500 and More
You know, I passed my 500th post two posts ago and didn't even realize it. I guess it goes to show that I hardly count the amount of blogs I do, because I love it so much. In fact sometimes I feel like my zeal for writing, were it not controlled, would have doubled that amount by now. But a friend of mine once told me... one post a day was sufficient and I'm afraid I had to listen to reason.
This self control is also what allows my family to eat, I'm sure they're happy.
As for other aspects of my little hobby, I have been working on some more things around here. If you haven't noticed I've put up a feed on the sidebar for The Literary Soundtrack. Which makes it much easier for all of you to pick and choose what you want to read over there (I still encourage you to follow me though).
I've also gone and done something I swore I'd never do. I got a twitter account.
::ducks head in shame::
I know, I know--hop on the bandwagon Cannwin I think it's about to leave.
It's just that all the things I read say it's a really good tool for attracting more readers and you all know how much I love my readers. I just couldn't resist anymore.
I put that feed right under The Literary Soundtrack feed. So you can 'follow' me on twitter as well.
And finally on this dreary, wet Monday morning. I have been tinkering around with some new blog grab-boxes to replace my old one and perhaps go a little better with my new layout. I thought I'd put it out there for your opinion.
Here's the old one:
Here's the new one's I've been playing with:
The only problem I see with any of these grab-box images is that they don't exactly match my header, which would be one of the main reasons for changing the grab box in the first place (having my 'logo' the same everywhere).
So if I were to switch to one of these.... which I probably will, do you think I should tinker around with a new and FINAL header?
Tell me your thoughts.... this really feels like the last part of the redesign of my blog so I want your input. :)

And honestly, I haven't made a button yet just because I'm not quite sure what to put on it and how to make it match my blog.
But I like the third one too and think it works great for your blog!
You've inspired me.
I have had the same problem with making a grab box, and I'm not sure if anyone even uses my grab box. (I have no way of tracking that) but it's there if someone wants to use it.
If you really want I can try and make something for you. Perhaps my detached view point would be useful at seeing the tree through the forest ;)
