I just spent three ADD-riddled hours finally setting up the archives and they're not even freaking done yet. I'll have to check and re-check what's going wrong with the monthly archiving. And the design for each individual page is boring. But that's mainly because there's a point to which I stop caring what the individual pages look like. It's not like I'm ever going to say anything worth a Del, Digg, BoingBoing, ad nauseum.
So, on top of having to figure out what's going wrong with the monthly archiving function, I'm going to have to figure out how to integrate a link to the archives into the current layout's navigation scheme. As an aside, I will also stay vigilant on the search for a lightweight, ad-free comment script that also fights spam, since I have the nifty little individual pages set up and everything.
Oh God, what about the guestbook? I've all but forgotten about that trash, even with the dope design I had for it and everything. Oh, SignMyGuestbook, why did you have to become a crappy pay site?! You KNEW how good we had it with you, didn't you? Such easy, traditional customizability we struggle to keep from becoming outmoded.
(You know who 'we' are, those of us old-schoolers who were like, "What's the matter with all these boring three-column designs, with the fancy script and the over-done blend images of fangirl crap? It's like robots learned how to join fanlistings." And we weren't too far off, you know, because now pornbots generate blogs that are just porn spam. Entire blogs.)
And then after I get that guestbook anyway, I'm going to need to figure out how to get the stupid link to the guestbook integrated into the navigation.
barf.
What I'm basically hearing here is that I need to overhaul the whole site, pick a new design theme and roll it all together. But dang it, I like this design. I picked something I'd like for a long time, but I guess I didn't think it through in terms of rotating content. And I've been terribly uninspired lately but who knows, I've also been spending more time online.
Better bust out the blank sheets in class and see if I don't get divinely inspired one of these days.
