A public apology.

Since my recent post concerning color changes in our blogs has obviously caused a bit of a of trouble, I am posting this apology in response.

I originally replied to a request by a friend to help her with color changes on her blog since she had seen that I was able to perform such changes on my own site. I never intended to have it go further than that, but I thought it over and decided to just copy and paste the reply into a post on my own blog. After having posted the information on my personal site, I received a request from Dr. Jerz to please post the information on the NMJ site to share with other bloggers. Once again, I merely copied and posted the information into a post (all this means is that the original format and wording never changed). I reworded the first few lines of the post for NMJ, since my post no longer concerned the friend I had helped in the first place.

I never intended for this to be claimed as my own, and I regret that I did not use the name of the person that helped me to do the color changes in the first place--Anne Stadler. Anne helped me not more than three weeks ago to understand what it is that needs to be manipulated in order to have a brilliant, attractive looking blog instead of the drab, boring one we're provided with in the template.

Although I never intended to hurt, offend, anger, or forget anyone in this whole ordeal, it comes to my attention that this is what has happened, and I apologize. I hope that, having explained where I've come from, we can forget this and extend thanks towards those responsible for the delightfully colored blogs that are sure to spring up due to the hard work of Anne (and the original perseverence from Amy Slade, who taught her).

I am sorry, Anne. I hope that you can forgive me.
