New Direction

Hello all,

I’ll be changing the direction of this blog a bit going forward. You may see a change in the visual style, too. After figuring out what value is, I’ve come to understand this blog differently. I’ve also realized that trying to fit this blog into any sort of a box isn’t working and makes me feel like I’m working for something other than the love of it. So, I’m going to incorporating more stuff I just want to share this blog, and it will cover a wider range of my interests.

There’ll also be more funny stuff here. For example, my favourite picture in the world right now is below. Why? Cause first someone decided to take a closeup picture of a mustache. Secondly, they decided to make it HUGE (click on pic and then click on the picture for a 2,592 × 1,944 px original). Thirdly, they decided to post it on Wikipedia for the Mustache article. This picture is encyclopedic! So I have a unique sense of humour, shoot me. :p

Technical Crap

Howdy. I just updated wordpress to version 2.5. This is one of those updates that if all goes well, you will not notice any changes. Almost.

I made a few behind-the-scenes changes and I’m about to improve accessibility and navigation (cause my site sucks for that right now).

I’m making these changes and I’m going to start marketing this site more after that.

Edit: I’ve added a Related Posts plugin, a Recommended entries section with a Random Post link and an archives page. Here are a few more changes to keep an eye out for:

• Update the search function. It came with the theme and it r crap. I think it actually searches for phrases and not keywords.
• More recommended posts on the right there.
• More changes to the ads, including one or two more adblocks.
• Email to friends link. Apparently there have been people sharing my posts through email and I’d like to make it easier.
• A few other random things. Some of these may later be removed. Have I mentioned that I really like WordPress plugins?
