End Of Year Changes
Spent way too long re-designing my blog. I changed it because:
The spring green and silver colours are a little cool, I like warmer colours better, so maybe this'll be a temporary change. I also added a few accessibility aids but probably not enough. I just kinda started changing a few colours and the next thing I knew I was adding accesskeys and invisible navigation links. Which may or may not work.
While I updated, I tried to think about the subject matter of my blog but it was too hard to summarise for a description. Well, not that hard - family, friends, public transport, reading, writing, facts I've just learnt (actually, I usually shut down the computer without blogging because I spent too long searching for the answers to questions I've thought important to answer - so now I link to Wikipedia etc so that you can do that whenever you visit and I haven't updated) and sometimes the environment, health and where I've stopped for coffee.
- I didn't like the burgundy header clashing with the purple sidebar
- I thought maybe the name Inattentive might indicate that I am unobservant and thoughtless rather than just away with the fairies.
- I discovered via Google that someone else's blog is called Inattentive.
- The author of the other Inattentive blog has an actual diagnosis of Inattentive-type ADD.
- Secretly, I knew I would never rid myself of the Dee's Wonky Window name. It just won't go, it loves me. Hopefully my actual window on the world will stick around even longer.
- I wanted to add a link to ezzanrod and the other blogs I check out regularly and which are updated.
- Erin's changed the appearance of her blog three times in as many entries. Two can play at this game!
