Okay, that’s a wacky post title. I’ve just posted a brand-spanking-new poetism to the site. You can find it here.
It’s actually not new. I wrote it a couple of years ago and found it in my notebook today. I cleaned it up a tiny bit (though I wouldn’t call it pristine as is) and posted it here. Commentary is forthcoming, though at the rate I progress on these it might be a while.
I was driving home from work today and saw a license plate frame on a motorcycle in front of me, which read:
YOUR IN AMERICA
SPEAK ENGLISH
I cried a little bit.
I always thought Spider-Man was a little taller, though…
Well, I finally gave up and installed WordPress for my blog.
Not that anyone knows, because no one but me reads my blog (hour after hour, after lonely old hour…).
I had thought about installing WordPress for quite some time, but my biggest obstacle was the seemingly daunting task of integrating it into my existing site. It turns out that it was relatively pain-free, and the benefits are very nice, mainly:
My implementation had none of those things (though the comments thing didn’t really matter before, as I currently have a grand total of two comments, and they are from two different people). I even learned how to write simple widgets so I could put my “of the page load” stuff in the sidebar.
There is still some cleanup work to be done, mainly with the bloated theme style sheet. Someday I will also categorize my past posts. Possibly I will be daring and find a new theme. All in all, I like the “new” blog, though I have no illusions that liking it will make me post any more often.
