Size DOES Matter

Yo. For your viewing enjoyment, I just figured out how to make my blog columns wider. Hope you like it.

If you care, Here's how I did it. For Blogger, go into Layout, then edit HTML. I bumped up my main column to about 1000 pixels. I'll show you a screenshot of my main-column size. Happy blogging on the big screen.

Knock it off with the boring blogs

Married-people blogs suck.

I've been lurking on some of my high school classmates' blogs tonight- I would say about 86% of those blogs are about married life. And they suck. The blogs are done by good people with good intentions, but the results are not good.

Each blog delves deep into the minutiae of picking out paint colors for Kayleb's new room, or how the Brooklynn finally learned to like green beans.

You don't believe me? Read one. Or two.

They're all using the same blog template too. It's terrible.

With that in mind, I've listed some tips to un-horrible your blog.
____________________________________________________
1) Remove your playlist. No one wants be bored AND listen to Faith Hill's "Lost" or Rascal Flatts "You." Most people would rather get stabbed than listen to your Russian Roulette of crappy music.

2) No more fetus widgets.They look like sea monkeys.


3) Stop exploiting your kids through your blogs. Some of their actions don't warrant a blog entry.

4) You're stuck in your blog. Relate to something you saw on TV (that doesn't have to do with Rascal Flatts new tour or Faith Hill's new fall look).

5) Knock it off with the artsy names for your kids. Simple is better. And if you do use a name from the bible, don't goof with the spelling. You don't have to manifest your creativity through your kid's name.

6) Lose the scrapbook template.

Look Ma, I'm bloggin'/ Right Coast playlist.

Yo. I'm not exactly new to the whole blogging game. I manage a blog for a web site. some of my stuff might actually make you guffaw, laugh, or pissed-off. Good. I hope my insight and moods make you think about what I'm pondering. It makes for a cute little e-community type of thing (that's what the powers-that-be want us to think anyway).

Today I made one of the most epic playlists I think I have ever created. I dubbed this one "Right Coast." As you might guess this playlist comes from East Coast hip hop. Now all you hip-hop aficionados might crap on the playlist 'cause I included stuff from FLA. I know this stuff qualifies as Dirty South or whatever, But I wanted to include it. So What? This thing's poppin' regardless of what sub-genres the music actually belongs in.
