Working On Blog

I’m changing my blog around a little and tidying it up. It’s been very plain since I opened it, and I’ve finally figured out what widgets are – sort of – so a revamp is in order. I apologise if any strange or arbitrary things pop up over the next few days, as I categorise and move things around. This will in all probability happen, knowing my history with anything remotely IT.

Considering that I only went online eighteen months ago and my general techno-dimness, I’m actually quite proud of myself. In the early days I made attempts at opening all sorts of websites and failed horribly. WordPress was the only site I managed to actually get a post out on, and as I move along figuring things out I’m glad that this is where I ended up. I haven’t seen any other sites that I like better anywhere. Talking of like and blogs in general. I read so many blog posts that I really do like but don’t want to comment on, but the sites they are on don’t have “Like” buttons, so I just zoom on. Also, my Google Reader has already disappeared, and generally the first blogs I read are the ones that pop up on my email notifications. There are blog posts all over the place on different readers and feeds and not enough hours in the day to hunt them all down. I always appreciate a “Follow by email” option when I follow anyone so I don’t miss out on things.

Going back over old posts to categorise some of them has been a bit of any eye-opener. Some things that I wrote had me blushing and then quickly deleting. This writing trip really has been a trip, and seeing how green I was is a bit embarrassing. I still am green. In another year or so I’ll probably read this and blush some more. And now, back to the widgets.
