If you’re visiting this blog directly and not via Google Reader, don’t worry. I’ve changed the design a little to address some problems I had.
Home page
It was weird to have my home page as some sort of summary. After getting used to it, I didn’t like it that much.
In having only the four latest entries on the home page, it lent this sort of headliner quality to it. Like a real article needed to sit behind each title. I just want to blog a stream of consciousness and not fuss over making things look official and important.
Big fonts
Don’t get me wrong, I still love big fonts. But the font was so big and the column was so narrow that the smallest sentence would occupy four lines. Decided to scale it back. Bonus: it’s now harder for people to read over my shoulder.
Links
I stopped linking to as much stuff. I think it’s because I have less of an attention span so all I ever click on are stupid photos and joke videos. It gets tired. What I’ve really been aching to do is to post a link and write one or two paragraphs on it, something that my previous workflow didn’t allow. Hopefully, I’ll start doing that now.
Comments
I was getting huge numbers of spam comments. I was getting periodic flash floods of around one thousand comments. To the credit of WordPress and Akismet, all of these comments were caught. But I was always worried that a legitimate comment would get lost in the deluge. To rectify this, I’ve turned off comments on all old posts. Too bad, so sad.
