I never thought I’d see the day when I turn away from Wordpress. I got into blogging through Wordpress, and it was a blast to use back in the day. However Wordpress has gotten cluttered and bloated lately. I don’t even need half of its features. All I need is a blog engine with the basics. Chyrp gives me that power, all in a lightweight package. This /blog directory will probably float around for now, but once I have everything over at Chyrp, it’ll be deleted. Since the main site (DZine-Studios) isn’t really useful to me, the new blog will be on the root directory. I’ll probably clean this theme up a little bit and use it for the new blog. So long Wordpress, and hello Chyrp!
I’m working on several big projects at the moment, so I might not be posting too often. On the bright side, MySpace finally switched over to divs and CSS for certain profiles. This is still an option which they call “MySpace 2.0,” and it’s still optional, because many of the MySpace custom profiles are still table-based. Although I wouldn’t mind if they got rid of the table version. Nobody would miss those horrible layouts anyway. With MySpace 2.0 I was finally able to create a layout that looks decently good. Here’s the link.
Thanksgiving has been all but forgotten in the US. It’s only the beginning of November and I see tons of ads for Christmas gifts and sales. Then there’s also the dreaded onslaught of Christmas movies.
Speaking of DZine-Studios, it won’t be around for very long. By December I’m hoping to have my new web design studio open. I won’t release the name just yet, though. Once the new site opens, dzine-studios.com will be relegated to blog duties.
So far Obama seems to be leading… I’ll update this post with the winner, even if it’s announced at like 3 am.
EDIT: Obama won the election, and will come into power January 20, 2009.
