Recent posts? Ludicrous!
Ok, so the fad is to have on top of your sidebar in your fancy two-column styled blog a category called “Recent posts“. Do you realise the sheer redundancy of this addition? Isn’t your posts on top of your main column the most recent posts? Having that category right next to your main post list is pushing it. Look at it, then look at the headers on your main column, then look back and forth until you realise it’s just a minature version of your main posts column. So you still want to use it? Well, fine. As long as you use it appropriately, like having it appear on a single blog post page, or on your search page, or anywhere but the index itself, it should be perfect. Now, with this knowledge added to your miniscule brain, off you go into the world; reborn!
My archive is the twilight zone
As my blog has passed its initial 10 posts it can be said to you: This blog is two blogs in one! “But how?” you might ask. Easy, I use excerpts for fun and profit. Engage in my little online social experiment here, or else the little online social experiment will engage on you!
It’s just you
After a recent discussion at work over an artist’s perception of what he or she creates, and the general viewer’s perception of the same artwork, we came to the conclusion that if you feels something just isn’t right, it might just be you. Why? Because no one else has seen what you have made before you show it to them. If you are bound by time-restraints and technical limitations, of course you will never really be able to fully show your vast creative potential, but if you feel like you are outputting something sub-par, it’s just you.
It’s just you.
Zero maintenance site
Less dicking around with pretty images and the style of the site itself and more focus on content is what I always strive for. I think this design has come that way pretty well, but of course nothing is perfect. If you see anything, want to suggest anything or just generally want to let me know what you feel about this design, please let me know! I am open for any input be it good or bad or whatever. Thank you very much in advance!
That rotating image feature
As some of you probably have seen on my site before in its previous incarnations, I used to have a rotating image banner. I dropped that because even though it looked nice, it was pretty useless and wasted screen real-estate like mad. Anyhow, this post will show you every rotated image I used for its last incarnation, beginning with this:
