Hello, just a quickie...
I was researching this site on Technorati tonight and I found a review and then a comment that went something like this:

Two reasons I wouldn't ever use their templates:
1) They don't work with New Blogger.
2) The name of their site disgusts me. While it may be innocent, the double meaning of the site name, is one I wouldn't use if it cost me my life.

If they were to change their site name, and make them work in New Blogger, I would consider it. But as is, no way.

As this is the internet and my site that's in question, I believe I am allowed a rebuttal.

• I have not jumped head on into the "new" blogger way of life for a few reasons. First of all, I'm not a professional web designer. I'm the first to admit that I can't do it all. I am perfectly content with my CSS and html thank you very much (this page your looking at now is "Classic Blogger" and I think it's doing OK for itself). I think the majority of people out there are just interesting in writing about their everyday lives and don't need a website/blog dripping with widgets (ahem). I am reasonable at designing simple blog designs with interesting graphics and that's what I do. I don't pretend to do more than that. I hope some people out there are pleased with what I offer.
  
  
• OK, so what if my URL is a double entendre? Look I understand that people are different and some are easily offended but seriously.... you'd rather DIE than mention my website? That's seriously twisted. Seriously. Get a grip.
  

I chose the URL suckmylolly.com because I thought it was cute and funny. Also, I like the aesthetics of lollies quite a lot. And what do you do with a lolly? You suck it, silly!

So, in conclusion, if the URL of my blog offends you so greatly that you'd rather DIE and give up wonderful things in life such as chocolate cake, kittens and your very own family....before you use one of my templates, that's up to you. Remove the link back to me if it means that much.

Oh and while you're at it, go get a life and stop blogging.

ps: apologies for all words in this entry with double meanings. THE HORROR, THE ABSOLUTE FREAKIN HORROR!
