The Pain of Rain, and the Blog Re-Work Concept

Hey all,

This rain is terrible! I am sitting in the Memorial Union here at OSU waiting for my body temperature to dry away my water-soaked clothes. Leaving class on east campus, the weather began as a few stark drops. Given a couple more minutes of biking, trying to avoid the swells of students and get to the MU, the rain only escalated to a full-out downpour. See, sunshine and temperature are majorly predictable – rain is not. It really ends up testing your tolerance and ability to bounce back from being irritated. Rain… I’m ready for it to go.

And the bigger, growing news… this blog. I realize that, in the coming year or so, I will probably need some proof of professional-like experience in my own creations. For example, it is likely a better idea to make this blog centered around me as who I am, not an interweb nickname like Farwest. The above header is an example of what the future of this blog, or perhaps, even a website, may look like. Of course, with the mind of mine, I am always wanting to make changes, alterations, and overall new ideas. Please let me know any ideas you may have. I have a few… very few readers. It would be nice for people to actually comment. I want your thoughts.

Thanks for reading!

Scribble22: New Widget (Updated)

WordPress now has a Twitter widget for the sidebar. Subsequently, I have added it to my blog. You can check it out on the right column, or follow me at www.twitter.com/farwest!

UPDATED: The Twitter widget is seeming pretty buggy.  I will often come back to preview my blog, and it displays that there are no responses from Twitter. However, when I simply go to the widget editing settings and re-save the changes, it returns to normal. So… We’ll see how it goes and hopefully WordPress will work out the kinks.

Blog Update

Hello all! I changed around the customizable header and top blog title. The blog’s name is essentially Farwest Blog, but because I wanted Thoughtfully Mine, the Memoirs at the top of the page, it now has to be the title of my site (unfortunately). Special thanks to Chris for informing me how to create a gloss effect in Photoshop. Hope you all like it – let me know if something would look better tweaked. Peace and thanks for reading!
