Revamp
You know what the problem is, the reason for my site’s appearance looking like a front for the mob (like the candy store in my hometown that had all this old, shitty candy because the real business was being transacted in the back room)? It’s Facebook et al. pulling me away. Same reason I don’t do Digg or Twitter, or post enough pictures. Some stuff ends op over here, other stuff over there. I only have so much time in the day to come up with this shit, and I feel like my fantastic wit should always end up back on my website. So I’ve been thinking lately that I should redo my website with a setup that pulls in stuff from all over the internets — stuff I’m reading, writing, looking at. And stuff about lights, planes, bikes, dogs, the sun. Whatever. So, yeah. That’s what’s up.
Any ideas?

Since I dropped my blog, I haven’t thought about this much but I can relate completely with what you are saying. The way my friends are using FB, I think it would be hard to get them to go to a blog so I would use FB (with the appropriate plugin or whatnot) and just have all the blog posts go on my wall automatically. I have a few friends that do that and it works just fine. Only problem is that I think it takes hits away from the blog because the average FB person is not going to click-ity-click back to your blog most times (if that matters to you).
I don’t see any reason for any sane person to tweet. But that’s just me. Even FB is pushing it for my comfort zone but I joined just because it’s the only practical way to stay in touch with some of the people in my outer circles of acquaintanceship.
Looking forward to see what you come up with.
Hey Perry, thanks for your thoughts. Yeah, that is one frustration, is that I have many blog comments posted on FB instead of my actual blog, and of course comments on photos that never make it back there either. It’s that disconnect that’s tough to manage and may not be solvable. Probably doesn’t matter, either. I just would like to get back to posting all my pics on Flickr, and all my content on my blog. I haven’t thought a second about this since I posted this yesterday and I doubt I will make much headway anytime soon, but it’s something in the hopper. =)
Re: Twitter, I agree, but again if it could be tied back to my blog I think it may make more sense. Half the shit I post on FB could easily be on Twitter as well…
