What I’ve Been Up To
April 15th, 2010 at 19:58
Here’s a preview of what I’ve been up to, lately. I haven’t posted in a while, mostly because when I get annoyed/frustrated by something, and I have the power to do something about it, I can’t sit by and not do something about it.
Case in point, I’ve been growing increasingly dissatisfied with my current blog theme. Sure, I loved it when I first designed it, but now I’m discovering that it really lacks functionality, and I’ve been dying for functionality.
So, here you have it: my new blog theme. I’m still tweaking things. Alright, let’s be honest … I’ve been tweaking things for over a month. Make that two. Mostly, I keep changing my mind about small, nobody-else-would-care-or-notice-but-me elements.
Everything is currently solid in my mind (which is why I’m sharing), except for the footer. I can’t quite make up my mind about how I want that to be. And really, that’s what’s taken up most of my “tweaking” time. I pull up the design in Photoshop, stare at it for a while, browse the web for some inspiration, stare at my design in Photoshop again, then close it. That’s usually how it goes.
But … I’ll figure out what I want to do, eventually. Then I’ll slice ‘er up, crank out some code, and put this baby together. Oh, and I am most definitely installing a captcha, this time around. I’ve been getting a crapload of spam comments, which is terribly annoying.
So, yeah … feedback would be nice!
In other news … CM over at Vegan in Bellingham is organizing a vegan dining out night, where we all get together and try out a restaurant, which we may or may not have been to before. I’m super excited about it! Getting to hang out and dine with other vegans, connecting, and I’m sure having discussions about how veganism is going for us, talking about issues, I don’t know … all kinds of stuff, I’m sure. Sounds like we’ll be trying out Bloom, a relatively new and vegan restaurant in downtown. Sweet! Haven’t been there before, so I’m excited.
Anyway, that’s it for now. Let’s see if I can get my butt in gear and finish up my new design.
