Housekeeping, home change, random findings

Once in a [very long time], I update my website. Blogging isn’t too bad, I’m fairly motivated about doing that, but changing the site itself is always a hecktic process to go through. Being your own worst critic means that it’s super hard to decide on anything.

Well, the time has come, and I did a few additions:

• (home) Now includes my twitter feed on the right.  A good way to fill up the page  I guess. ;)
• (home) Removed all the different sidebar items (except recent posts).  I like them enough to keep them on the blog, but I didn’t think they fit on the home page.
• (home) Changed the picture from a random family picture to a collage of thumnails of a bunch of the pictures that I have posted on here.
• (blog) Facebook comments are a go. Now you’ll be able to comment on here without having to do long excessive tasks like typing your name or e-mail address before you add a comment. Whether or not it will get any more comments: unlikely.  But still, it’s now easier to comment.  Just a note.

I read this interesting article about blogs: How to Dominate Your NicheWithout Apology.  I sometimes notice when other people see a need to always apologize for what they say before they say it, and make sure things aren’t said in a definite way.  It’s good to be sensitive, but I also don’t want to have to make everything I do politically correct.  So I don’t know how this will incorporate into this blog, but I’m going to be looking out for my own over-apologizing.  :-)

While I’m posting random links, I’ll continue with some more things I found interesting:

• Buying a camera?  Here’s a narrative on what to buy: Dear George
• Some insight on deadlines: Six Things About Deadlines

And finally, here’s a sweet light painting video that I found:
