Puzzled

In case you hadn’t noticed, Scribblings has undergone another revamp. I’ve never particularly felt like my personal blog needs to have the same “look and feel” as the rest of the site, but I’ve grown so fond of the Easel theme being used everywhere else that I’m actually more than happy to make everything unified this time. Perhaps not surprisingly, my blog section is a bit more… colorful. Easel gives you lots of options, and if you have any graphics or PHP chops at all, you can coax it into giving you even more options. It’s the best WordPress theme I’ve encountered thus far. Really.

The “season to taste” menu is still there, though it may go away soon. It’ll allow you to swing things back over to the faux-Facebook look, though I’m gonna come right out and say that I’m becoming less and less enamoured with Facebook with every change they roll out. I suspect that the “timeline” thing they dump on us by the end of this year may be a make-or-break for me. And for a lot of other people. I don’t just automatically dislike every Facebook alteration that lands on our doorstep; it’s this jacked-up “OHCRAPWENEEDTOADDTHISBEFOREGOOGLEPLUSTHINKSOFIT!” stuff that’s really annoying. They’re really feeling threatened by Google Plus, aren’t they? Here’s a hint, Zuckerberg: making constant changes to a system that people have liked and enjoyed is what drives them to Google Plus. Just a crazy thought. Anyway, that being said, you can switch back to the Faux Facebook look if you like. While supplies last.

Drifting dangerously closer to my original point: the near-psychedelic background artwork for this section is my invention and mine alone, and had a lot to do with the state of mind I was in on Friday when I put it together.

Puzzling, isn’t it?
