It’s 1030pm. Ok, 1025. I should be getting ready for bed (because I’m 50 and it’s way too late for me) but instead I’m sitting here watching ‘Vintage OTH’, listening to the kids hack in their sleep, and thinking of how to better the blog.
First off let me just say Blogger is steppin it up! Good grief. I get bored pretty fast with the way things look. I have been half searching for a new WordPress Theme (FREE por favor) that I like as much as the one I have now…that has a side column. I want to fit in my fatty pictures but at the same time have all the fun stuff that is currently banished to the bottom of the blog all front and center to the side for everyone to see.
No such luck.
Then I decide to check out some of my favorite blogs to read and see what they use. 98% say BLOGGER at the freakin bottom.
Now that I’ve made the ‘big move’ to WordPress, Blogger has to go get fancy on me. Geeze.
I’m very picky. Finding a theme I like is like choosing a soul mate.
I need a custom header, fatty pictures, side bar, and it all needs to be plug and play. I don’t do well when I have to be techy.
Anywho. There are some things I plan to start up next month like sponsor swaps, give aways, and a weekly link up. Maybe. I also plan to actually participate in OTHER weekly link up stuff more often. Mostly photo stuff I’m sure but my friend Jessica over at Sweet Green Tangerine does a pretty fun Book Chat every Thursday! Each week there is a new book related topic to blog about then link back up with so everyone’s blogs are all in one happy place. Love it! Except it turns out I don’t read as often as I thought and I don’t so much like typing unless it’s 1034pm and I should be asleep. And even then I just tend to ramble.
BUT, this week is fun. This week’s topic is Funniest Book or Character. I totally know what I’m going to post about already. Finally one I can actually feel like I know anything about!
So yeah. I have a million (not really) page hits and like 2 commenters (Hi Mom!). Thinking of ways to get this old blog running and more interactive. Not so much just me photo dumping. But who knows what will happen fo sho. Just keep in mind that I have PLANS for April! Big ones. And I’m pretty sure I will actually follow through.
For once.
Maybe.
And because I hate a post without a picture…
So fun.
Goodnight
ha ha ha Hi (Megan) I love the roller derby pic!! I am so happy you are having fun with it!! I love ya
Yay for blogging!! And yay for doing the book chat this week!! And I love the derby…that is awesome. I don’t do the photo blog thing anymore. I stick with what I know and that’s books & music. I have blogged a lot more since I got to Alabama and I’ve been bored so it works. And really it’s not about the followers to me, it’s really about the friends I’ve made. I’m rambling. Can’t wait to see what you have in store!!!
