Seeing the new features of the Blogger Beta was exciting me…until I started poking around the internet to see how people liked it. One blog I came across was this one. There’s a lot of interesting things on there - especially if you understand what they’re talking about. Right now I’m thinking about maybe converting to Wordpress or even shelling out a few bucks for Typepad.
Anybody have any advice for me? I know Blogger isn’t anywhere near Xanga status, but it’s not like it’s top notch either. I could just switch to Wordpress and get all the beta features w/o the beta switch problems. I’ll have to think about this one.
Back in January of ‘05 (I like to pronounce that as Aught Five) I had a post about some of the reasons I don’t like Xanga. Well, today I have yet another reason. Xanga is currently down for pretty much all of today. They’re physically moving servers to a new location and therefore nobody can edit and/or view Xanga accounts while this move is happening.
I got one word for you…LAME.
I’m tired. Tired of not sleeping as much as I’d like. Tired from lifting. Tired of it being dreary outside. Tired of idiot bots spamming blogger. Tired of dirty dishes refusing not to wash themselves…
The list could go on and on. I finally got smart and enabled the extra security for comments. I don’t want to block anonymous comments because those are some of the best. This is one of those things that makes blogger so much cooler than xanga. That and the slightly less abundance of ‘pre-pubescent teens’ as Tara would say.
I had a super huge salad for supper today. It was definitely bigger than my head. I used one of my mixing bowls. Now I’m getting really hungry though. That’s not cool. I so want to make a sandwich or something, yet I know I shouldn’t eat anything else cause it’s late.
In other news…Ben Toll made his move and yes folks, the fireworks were lit. Luckily Kuhn wasn’t incinerated. Tonight some of them are going to be making a sweet sweet movie to try and win x-boxes. I think their idea rocks, I’m just worried about it looking good with their cameras and editing abilities since it has to be turned in Friday.
Oh, and apparently they still sell the Crunch Wrap Supreme in Marion…that idiot worker lied to me….jerk.
Ok folks. Here’s the question of the…whatever. The facial hair is getting changed soon cause i’m tired of what I got at the moment. So I’m up for suggestions. Now keep in mind that even though I might really like your suggestion, it may have to wait til summer when it doesn’t matter so much with work. It’s not like my boss would care that much, it’s just that I want to look professional. So comment away and give me ideas.
Oh, and I gotta love that right after I post earlier about xanga, I get a random comment about getting free pizza. That was awesome. Couldn’t have backed that point up in any better way.
I’ve started checking out another cool videblog. This one’s called Amyville and I linked it off to the right.
Not a whole lot going on. This morning I saw Bob and Ellen at church so I sat with them. Bob is probably going to start helping out with the music stuff. I really want to go lift, but the fitness center doesn’t open up for a little while yet.
I was just thinking the other day about how much I don’t like xanga. This is another one of the big hosts for blogs out there. I haven’t actually seen a personalized xanga site yet. There are also all these crazy kids that do that xanga thing and it can get a little creepy. Just go check out Shorb’s post from Jan 24th and read the comments. Those crazy groups and stuff. I’d have to say the other big beef I have with them is that I haven’t ever been able to anonymously throw a comment up on one. Maybe you can enable this or something, but people just haven’t figured that one out. I have several friends with xanga accounts and I can never comment on their awesome thoughts because I really don’t want to start up a xanga account just to give somebody a shout-out 3x or so a month.
So hey you xanga people - convert to blogger/blogspot. I’ll even help you set it up and play with the templates and stuff. It’s not that hard - especially if you have some basic understanding of html.
Oh, and on a much different note, while up on the deuce last night I scored myself a free slice. Neal came back with his Pizza Hut which he had gotten with the borrowing of toll’s car. Toll announced “tax time!” and JRod pipes up with, “yeah, you gotta give us pizza”. So Neal then says nobody’s getting any except for Toll cause he borrowed his car. So I say, “what about me? i’m freaking chalupa”. So Neal gives me a slice too. Sometimes they make me feel famous up there.
