Not really a new blog. More of like an update. But it is a new me. Like my blog, I’m still rough around the edges … but I’m getting there.
Change Log (of blog & me):
- Changed the directory to /blog I was a stickler on the /v2, /v3 etc format, made sure that the development of a new theme is parallel to the maintenance of the current one, properly backed up & synced everything, and made sure that there is zero downtime.
Then I grew up. Honey, this is not Wikipedia, whose downtime is noticed by millions of plagiarists of all the world. It’s just a frickin blog. - Didn’t bother putting proper 301 or 302 redirects in htaccess. F*ck SEO.
- Edited my template directly on the server. Which means I see the changes (and mess ups) in real time. And so does the rest of the world.
Do I care? Not really. Again, just a blog.
Plus, if you do strict versioning and backups for a living as I do, you totally. get. sick. of. it. - Went back to my previous template, which was originally done in Joomla.
I had an integral struggle on this one. I wanted to have one of those hand-drawn template graphics. But then I needed to learn how to draw, which I don’t see happening in the next 2 decades.
My masterpieces now all come straight from my scanner or my iPhone. And I’m owning it. - Re-enabled Google AdSense to get some pitiful earnings. Okay, I’m kidding. This is something for work.
- I stop when I’m tired. No more sleepless night just because my <li> tags are not formatting correctly.
- Started using Disqus again. Also required login for comments. This drastically reduced the number of comments (as with the previous versions of the blog). But I realized the only comments worth reading are those posted by those who login anyway. So be it.
