I think I've finally settled on a design...
It took me several tries, and I apologize to those of you who found what appeared to be a completely new blog each time you checked it this past weekend. I was experiencing a severe case of Schizophrenia Blogiosis, which I invented, self-diagnosed, and treated with a combination of Diet Coke, cold pizza, Erykah Badu, and cascading style sheets (that's patent pending, kids--hands off). I'd say it was successful, but only time will tell...this could just be remission.
My wonderful friend Vanessa (my other half, the IG)is using her groovy artistic talents to turn me from anonymous blogger girl to animated blogger girl. I'm not going to post a real photo, because, as a very good friend wisely noted recently, "anonymity is a superpower these days." (And he knows his superpowers...)
Of course, I suppose I shall be forced to shed my cloak of invisibility and reveal my secret identity at the upcoming DC Bloggers Happy Hour. Oh, and here's a question for the seasoned vets in the audience: Am I going to have to introduce myself as "Alejandra from Sent from My Dell Desktop"? As if I don't already have enough syllables in my name... And do people go by their real names--or by their blogger names? That would actually be kind of cool...kind of like a superhero conference...except with laptops instead of costumes...
I'm such a trout...(that's web-speak for newbie, you much cooler than I readers)

Schizophrenia would be to change the color of the layout based on your mood...hmmm...
Well, technically it would be perceiving color change when no actual color change had occurred... and if those color changes went hand in hand with phantom auditory hallucination you could be in schizophrenic business.
Thanks for the pop psychology, boys...
Don't thank me, thank Wikipedia... they made this possible. Bless their hearts.
People introduce themselves at the blogger happy hour thus: "I'm Alejandra from Sent from My Dell Desktop." Basically, you got it right!
Blogger Happy Hour veteran here. E-face is right about the introduction, especially if you're semi-new to the blogger public. I refer to bloggers both by there real name and blogger name, depending on the circumstances.
When a new person arrives and meets me, I may go around the room (depending on the size of the group) and say "That's [blogger name], that's [blogger name] and that's [blogger name]", but once introduced I refer to people by their real names.
In the past there have been nametags, but I have a feeling Kathryn won't be going with those this time around. Then again, I'm not going to be there on August 4, so she may try to pull a fast one on me...
