Blog Stardom

After my recent post about improving my blog's position in the online world, i was happy to find this article. It turns out that all i have to do to have a great blog is to blog... for a year without letting up. Oh, and it would probably help if i posted more than once a week (though not necessarily), and possibly if it was about something useful to people. Darn, that sounds like work! i suppose i'll have to live with just a few people reading my blog. Oh well.

Just to clarify, i really don't care if this blog is only read by two or three people. i just like numbers. i've already outlined my primary goals, which are similar to those in the article. That's all i really want from this.

Chad, I'm so glad to have found your blog this evening. I really wouldn't have guessed you have so much to say publicly. I'm glad you have found an outlet for your creative mind. The nerd factor is also appreciated. Represent!

Now a suggestion: your color scheme hurts my eyes, I had to read the rest of your posts through Google Reader.

But keep it up. I'm glad that I can reconnect to your brain, and all it's quirky goodness. I'm sure I'll have a sarcastic comment to add now and then.

@adam - what do you think about the color scheme now? The previous one was basically one of the blogger templates. If you have specific suggestions, let me know.

Your sarcastic comments are always welcome.

adam's just old. heh. the other color scheme was nice too...

put me in the old catagory though... i can read this new one much easier.

another suggestion... make it so that your comments pop up in another window. sometimes i like to reference a post when commenting and it's much easier to have the post already up along with the comments box.

are you going to do NaBloPoMo? should i add you to my list??

@the mama - There is a 'Show Original Post' link at the top of the comment page (on the left) that you can click on to show the original post.

Yes, i'm going to try the NaBloPoMo thing (and probably fail miserably). i figured i wouldn't leave Michelle out in the cold after i convinced her to do it.

New colors are much easier on the eyes. I wasn't getting the best contrast on the grey on black.

BUT the new colors now make it hard to see links. The Dark Blue blends in with the Black too well.

But I'm just nit picking.
