Sorry for the long stretches between posts. Things are crazy as always, but I guess that never changes. I’m gearing up for another year of NaNoWriMo, but I’m going to try as always to keep posting during the month of November. This year, NaNo is providing some really cool widgets, so I’ll post them on the sidebar over on the left so you can track my progress. I’m notoriously bad for not updating my word count, so if that goes stagnant for a while, I haven’t stopped writing, I just haven’t updated my word count.
At work, I just had one of those ‘duh!’ moments. I just now (after a year) changed my computer to the silver theme from the blue (smurf-esque) theme of windows XP. It’s almost like some kind of jolt to my eyeballs. I forgot how much more I liked the silver theme!
Otherwise, I have some plans for a couple new things for the site. The first being of course the upgrade to the new Joomla. If everything works well, visitors to the site won’t be able to tell, but I have to play around with the site skins to make that work. Or maybe it’s time for a new look (nothing too drastic mind you). I also will be looking for a new host in the future. Basically I need more room (especially for photo galleries), so the site address won’t change (again, nothing that you’ll notice if I do everything correctly).
And the other big thing I want to do is a revamp of the book review section. I believe I’m going to change it to a wiki format. Not only will that allow me to quickly add pages, I’m hoping to better organize it, including pages for authors, and it will help me keep better inventory of my small library (and actually allow access to more than the latest 10 reviews). I don’t think I’ll have it set up for anyone to add books (since it’s also an inventory), but adding comments is something I want to incorporate for sure, so we’ll see what I can come up with.
Ok, I think that’s it for now, catch everybody later!
