I Is Back

It may be less codily versatile here, but it attracts more traffic and has more features (like the much important RSS feed). So from now on, this will be my home on the net. And I must say, hasn’t it improved since I last came here? If only I had better access to the internet, I could spend more time sharing my thoughts and making this a worthwhile visit for all you people stupid enough to come here anyway. Roll on moving out and going to uni, that’s all I can say!

Anyway, laters people, I’ll post more important/interesting stuff soon.

Update: I love the import tool [ass-hat]. Everything categorised under “Uncategorized” is what I wrote under the influence of Blogger.

Who Shall Host Me?

At this rate, I might return my ‘blog to the categoryless land of Blogspot due do WordPress’s philanderings. To me, presentation of a website is everything: if it looks bad, I’m not interested. WordPress do not allow you to mess about with the stylesheets, so I have to choose one off of a list. I don’t necessarily like any of these. Actually, the one I did like has now been slightly modified so that the headings in the sidebar look awful and as a result, I’ve had to change to a less aesthetic theme.

Problems:

WordPress	Blogspot
No style flexibility	No categories
Impossible to insert scripts (say, for Google analytics)	No import function

I expect that Blogspot will soon include a feature allowing people to import their ‘blogs: they have addressed this problem in their FAQs. The idea of not having categories puts me off working around the first problem for now.

Recently, I wanted to introduce Google Analytics to this site, but WordPress wouldn’t have it: any Javascript was soon changed to simple HTML. This would not be a problem on Blogspot. I am currently deciding what to do; any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I’ve just noticed that this style does not make full use of categories. I am now working on a Blogspot profile.

My Life, In One Monthly Affordable (free) Page

As many people know, music is at the centre of my life. And being something is awesome and amazing, I want to spread it around everywhere and wipe it all over everyone’s face like I would a good ham and piccalilli sandwich. This is why I am such a Radio.Blog.Club fan. Not only can I create a playlist for myself to listen to, but I can share it with anyone I want.

I’m not being paid by them. I’m not an advertising tool. I just think that this is a great invention: a way of effortlessly collecting and sharing music.

Actually, the reason I am writing this post is that I’d like to direct people’s attention to my playlist and make everyone aware of my taste in music. I’ve stuck a link to my playlist in the blogroll, and I’ve stuck a link in the “About Me” page. As the playlist will constantly be updated, I think it’s worth putting a permanent link somewhere easily accessible (so I never have to type to get to this page, primarily).

So: visit my playlist.

New ‘Blog

July 7, 2006 at 9:42 pm | In Site News | Leave a Comment

Due to peer pressure and encouragement, I have been forced to start a new ‘blog. Apparently I have the ability to create something of worth, at least for my friends to see and laugh at.

The only reason I am starting this is to publicise the thoughts that somehow materialise in my brain that are worthy of publication and not too embarrassing to reveal (many of my thoughts should, and will never, become public, to my constant relief). For example, right now I am thinking about how great Blur are, especially their old stuff in which they use too many effects. I usually complain about overuse of effects, but when they are used in the correct way to create a psychedelic sound, then I quite enjoy it. In fact, “Battle” just played through my stolen (from Dan, with permission) earphones, and I stopped typing and awoke four minutes later with my chin, hands and left ear covered in drool. That’s how good Blur are.

Anyway, I hope that my future posts will be better than this one.
