Blog Blues
January 20th 2010 21:06
The new year is 20 days old already and so far I've not had any trouble sticking to my writing goals.
Even the blogging part is easy, despite my busy schedule. I enjoy writing these blog posts. I got quick at drafting posts and editing them up to scratch, too. So I should be happy about this blog, right?
Well, I'm happy with the content. I'm happy with the conversations I've had with some of you. But man am I not happy with the way the blog looks. The Orble design is very 2003, and I'm afraid in our fast-paced time that equals ancient. I guess I could live with the dated look if it were easier to customize a blog. Heard of widgets, anyone?
I'm not sure yet what the next step is. Maybe I need to spend a weekend playing with the limited options I have in terms of design. Maybe the best it can look will be acceptable. But I am thinking about other options.
All I want is to have the best blog possible, both in terms of content and look. Is that asking too much?

I also get frustrated with the limited design options we have here at Orble. That said, I'm not very good with website design and don't have the time or the money to set up a new website and make it look professional right now.
There are a few advantages to blogging on Orble, including the fact that they pay for your domains. It's also more of a blogging community than most networks. In the end, it's a tradeoff. You can't win them all all the time.

Anyway, I mean it when I say I'll try to get the most out of the template. If I find out anything cool, I'll share it.
