I know I said I was going to change my theme/layout. I’m still considering that, but I really like what I’m currently using, I just feel the need for a little wider sidebar, or 2 of them. And, I keep adding to my web projects. In addition to the 2 projects I’m currently working on, I’m also starting a new one next weekend, and have been working on updating my work website.
However, I have made some changes here that you might want to know about. The first thing is that I added my Twitter box. I don’t think I explained what this is for those who don’t know. Basically, I just type in what I’m doing. So whatever it says, is what I’m doing, or at least was doing when I typed it. There is a little up and down arrow at the bottom to see previous Tweets (that’s what they are called). It also posts it to my Facebook account’s Status Update. Yes, it’s silly, I know. But I thought you might like to know that I’m getting ready to leave my house, buy a bagel and a bottle of Mt. Dew.
Okay, after that, I took out the Category list and made it what is called a Cloud. All my categories are still there, just jumbled, and the ones I post to the most are bigger than the others. Mainly, it was a space saver without removing it. One of the things I’m working on is a navigation just under my header that links to my category pages, but I like the cloud, so I’ll probably keep it.
Next thing, I already explained, but in case you missed it, is my Google Reader shared items. Basically, I subscribe to a tone of blogs or websites and sometimes I find something interesting enough to share it with my friends (or website), but don’t necessarily want to do a blog about. Google Reader is hands down my favorite thing Google other than Gmail…and trust me, Reader is thisclose to Gmail. It may even be my favorite web thing period.
Okay, so below that is a YouTube Video section. Basically, it randomly shows 6 of my Youtube videos (currently I only have like 8 or 9, so you’re not missing much). But the cool part is that you should be able to click on one of the videos and it should kind of pop-out (not a new window) in your browser and play from there without you having to go to YouTube. If you do want to go there, once it pops out, just click anywhere on the video basically and it’ll take you to that page on YouTube.
Sorry, for all the explanations to the people who know what all this is, but surprisingly, not everyone spends their life on the internet like me (and you too maybe).
