The decline of my blog posts and re-design
Creative Binge posts have slowed to say the least to more of a creative slurge or rather slow drip. Even Ed Stelmach has regained his thrown as top Stelmach of Google, putting aside his Alberta responsibilities and taking a moment to laugh heartily, wallowing in his success.
Since my Facebook in 40 years thing that got on the digg.com front page and loads of other sites, I got a steady flow of Facebook friend invites. I think someone has copied me too with this Pension Book, it is better than mine, but has a bit of an abusive angle to it, which I’m not that keen on.
After that I mainly posted items that consisted of sick or had atleast some relation to eating disorders (see example). These were not as popular and soon the posts dried up, much like the sick, a stale remnant, slowly eroding away.
But, the future is bright, I am currently re-designing my website as this one has become almost embarrassing. It’s never a good sign when you fear people looking at your site so it must be changed.
This one is dated, with the next one I aim for a clean, modern and sophisticated look. I also want to add some nice features such as rated content, more dynamic info going on such as a Rant Box, comments on portfolio work and latest site updates so people can see what’s new. I want to highlight my Flash games more too, as people always seem to like them.
From a technical point, I’d like to maybe get in a bit of jquery actionoly in but it’s thinking of a reason, I don’t like features for features sake, there has to be a use. I keep getting alured by Flash CS3’s mobile phone support too. I would love to make some of my games available on mobile phones and it looks pretty easy, but this will have to wait.
long live the blog! just to show you that the blog is not dead, and is i’m sure about to attract a whole new generation of bloggers, I’m posting this comment…
the e-motivator told me ‘the tables are about to turn. embrace the pain’. this is good news. the e-motivator wouldn’t lie to me now would it?
good luck with the redesign, and if i don’t get a job soon, i too will redesign my site. We can have a design-off!

Sorrelio, thanks for reviving the blog, no, the e-motivator doesn’t EVER lie, it basically evaluates your brain, and feeds you what you need to succeed, it also tells the future to prevent lieing to create a two pronged delivery of truth.
A design-off sounds risky, I would have to create an unfair scenario where I would be unable to lose. Like, if we had a design-off but I was the judge.
+ the time zone is most likely incorrect but I am unwilling to change it, stop highlighting the short comings of the binge!
