For starters, let's all acknowledge in unison, I changed the title on the page. I just couldn't in good faith refer a kind woman at the store here for my Penny Pinching section knowing that one of the first things she would see was "Fuck" in giant letters. Worry not, nothing else will change but that expletive assault on the eyes for every sweet lady or unfortunate kid that gets linked here and subsequently punished by their parents for trying to look up Banana Bread recipes and opening what might be mistaken as porn.
I'm planning to reorganize my layout again. I'd like to have blog sections, now that it seems I've covered a lot of ground. Basically I'll have a link to each section with a list of all of my posts in that area; so Recipes will go to a master post of all the recipes I've written, Entertainment will go to Spoilers and discussions like Grey's Anatomy, Penny Pinching will go to my money saving series, and Home Improvement sort of explains itself. I haven't decided if I'll mimic my Pinterest with a Women's Health section, or separately section each issue - Bravangelizing, Sexual Health, and Mental Health. I suppose that would make the most sense, since I discuss and plan to expand on issues that affect all genders. This also means I'll be taking a lot of time to edit my posts for accuracy and formatting - say goodbye to broken pictures!
Color formatting is going to stay the way it is right now until someone complains.
I like purple a lot.
With that in mind, I'm also hoping to add in a Videos section. In a story I may share later, I have found myself with a decent quality webcam that hooks up to my handy-dandy laptop nicely. What does this mean for you nice people? It means tutorials, tours, and general fuckery starring MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I really wasn't inclined to go the video route, but a close friend of mine recently admitted to issues with dyslexia, and thus, following written directions. They love my cooking/baking and were trying to learn my ways, but video is really the only way to be effective. Also, I've noticed when I write some posts I end up ranting or derailing, and I think transcripted videos could be a great way to get the best of both worlds.
I'm not sure if I'll keep trying daily posting. We all know how the scheduled weeklies kind of blew up on the tarmac. It seems I write best when I do those inspired runs in which I blitzkrieg everyone's RSS feed with six posts at once, especially when I manage to squeeze out a really involved post like Woo-Hoo in My Hoo-Hoo.
As far as upcoming content, I have a few ideas already forming for this week, but as usual I love hearing what you nice people like to read about. I haven't forgotten my lovely baking buddy's request for a Breaking Bad discussion. Not sure if I'll make a forum for back-and-forth, or just blab about the show like I have with Grey's. I've tried to stay out of politics on here, mostly because I never feel like I know enough about an issue to discuss it confidently, and thus far have only had one or two nudges to cover specific events. Like I've said before though, I am a bit of a people pleaser, so ask and ye shall receive.
Eventually.
Your writings are always very entertaining! (If my name doesnt show up, it's Chris Kelley)
