New Attitude

Yes!  You’re in the right place!  I know it looks very different, huh?!   It’s all schmancy now.  Hope you guys like it, and please let me know if something doesn’t look right, because I have probably missed something.

Thanks to A Non-Smelly Non-Pirate OCD Guy at mynutsitch.com for pointing out that my comment verifier thing was broken.  You should be able to leave comments now.  I’ll find another anti-spam thingmy soon!

More Blogs I Won’t Read - Part 2

Here’s additions to my list of things on blogs that make me crabby:

1.  Pop-up adverts.  I wish there was a way to perma-block myself from accidentally returning to blogs that do this.  I’m thinking of getting my firewall involved.  I don’t mind advertising, but pop-ups are just annoying.

2.  Restricted Commenting.  It cheeses me off when I find a blog I like, read an interesting post, and then go to comment (I love to comment) and then find that they only accept blogger.com comments.  I don’t mind if I have to be approved or some such, but this is too much!  And then there are a few weird blogs out there, and even a few really funny ones, that don’t accept comments at all!  WTF!  But I have things to say!

3.  Pet Blogs.  Thanks to Wendy for reminding me of this in my previous post about Blogs I Hate, but Pet Blogs are pretty hideous.  I have a cat.  She’s funny, charming, engaging, and snotty all at the same time.  But, sadly, she isn’t interesting.

I’m as yet undecided about blogs where people post for money.  I see a lot of adverts for that on sidebars, but not very many actual paid posts.  I’m not, as I said before, opposed to people making cash on their blogs.  In fact, I’m downright tickled with the $1.47 I’ve earned for my 284980924832 hours work on this blog.  And, if someone were to offer me $100 to post something about them on my blog, I really think I’d have to say ‘hell yes’, because that would pay for my hosting for a year!

So, I think my general reservation about this is unrestricted jealousy.  The best offer I got so far was the folks over at Associated Content were prepared to give me $3. 

So out of sheer jealousy, pettiness, and bitterness, I’ll add:

4.  Pay Per Post Blogs.  Cuz I’m a bitch.

Addicted to Themes

I made the theme for this blog when I first started it, but barely a day goes by that I don’t think about changing the theme, redoing the graphics, tweaking this or that and it’s really only a matter of the strictest self-control that I’ve managed NOT to change the theme every single day for the past three months.

I have a feeling I’m not the only one, or else there wouldn’t be 22,489,243,920 sites out there that advertise themes.  I’ve even considered paying $51 for one that would just need a couple new imges, some slight tweaking… blah blah blah.. good lord.

I’ve seen some fabulous looking blogs and some so-so blogs, and the truth is, if the content is good I really don’t care if people use canned themes… so why oh why am I so obsessed.

Ahem.. and don’t be surprised if I redo the site within the next month!  I’m breaking!
