If you visited this Blog in the past few minutes, you saw some weird formatting... I just did some extra tweaking on the template.
Coolboard ended their free discussion board program at the end of June. Since I was the only person who ever used it, I decided to just remove it rather than find a substitute.
Likewise, the link to a music store that never was. In the year I've been blogging, I never set it up, so it's gone.
I'll add more changes over time... and I'll fix the archive soon.

I'll work on a redesign for the Archive section Saturday.

I've been working away at a new design for this Blog for parts of today. My first attempt at a new background, while an interesting idea, is a bit faded around the edges. So, I'll fire up Background Magic in a bit and try again.
I'll still have to do some major work on the Style Sheet to get it to do what I want too - but if I pull this off, it may look cooler here!

I viewed some of the winning templates in Blogger's contest yesterday... they really give me the yen to make this Blog more interesting in design too. I've been doing this one for the better part of a year, but the design is starting to look... generic to me.
The Freeservers banner at the top of the page would muddy up my design a bit... but I can't afford the paid, banner-free version just yet.

Today was a day that saw me write a bit, surf the net a bit, pack a box, sit and write, surf some more...
Amazing how I managed to get a lot done in small doses!

Moving a few items reminded me just how much packing I'll really need to do... it's a really large task!

I was very productive today after I woke up: not only did I get 1.5 articles polished off for my next newsletter, I also did much of the fiddling with settings for my ABomanation Blog, worked more on the next Comicopia, and cleaned up the house a bit too.
I learned that a science fiction/media convention in Toronto that I used to attend and speak at invited my best friend to be a guest this year, but not me. Maybe they don't consider me so important.
Let's see: I've been a publisher for 13 years, wrote animation screenplays, game adventures, do Website designs, edit and publish my own newsletter... seems pretty big to me.

Man, I've spent most of Saturday on the 'net! This would make more sense if I had a cable modem or DSL... being on a 56K connection, with a single phone line, is pretty weird...
I was offline to eat, or write, or to do some packing. I also took some time to work on the new site for my ABomanation blog. Overall though, I'd say I've been earning my ISPs keep on Unlimited access. :)
