Sure, I have been busy. Working a lot and spending time with family, but this is all no excuse. It doesn’t take that much time to write a blog post. Am I running out of ideas? No. I’m just not writing any of them down. I’m still writing posts over at BlackWeb 2.0, so obviously is just a case of neglect.
I should be ashamed of myself.
New Blog Layout
I had to change my blog layout. Wicketpixie is a nice theme with some nice features, but it has a few bugs on the back-end and I never did get it to render correctly in IE. I needed something clean and light-weight, so I went with Tarski (thanks mjc). It’s simple, but also has a few configuration options on the back-end.
I’m still tweaking the layout to make it most useful for you, dear reader. So, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please let me know. I’m all ears…well, not really. That would be gross-looking. I am open to your suggestions, though.
Google Friend Connect is Gone
As you can see, Google Friend Connect is gone from my sidebar. This may be a temporary change as I’m still trying to figure out it’s actual value to us. Do you, the reader, benefit from seeing your face in my sidebar? I had thought GFC would be a good way to connect with and promote other people. It seems that way on the surface, but it doesn’t feel that way in practice.
I talked with @chrisbrogan about it and what he said basically confirmed my suspicions. GFC doesn’t even allow me to link to you. If I’m going to promote you, I’d like to be able to do at least that. Still working on a solution for this that doesn’t involve me manually creating a blog roll, but I think that may be the end result.
New Topics to Come
I have blogged mostly about Tech and Productivity here, but I’m also an aspiring artist and I’m into health and fitness. Look forward to seeing more posts about Music and Health in the future. I think all of these tie into increasing the quality of your life and I aim to balance things out by broadening my content.
This blog is an outlet for me, but I would also like it to be a collaboration between us. It’s much more interesting to discuss things than to simply write them. Leave a comment, hit me up using my Contact form, or get at me some other way if there are things you’d like to see me write about or just to let me know what you think.
