Well as usual I’m up late at night and just kind of doing nothing. I’ve been messing around with the site look and layout. Adding this, removing that, and vice versa. I’m just trying to come up with a somewhat unique look that still has easy readability. I don’t want my posts to get lost in the mix just because I don’t use a standard display of them.

I’ve also been trying out new mini-blogger services like Plurk and I have even added it to my homepage here. Now even if I’m months, or years, behind on these social services/networks I don’t really mind. I don’t have to be the ultimate cutting edge when it comes to those things, and most of the time I’m not that far behind anyways. As a matter of fact I do believe there are people out there in the world (gasps!) that don’t even use any social media service. Too many of us take for granted and assume that the entire world is as engaged in these things as we may be, however that’s not the case. If it was, I’d at least have a greater chance, percentage wise, of getting some increase in traffic!

Besides the adding of the misc. widget here and there, I’ve been doing some other serious design overhauls. For example I’ve decided to do away with any type of ads really at this point. Again, not like I have enough traffic where it matters, and besides, I’m more interested in developing some reader/blogger relationships anyways. Which means that as I have been, I’m focusing on content and entertainment. I also really do hope that I can get back into the near daily posting habit. Hey, it’s a goal right? Got to at least have a goal if you want to accomplish anything, even if it is as mediocre as posting frequency.

Well I think that’s about it for me right now. I do have appointments on the morrow to attend to, so I am in dire need of rest. (Oh, I do so enjoy throwing around archaic phrases!) So goodnight to all and to all a good night.
