Templates

Google Docs has all sorts of templates for various documents. I never use templates but today, being devoid of ideas, I sifted idly through them. There was one for blog posts and I loaded it to see how it performed.

It was horrible. The font sizes were huge, the layout was immovable and so far from my blog’s established layout that there was no way I could show it to you avid readers. Just take my word that it was totally unsuitable for my purposes.

I wasted so much time trying to bend it to my requirements that I would have been able to write three blog posts instead. If I’d had any ideas, of course.

In the end, I decided to squeeze out the one thing the template had taught me.

There’s a reason I never use templates.
