Dead Blog
Mood
Cranky
At the risk of sounding like I whine a lot, I'm going to whine.
This blog has been dead for entirely too long, as it is the main site and the place my domain links to I feel like I should do more with it. I really enjoy blogging when I can just chat about my day, or about the news, or whatever, but I just haven't felt any sort of urge to blog at all for simply months now.
So, I guess what I'm saying is I want to use this blog more but I don't know what to write about in it. (Aside from whining, that I can do easily and endlessly but I figure you lot wouldn't appreciate it.)
I haven't written anything at all either, story, poem or otherwise. Just the stuff for Somnium which I actually update on a regular basis. I also tend to get 50 hits a day with 100's of page views on that site, so that might have something to do with it.
I also would like to implement a link blog, but I'm not sure how I want to go about it. New tab on the main blog? I mainly want to do that because I want to learn about tags. (The same way I created a video blog to learn about embedded media, and a photo blog to learn about nested categories and sims 2 blog to learn about overlib pop-ups, and a book blog to learn about using amazon's xml feeds, yeah there's a pattern of abuse here.) Result? Five fantastic sites, well six, four of which haven't been updated since last year.
Promptu, the sixth, is forcing me to learn about faceted categories and I am currently very upset with the site because I can't make it do what I want it to do. I want three main categories (projects, stories, photos), I want sub categories of bi-months for the first two and maybe weeks for the last, and I want it to display entries under that of the submissions only and I can't make it do it with the current set up, so I have to start from scratch. I am actually concerned that I might not be able to do it at all unless I create three seperate sites and then php include them into the layout. Bleh.
My back-end is already un-wieldy. Does it make sense that I offer spell checking and the ability to make things bold and italic and insert links really easily to you shmoes in the comments and I can't do it myself? Stupid MT non-standards-compliant perl interface.
No, I'm not leaving MT. That smacks too much of work. The only interface I would ever change to would be one I write myself.
Note to Self: Get the damn keywords/emoticon thing fixed. That was probably another reason I haven't updated.

I don't know you, but I think your blog rocks. :)
Sometimes we need a break from things, and by doing that we rediscover the enthusiasm we once had.
Cheers.
