So, some folks might have noticed the juicy little bits I’ve thrown up on the site lately; from that cool map that tracks the location of visitors to the flickr photo thing down in the sidebar; and now my ugly mug is showing up as a favicon next to the url.
How’d I do that? Easy-peasy, just a quick visit to this site. I cropped and uploaded a self portrait I took last year in New Zealand and voilá, there I am. I did a couple others too, all from pictures I like. I tried making my own favicon by hand, but I am no graphic designer. I had this idea bouncing around in my head, a crescent moon nestled up against the sun, but the result looked pretty bad. So I guess I’ll just stick to tiny headshots for the time being.
I am thinking about migrating away from Blogger too. My domain registration for namamalo.org is expiring next month, along with my hosting plan from Aplus.net. I’ve been farting around with a WordPress installation for almost a year now at
galaide.org, and I recently put up a Textpattern site too with my DreamHost hosting plan. I can’t really rationalize paying for two hosting plans. Aplus.net has been okay, but DreamHost keeps adding more and more value to my plan. Plus I paid for a couple years upfront at DreamHost instead of one year at Aplus.net. So I think I’ll be switching stuff around here, there – somewhere – in the next month or so. Odds are good that I’ll do nothing except move the whole site over to DreamHost, I’m lazy like that and I have no major beefs with Blogger right now.
