Today I made the first major aesthetic changes to this blog. Although i liked the simplistic look of it from before, I felt it was time to tweak things a bit. I'd like to generate a little more traffic here which is why i'm trying to post more often.
I must say that blogger was being a major pain in the ass as i tried to make changes. After making changes and trying to save them, I would repeatedly get a 503 error. This isn't cool when you're trying to make changes on the fly and hoping to see them quickly while you still have an idea in your head.
The other thing that I've run into is the adsense widget seems to be very much not working right now. I've tried to re-add it and it doesn't appear anywhere. My reason for caring about this is because i would honestly like to see if i can make a little bit of money from my rants. I've not dealt that much with adsense or much of any of the aspects of this blog in years so I need to spend some time going through things more closely. I'd had a couple of ads here in the past and they were small and non-offensive so i kept them there. Because of that, I'd like to see if i can get them back. I'm more annoyed by the fact that they are gone and don't seem to be coming back than i am by the fact that they're ads in the first place.
Perhaps some day I'll be able to move from this site to somewhere else where i can grow more. In order to do so I need to have more justification though since this is in fact free and I like free things. :)
