New look
It’s been a while since I actually wrote something in a blog. It almost feels like wearing an old pair of jeans - you know that it fits, but it still feels a little awkward (see - I can’t even get my analogies correct!). So, please bear with me till I get my writing skills sharpened again.
As can be seen, I actually spent some time personalizing the look of the blog. Something must be wrong with me - I am actually working!
Anyway, jokes aside, a lot of work was done last night. Thanks to some very persistent inspiration from Anshul, the feed for this site was added to feedburner and the new feed was added to the header. Also, for those who follow the old blog, the older feed was updated to point to the new feed. Whew - all this work for 5 readers.
Another first for me was photo editing. The header photo is a snap of a path that runs through my college (I’ll put it up on the photoblog one of these days). It took some work with GIMP to get it to the size and transparency effect that I wanted.
What else..oh yeah. I am advertising my photoblog on my website. Hey - don’t mock me. If I don’t promote my photos, who will? Also, a little clean up was done in the sidebar and I added horizontal lines to differentiate between sections. As proof of my love for pain, I also added the feedburner chicklet to display the number of readers on my site (which as of now is at a huge 0).
As always, it’s up to you constant reader to provide feedback and let me know if you love/like/hate the look. One more thing, do let me know if I should put a picture of myself on the front page (we don’t want to scare of the new people, do we?).
In other news, all those who have been waiting for the new release of Colibri have to wait a little longer. It was supposed to be released earlier this month, but the site has been down for almost 2 weeks. I finally mailed Michael and it turns out that the leetspeak servers are down and Michael’s HDD has crashed. Until leetspeak comes back up, there will be no Colibri.
What else…another semester done. I can’t believe how fast this semester went by. Time flies when you are having fun, I suppose.
Well, that’s all from me for now. Until next time - bookmark the feed!
