Blog Design For All

Exactly one year ago this week we began blogging with little direction and even less technical knowledge of this series of tubes known as 'the Internet'. We were so daft, in fact, that we understood a widget only as a unit of production and javascript only as the typeface on a bag of coffee. After 52 weeks and much googling, though, we've accumulated quite a bag of programming and design tricks, and we've recently begun to wonder if perhaps our readers wouldn't be interested in learning how to implement some of them on their own sites? From simple operations like removing the thin, branded Blogger banner from the top of your blog to more complex hacks like tracking outbound links to sites like your Twitter account and your sponsors' websites, we can help pull back the proverbial curtain standing between you and all those zexy blogs you've been swooning over.

SO, leave us a note about what trick(s) you'd like revealed, and, assuming there's enough interest (and we're fluent), we'll start spilling the beans in a weekly tutorial geared explicitly toward you, Gentle Reader of the Huzzah! logbook.

Dear Golden Vintage Giveaway!

********************************************************* THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED! Please see our current giveaway HERE!

SHAZAM! This week's giveaway comes to us courtesy of Lauren of Dear Golden Vintage, who's offering one lucky reader the fantastically-graphic, slim-fit vintage top pictured above. The dark blue and white poly-knit top features a zipper at the back neck and measures 32"-34" across the bust, 14" across the shoulders, 24" down the sleeve and 22" in length total. It would best fit a small, and makes a killer one-of-a-kind gift for those 'minor celebrities' in your life (me thinks).

your email address so that we may contact you in the event that you win) before Sunday,

July 25 at 10:00 p.m. PST. Good Luck!

10-Second DIY Petticoat Chandelier

We're not convinced that a romantic petticoat chandelier works in our spare, mid-century modern-ish living room, and, yes, we just slipped a probably-flammable vintage petticoat over a hot arc lamp in a lazy attempt to re-create the effect, but we really like the idea and imagine that it would look swell in the right room, with the right execution.

Honestly, Petticoat Chandelier, it's not you, it's us.

A Video Of My Dog Being Funnier Than Chelsea Handler

Sassy has recently mastered what can only be described as a 'courtesy pee,' or, a negligible release of urine designed to legitimize an otherwise inessential trip outside to sniff around and look at shadows. This is a short video of the sonic prod she's crafted in association with her pee racket.
