Get off the Damn Soapbox

I’ve been far too preachy so far this week, so I’m going to take the rest of the week off from “deep” and “meaningful” posts. Instead I will simply post meaningless flummery for the rest of the week. I will try to avoid me-me’s (memes) and quizzes. This means I will post random pictures and rants that trifling bits about myself that no one actually cares about and have no deeper meaning other than giving myself something to write about.

Meaningless (and boring) drivel:

I am thinking about doing a total redesign of my blog. If I do, I am going to try to add a “skin” feature so you can use the backlog of old layouts I’ve had. I don’t know if I can add it to MT, but by Bacchus I’m going to try. I am thinking about actually making 9 “different” blog layouts, one for each of the muses (this would probably just be a rotating image and maybe coloring at the top… not sure yet). If I can get skinning to work, I will definitely have one for each because the thought amuses me greatly. I was also thinking about doing one for each of the seasons. (Any help that people have to offer with the whole skinning issue would be great!)

I honestly don’t know what theme I’m going to go with yet. I may just whip up a completely random graphic and go with that as the theme as I did with my Art Nouveau theme in the original layout. (How many people actually remember that one? heh) I promise that it won’t look like a trendy, girly fashion model walked all over it. And it may have something to do with pirates. Arrr!! This blog, as it stands was a test in simplicity. The background is a touch busy, but I think it draws the eye to the entries. I’ve reduced my sidebar to a rather minimalist state, but it still seems like a bit too much. I am thinking about breaking up the sidebar bits into separate blocks in my next design.

I also need to work on some graphics I promised Seraphim and then maybe make some stuff for Webkittyn. Then I will work on adding some zip files with my templates so other people can use them. I really would like to put together free templates for people to use. In my head I have some ideas for some really nice pictures and graphics, I just need to actually work on them and see if I can get them to work.

Skinning is cool I wish you luck! You might want to check this link out:

I can't wait to see the new look, I do love this green though.

I think you should go with something orange.

I'd like to see your angry fucking pirate here. Yep. I would.

And I like your sidebar just fine. You sound like the bunch over at IT2M. -grin-
