It's odd that my lack of web inspiration has not resurfaced. Usually I'll be working on something if not my blog, but for a while now, other than updating some icons I was doing for cherrypie, I haven't done anything. I'd planned out one personal site for someone that I'd barley started, and I still need to talk over the frequently postponed project of SupremeSonic's blog. Music has inspired me to get a bit more serious with my drum practicing, and I may even go back to the piano soon to try and come up with something for fun. The same method isn't seeming to work for web design, though, even when it's all casual projects. I have a hard time making something without just feeling like I'm ripping it off. Any suggestions? I suppose setting a date where I want this or that done by and simply ...

It's coming up on a year since I got a domain for the site and actually started using a real version of WordPress. My theme has gone through many small edits, but everything remained more or less the same. I don't really like the theme, I'm caught somewhere between wanting to use someone else's theme but I don't like having things on my site not done by me. I'm going to try doing a complete overhaul on the header and bottom bar and try out some new stuff with my Lifestream. I've kept the same sort of styling for the posts and meta since what I had on my Blogsome blog, and I like that, so I don't think I'll change it. The rest of the theme needs some real flare (and I don't mean just some Web 2.0 gloss or something) as the design never really became what ...

It took a long time, but I now have my blog running WordPress 2.3 and my theme has been updated to go along with it. If there is one thing that I love about the Web 2.0 style now, it's that everything gets tags. So, I was originally planning to get a tag plugin, but I read about some of them and they sounded quite complicated, and I assumed that they would be useless when this update came out. Luckily for users of tag plugins, WordPress 2.3 can import all the tags into the integrated tag library, though I wasn't entirely wrong. So, as you've probably noticed, there is now a line under my original post meta for tags, and clicking on one of them brings you to a page that shows the top three tags and links you to my Tag Cloud page. I decided not to have the entire tag cloud above the tag archives, it looked too cluttered and disorganized. It could be worked into some blogs, though, and putting in on a sidebar for just that page would look great. Check out the WordPress Codex page for the tag cloud WP Tag for how to go about doing that.
