa! I love the dancing ponies! All hail the dancing ponies...on another site. :-)
Posted by: Amanda at January 18, 2005 1:26 AMLOL, I couldn't resist... Really, when I read it before I laughed so hard that I knew I HAD to do it...
I'll have to get dancing ponies on someone else's blog now, you know that? But until then, it's a professional Girl Meets World that's on the top of my "to-do"s.
:)
Posted by: Karissa at January 18, 2005 12:09 PMWow. Did I start a trend or what? I'm glad I asked sooner rather than later because pretty soon Karissa will start charging!
HaHa!
Amanda-What else would be expect from you other than professional? ;-)
Tiff
Posted by: Tiffany at January 18, 2005 12:20 PMI wanted a professional feminine blog, but touche, Tiff, yes, I do highly value professionalism.
Posted by: Amanda at January 18, 2005 12:26 PMI'm with you Amanda, I'm all about keeping professional . . . wait a minute, who am I kidding, have you seen my website??
Posted by: Diana at January 18, 2005 7:54 PMYes, I have seen your website. Ducks can be professional, though. Given them glasses and you have some of the world's most recognizable execs. :-)

LOL!
Yeah, and when we go back to class, if anyone wants serious changes done, I might have to charge. I mean, really, this takes a great deal of time... Lucky for you all that I love this junk (and that I love my friends)! :)
