The funny part about it is that I basically returned it much to the way that it looked when I first launched it. When I launched this site, I just kept wanting it to somehow be better, but that led me to change it in a way that I was ultimately unhappy with. Since then, I have just wanted to return it to its former ‘glory’.

Starting yesterday I shrunk the entire width of the site, then re-coded the sidebar to basically be just like it was when I first launched, I also deleted the way I had the ‘Previous Posts’ and put them back in a table underneath the main page’s most recent post. This time I didn’t add a JavaScript highlight to the table rows. I just didn’t think it was necessary.

I took my old black and white ‘about’ picture and restored it to color, and then tweaked it to make it look kinda like an old washed out photo from the 80’s. I mainly did this to reflect my current feelings of melancholy, depression, and anxiety, and I felt that the image needed something tweaked. Previously, it was the same image, just black and white, with no other ‘effects’ added at all. I also remade the main page’s ‘welcome’ image to fit the new main column width since this site is wider than the original, but skinnier than the previous incarnation.

Other than that, I just made a bunch of coding updates, cleaned up a few things, got rid of a few things, and fixed a few validation errors. So now, I’m back where I started, feeling content with this layout, but wanting to add something more to it, but for now, I am remotely content with my content. See that? That was a little joke. Content with content. Get it? Sorry, that’s all I’ve got. Did I mention that I’m completely off of Paxil?

Update @ 04:47 PM, PST: Oh yeah, and I completely upgraded Wordpress to the latest version. 2.2.2. It was fun. Not really, but it went smoothly.
