CHANGES:
January 20, 2015
• Actually removed the +/- feature. Nobody does it.
• Made slight adjustments to the fonts used.

April 9, 2013
• Added a new link to the perpetual links of interest box. Follow my friend as she documents her wanderings around Los Angeles. The Itty Bitty Gadabout


February 28, 2013
• Added a new tag: NIN for Nine Inch Nails related material


December 15, 2012
• Added a followers box in the hopes of making it easier for people to follow this blog and the sporadic writing presented.

November 25, 2012
•Changed "Quote of the Week" to just "Quote" because I really suck at updating on a weekly basis.

July 15, 2012
• Changed the labels because they weren't redirecting correctly.
A+ is now Aa
P+ is now Pp
S+ is now Ss

• Activated all labels because I wasn't allowed to pick and choose anymore apparently.

May 20th, 2012
• Changed the URL. Why? Because this way it should be faster for people to type in the address bar and keep in mind.

April 8, 2012
• Added label F to the Labels boxes. Because I started a series of posts on fortune cookie fortunes.

February 17, 2012
• Reinstated the comments feature because "why not?"
• Changed the layout in the interests box.

January 26, 2012
• Removed the Anti-SOPA stuff. Fuck SOPA.
• Toyed with a new layout scheme, ended up altering the original scheme. I would have restored the original template but I forgot to save it. Bummer.

December 29, 2011
• The following labels have been removed from the Labels box.
- Bottle
- A
- A+
A and A+ don't get much attention right now. Bottle is old now.
The content in A and A+ and Bottle will still be available.

• Updated the Links of Interest box.
- Changed the Astronomy Picture of the Day thumbnail.

November 18th, 2011
• Removed Twitter feed.

November 8th, 2011
• Moved the Labels box to the left (my left). Efficiency for space.
• Edited Twitter feed widget.

November 2nd, 2011
• Tested Internet Explorer, didn't work out very well. Made a note of it in the browsers list above.

November 1st, 2011
• Added a Twitter feed. Mostly to keep track of my Movember progress and serve as a reminder to readers to help out however they can. Thanks.

October 15th, 2011
• Removed the "Art (in Various Forms) Worth Checking Out" box for the time being. To help the page load faster. The contents have been transferred to the "Links of Interest ∞" box.
• Moved the Housekeeping box.

August 15th, 2011
• Consolidated the (stuff) Worth Checking Out boxes into one.
• Moved the Links of Interest box to the left side
• Reduced the number of posts on the main page to 4.

July 16th, 2011
• Removed the commenting feature. Nobody does it anyway.
• Removed the +/- option of the reactions.

July 8th, 2011
• Added the "About" at the top of this entry.
• Truncated the description for the sidebox.

June 21st, 2011
• Started using labels. Hopefully this will help with finding specific types of posts more quickly. Having to look through the whole blog is going to take a while and you've probably got better things to do, right? Anyway, the label system.
For example:
P+ corresponds with poems I've shared from other authors.
P for my poems.
A+ artwork by other artists.
A for my artwork, though in a classroom setting my artwork would receive a B or less. Ha.
S+ for stories by other authors (will most likely end up posting public domain stuff)
S for my own stories.
and so forth. I'll make changes accordingly.
• If I delete posts- poetry, art, stories, etc. The main reason will be because it's not in public domain (and I don't want to get in trouble for it). If anything, I'll link to the site instead.
• Added a box called Labels to assist in the quest for finding particular types of posts more quickly.
• Removed the box "Bottle" because I used the labels for finding the individual parts faster. (Why didn't I think of that before?)

June 13th, 2011
• Removed the box "This grabbed my attention"; if there's anything that grabs my attention, I'll post an entire entry for it. This saves the reader the trouble of having to check through the blog for the slightest change in said box (which is now removed).

June 9th, 2011
• Edited content in side modules- books, music, links of interests. Trimmed the lists down. Changes varied.

May 5th, 2011
• Tested browsers again, except for IE. Added Opera to the list.

May 3rd, 2011
• Added some extra boxes
- Links of interest
- Attention grabbing image
- Quote of the week
- Housekeeping / changes log
• Updated content in pre-existing boxes
• Fixed a few broken links
• Organized boxes in different places
• Altered layout and design to make better use of space
• Widened blog in general- for space efficiency issues
• Changed some fonts for novelty factor and a change of pace.
