I've been up all night working on my site re-design. For those of you who liked the old one... sorry, it's gone. I have gone crazy with Homesite 2.5 lately... besides redoing all (or mostly all, anyway) of my pages, I also spell-checked all of my previous entries... yeah, a whole years worth. And I found out that I don't know how to spell... like most of you didn't already know that.

The more that I thought about it, the more the rejection from the Archipelago ring hurt me. I like to think that I'm just as good as anyone else. Everyone doesn't think that way about me, though. So I pouted about it for a couple of minutes. Well, maybe ten or so. But I got over it, and I started working to make my site better.

I did get some constructive criticism, though. Enough for me to want to make some changes HTML-wise. The thing that bothered me most is that my journal was called "pretty pedestrian in writing" but I understand that is one person's opinion, and I'm not gonna let that bother me for very long. It did make me think about the content that I put here, though. As I said a couple of weeks ago, I'm kinda stuck in a rut and I'm trying to get out of it. I would like to make this a more thoughtful journal. I am generally a thoughtful person, but I just can't get it written down to reflect that very well most of the time. So I can work on that aspect of it...

But I won't be doing it to be accepted into a circle or a ring. I'll be doing it for me, just as I do everything else. OK, on with the day. Which for me means going to sleep, since this is the day that I get to go back to work. This has not been a very satisfying week off, I hope for some better weather and some more ambition for the next one!

I will attempt to upload this, but my ISP has been making some major changes lately, and people have not been able to get here, and I have not been able to get out. Email has been working OK, though.

Thanx for being here!
