New theme

I installed the Cutline 2.1 theme tonight (the author also has one for WP 1.5+ but makes almost no distinction between them until you go to download one). It’s nice and plain and slick, nothing fancy. I like that. I’m looking for a header image right now but I should have one or two good ones from our trip to Morikami last weekend. I still really like Unsleepable 2.0 but since it’s no longer maintained (and hasn’t been for some time), I’m worried that it’ll break once 2.6 drops in a month or two.

And this marks post 200

December 29th, 2007 • blog

I’ve now hit post #200 on my blog, from a fury of posts in the beginning to slowly trickling updates now that my life is a bit more hectic than it was. Unlike many bloggers who learn things about themselves the more they blog — typically because it’s their first blog, this is probably my 5th — I haven’t really learned much about myself from blogging this year other than how to write better and hopefully, more clearly. My other blog about music reviews has sat stagnant for 3 months now and I plan on changing that in 2008, due in part to wanting to write more about music and the hopes that 2008 actually holds more worthy albums than this year did (by no means did most of the music I picked up this year suck, I’ve just neglected to review most of the good stuff). I did receive some demos and mail orders but in an effort to escape the doldrums of being chained to a PC for living, I’ve just stopped writing about music.

Here’s to another 200 and to more frequent posts.

Be gone, ye ads!

December 19th, 2007 • 2 comments blog

I’ve finally run through my time with current big box ad networks and have removed all ads from the site now. AdSense pulled in a whopping $3.20 over a number of months and AdBrite managed to wrangle up good $0.51, all at the expense of ugly ads and slowing the site load time down.

Now, if TLA will ever approve me…

The tweet debate

December 18th, 2007 • 2 comments blog

As you can see, I’ve gotten a lot more use out of Twitter lately, I don’t really know why. I love Twitter Tools as it’s the easiest segue between Twitter and here, keeping information concurrently up-to-date however, it puts a quandary before me: tweets are filling up my blog with short content, is Twitter-to-blog worth it? I liked the original integration for use when I was out on the town and wanted to write something short, I could just Twitter it and Bam! it’d be here. Well, now it’s here and so are the rest of my tweets, looking kind of like a one-sided conversation.

I think I’ll push my tweets to a sidebar widget and see how that goes.

Almost to 200!

10 more, err 9 more, posts till I finally hit 200. Discounting tweets, this is #191!
