anti-climatic first post with editting failures described

so i'm trying to revitalise my old blog and i'm already experiencing an overwhelming amount of setbacks and frustration. i tried to simplify the format but for some reason the text is too small and in my old posts it's gone bright yellow which is almost completely unreadable. after about an hour of pushing buttons to no avail, i've decided that this is a good thing and that i should look to the future: a glorious future of black text on a white background with no capital letters. why is the computer telling me that i've spelt "revitalise" wrong? bah!
