i am actually blogging about blogging. i really didn’t want to be, but it’s come to this. at the moment i find myself with three different urls–which is 2 more than i want–and, of course, none function properly.
first there’s this one. which won’t allow anyone who doesn’t have a blogger account to comment. which is laaame. this was the problem that started it all.
then came #2, which is way cooler looking (at least on the top. thanks, kris). i kind of have a bone to pick with how uselessly narrow the actual BLOG part of the blog is. especially once you start scrolling down, it’s kind of got the feeling of long trail of snot running down a large white napkin.
which is, you know….. the kind of imagery you want to be conjuring with your self expression, obviously.
but i was told this is something that can be fixed in post. post being an upgrade. i was also told that post would be where i could get it to play all that video content that worked just fine with the po’ html blog #1, but which apparently css won’t deign to chill with unless it gets all blinged out with plugins or some shit.
so i figured, if i’m gonna have to get an upgrade, i may as well just get some kind of respectable domain to go along with it. this is how i ended up with social-creature.com, and that’s right about the point at which all hell broke loose, as is evidenced by the catastrophe happening at #3.
(that, there, may yet be grosser than snot AND blogging about blogging put together).
oh, and i might mention that in the meantime, #1 decided to just up and have some kind of anxiety attack where it can’t figure out whether it’s supposed to put the current post first, or instead maybe one from sometime before may 24, so it does this psychotic thing where tries to sort of smash them together in this nonsensically horrifying coding breakdown that i swear, i SWEAR, i didn’t do! (and can’t figure out how to fix :(. )
now…. this would not even be worth mentioning normally, because i’ve got a couple friend who, under normal circumstances, would take care of it for me. however, when i say a couple, i actually DO mean only two, and one of them is off being a monk at a 1o-day silent meditation retreat (aka LIB detox) which started a few hours ago, and the other one is off being a rockstar on a mini-tour with his band somewhere between l.a., vegas, and austin for the next two weeks.
in the meantime, i have no idea WHERE i’m supposed to write anything anymore. i know i’ve been with #1 for a few months now, and things were going ok, but it was kind of boring. then i met #2 which does all that kind of stuff for me that #1 wouldn’t. ultimately tho, you can’t tell your friends that you’re with a skanky hoodrat url like that. #3’s the one that’s gonna be in it for the long haul, but it’s all, like, got SERIOUS issues to work out before i can commit.
all i know is i can’t handle two more weeks like this. i’m just not cut out for having blogs on the side. i need some stability. i need some answers. i need some tech geeks to tell the internet to stop picking on me.
i’m allowed to have a blog even if i do start to zone out when people start speaking in consonants. why do i gotta know shit about css or html to be able to write, goddamnit?? they don’t make programmers know how to wield alliteration or analogies or allusions to do what they do.
side note:
our LIB street team leader in portland just turned our poster into a blunt!
how cute is that!?
ok, seriously. i need help getting my wordpress blog over onto the social-creature domain–i can trade you either in prophecies or literary devices–your pick. anyone know how to get this done?
