I was taking a look at this blog recently and noticed there has been a precipitous drop in how frequently I've posted in the last couple years. I went from around fifty posts in 2010 to approximately twenty posts in 2011 to a measly six posts in 2012! I know the reason for this (I blogged so much because I was bored and spent most of my free time at the computer... not the case anymore) but at the same time I want to rectify the situation somewhat and find a happy medium.
Therefore, I am going to schedule a bunch of posts (selected topics courtesy of 100 Blog Topics I Hope YOU Write) and hopefully that will get the creative juices going. I need more creativity back in my life!

Crash And Burn
In the past couple months my computer has taken a turn for the worse. It all started when I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox and promptly hated everything about it. I ended up uninstalling it and going back to version 3.6 or so, and that’s when the problems started. Every five minutes, my browser would suddenly stop responding and start thinking really, really hard for a couple minutes before returning to normal. Needless to say, this sort of stop-and-go nonsense really ruined the flow of my internet experience, but I’m fortunate enough that I have an iPhone to supplement my online needs.
Alas, things have become worse. It came to my attention that it wasn’t just Firefox that was affected, but any internet browser on my computer (e.g. even IE had the same problem, and downloading Chrome or Safari wouldn’t be of any use). And since this past weekend, the ratio of “non-responsiveness” to “functional browser” has gone from 25 : 75 to 55 : 45. D: Honestly, I think I may have to reformat it once again, because Googling for a solution has just resulted in a lot of advanced gobbledygook that suggests Javascript is to blame.
It sucks. I don’t want to lose all my 6000+ songs and countless graphics all over again!
In other news, I was thinking of switching my blog from Blogger to Wordpress. I like the convenience of having Blogger tied in with my Google account, but on the other hand it makes me uneasy at the same time because, well. *points at tag*I also like how nicely you can customize your blog here, layout and image-wise. Just look at that lovely background pattern! But Wordpress is simply a lot more dynamic, easier to navigate and with more bells and whistles and customization options when it comes to privacy, security, and content promotion. That being said, as soon as I had thought about moving, Blogger decided to release its sleek new interface. So now I’m unsure what to do. I think I need to play around a bit more with the Blogger options before coming to a final decision.

Time For A Change
I finally decided to switch up the layout of this journal. It was really great before, but I couldn't stand the way Youtube videos wouldn't fit the main column width. It drove me insane! Hence the change. I'm still trying to figure out a way to link a preview to my website on the sidebar, but I don't think that add-on exists. Anyway, I'm going to keep fooling around with the settings until I achieve perfection. ;)
