Heh. After some rethinking, I decided I should add a short rants feature to my blog. Then, I decided I should revamp my Archives list in the sidebar into a more usable (and practical) archives page.
So, together with my want to change my blog theme, want for a sideblog, and archives page revamp, I decided it was time to spend some time at night implementing them.
The theme is called Sodelicious Black, I'm using KG's Archives and Sideblog plugins to power the Sideblog in the sidebar, and the new Archives page.
Why a sideblog? I decided I wasn't one for long rants about nothing, so I decided I should have a place I can write down those small little things I want to say, but would just be a dumb waste of space if I made it into an entire post.
I realise I haven't been posting many photos or pictures lately, so I suppose it might be a good time to make several well-thought-out posts over a longer period of time compared to a shorter one.
On a side note, I have actually quit Magic (yet again, I know), but this time not out of lack of interest or lack of players, but more like a lack of funds to generally throw at pieces of cardboard that most people aren't interested in. It was a planned withdrawal, since I had only bought small amounts of Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, and practically no Future Sight. However, I do intend to resume writing articles about my favourite card game soon, so expect some articles to come from there.
I realise I haven't been posting much about my personal life, but to be honest, there isn't much happening in my life right now. I'm a plain old boring student, and while I've just joined a killer student association recently (which I shall decline to reveal until my first piece of work is done), I have little or nothing to say. Of course, that could actually mean what I find ordinary – is actually not that normal.
I’m not a fan of too much details at the bottom of the theme because most people don’t usually scroll down and you lose a lot of readers. Though for this theme, I’ll make an aesthetic exception.
There is still too much information lost from the sidebar. No way to fix it aside from shifting the recent posts and comments to the top. Of course that defeats the design of this theme.
Well, my original sidebar didn’t have the information that is stated below, so to me, it’s not a huge loss. In case you haven’t seen my original theme, next to the first post was: links (as in to the rest of the site, which since the server got hacked some time ago, I decided not to restore on grounds that it wasn’t being used anyway), categories, shoutbox, then Google Ads.
Most people didn’t use any of those, so I thought it was time to remove them and put them somewhere else.
I will however be looking into putting other information into the sidebar later on.
Thank you for your comments.
