it looks like motivation
god bless the theme makers. i started this lj up ...whenever i did and tossed a couple of colors at it that matched my then-default hand-made icon with the intent of making it prettier sometime.
and then one day i ran out of icons and thought "now that i dropped the cash, i can really make it pretty." (that may or may not be accurate, but i was given the impression that personalization came at a price) i also thought i would fill up those 35 icons as the whim struck me. so far i have the one. one $20 icon of a pumpkin and a heart that i used for about 3 days near halloween.
and that's just silly.
so today i started poking around the setup features to see how easy/hard it was going to be to start customizing things and discovered that much like wordpress and other popular blogging application, many people had done the work for me. i like the color scheme. i like the image on the border well enough, and it got messy when i tried to poke further and see if i could easily swap that out, so for now it's staying.
there should be more icons soon, too. i seem to get the itch whenever i start commenting, and for someone who writes HP fic exclusively at this point, there's an alarmingly small number of HP icons in my gallery. none, in fact.
edit: woo! there are sexy new icons now!
