I’ll Think About Doing It Tomorrow
I’ve been doing a lot of things lately. And by “doing a lot of things” I mean “thinking about doing a lot of things”. The thing I’ve actually been doing is playing entirely too much WoW.
Three site-related things I’ve been considering:
1. Starting a book blog.
I’ve been pondering reviewing all the books I’ve read as well as posting about all the books I’m excited about, my library loot, my 2009 reading projects, and other book-related things.
My problem: The amount of books I read in addition to the amount of time I spend thinking about books would take over my entire blog and thus might push away people that have no interest in reading about my reading habits.
My other problem: Reading is the hobby that says more about me than all of my other hobbies combined. Pushing it out of this blog entirely is sort of like separating it from myself.
Possible solution: I could post a weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly wrap-up of everything important going on at the book blog as well as link reviews in my book log and project pages, etc. It’s easier for readers to skip over one to four posts per month than 66.7% of a blog.
2. Redesigning and recoding all of my fanlistings as well as my fanlisting collective.
This desperately needs to get done. It’s been on my to-do list for about two years, perhaps longer.
Plus I’ve recently been approved for the Ron Perlman, David the Gnome, and The Boondocks fanlistings so I need to create those as well.
3. Adding a new layout here!
I’ve designed a layout for my fanlisting collective that, honestly, I want to put up here instead because I really like it. It’s rainbow though. Not rainbow all over the damn place. Just…rainbow. I like rainbows.
I still really like the current layout, but it’s really old. I could always consider adding a theme switcher, though.

Losing Your Coding Knowledge
I’m not particularly fond of this layout. It was more of a temporary until I came up with something better. I’m in no way a graphic designer. Most of my interest lies within coding.
I stopped making sites about a year and a half ago because of personal issues and I felt as if I had met a dead end. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately trying to get my coding knowledge back up to how it was at that time as well as improve in the areas I was clearly failing.
I still have several pages that aren’t yet complete; my about me page is absolutely horrific at the moment. I’m going to spend some time working on that today, I believe.
I’ve been a bit busy lately as the other day as we got a new puppy (who seems to move far too fast to get a good picture with the only camera I have access to) and I have a terrible cold.
