Yes, I’m Stalling
Okay, nothing good to read again. Sorry about that. I set up the RSS feed on my site and changed the comments thingy from BlogSpeak to Blogkomm. Nothing against BlogSpeak, but I didn’t like how it was hosted on a server different from mine and how I had limited control over the layout. I also didn’t like the blatant use of promotional links on the pop-up window and how he was going to start placing “text ads” in the windows. It’s a great service is you don’t want something complicated, you like the pop-ups and you don’t mind the text ads. However, it’s not the kind of thing I was looking for.
Speaking of pop-ups, I really like how they keep the main page clean and free of gunk, but I decided that they weren’t practical from a reader’s perspective in case someone has pop-up preventive software or a general thing against them. Thus, I made the sacrifice of losing my three comments and moved to Blogkomm. Hopefully this will be the one I stick with and I won’t have to go through yet another change. Luckily, he’s kind enough to have set everything up so my comments stay in their own file on my server- that way they’re never truly lost as long as I back stuff up once in a while. There’s something to be said for having stuff on your own server and not someone else’s.
Who the What?
Hi, I’m Min. I write fiction about one-ring circuses, ghostly Schnauzers, and children who play with too much chalk.
But you won’t find those stories on this blog. Instead, you’ll find mediations on culture and society that piss people off, as well as a ton of stuff about storytelling and writing techniques.
