It was beautiful, really... a gift from missionaries? Intricate & delicate in design, it gave a very outside-the-box touch to the ambiance! Perfect fit for the fun-loving eclecticness he embodies!

So I decided I would have no qualms installing/utilizing a tracking software (such as SpectorSoft) on any computer in my household. Especially as children grow into more private, developing, pubescent teens! The best option would be to keep the comps in public/shared areas. Although I know that as technology advances, it may very well be "normal" for everyone to have thier own little laptop to digitize their world.

Factoring in the creativity I hope to instill in my children, I pray they can whole-heartedly dive into blogging, podcasting, video creating, editting, & all that should they so choose. But I will be looking to the aide of tracking software as a buffer (sort of like a security camera in a store... checking it randomly, and/or when suspiscion leads!) Mostly concerned about bouts of pornography, unwanted emails, and any other concerning behaviors. I guess my thought is: with everyone being on the same page/knowing what the rules & expectations are, privacy isn't being invaded. My motto has always been, don't go anywhere [online] you wouldn't want your little sister or your grandma to see [you go].

So, I've been contemplating a bit of a redesign. Not that I have the time, brain power or even sheer will to do so. But, none the less, the thought has been overly entertained (it's been served hors d'oeuvres, and is currently pleasantly involved with the jester & juggler at its beck & call!) This could come about in two different ways: Completely over the top, I could create a dual site, with your basic mt framework, all posted up in html. Otherwise it's a matter of creating a[nother] skin to fit the apparent mold, and integrate it into the system.

In the end it probably doesn't matter. Readership isn't likely to change. In the end, if you want to read something... if it's important enough to you, you read it.
ex: Andy's blog... love the man, but my biggest pet-peeve in the blogosphere is the black bg with white writing. It's really difficult for me to read, and in fact is a sore trigger for migraines for myself (it plays too harshly with lighting...) But, I read it... it's bookmarked, and I've even played up his link here. He's in college, he's otherwise occupied, and it's one of the ways I can keep up on him, and communicate. Andy's blog; just do it!

If anyone has any ideas, feels lead to design on my behalf, wants to completely tear apart my suggestions... bring it on!
If I only knew where to start I might better be able to tackle the mess. *suddenly feeling like Beth in the midst of the decisions, packing, moving, etc.*

Either that, or I could at least be conjuring up business/interest in my many (possibly marketable) hobbies. You know, the photographer/crochet fiend/webmaster/vocalist in me.
So it's decided, I'm going to prepare & order myself some free business cards, and begin promoting myself. What sort of titling should I use? Any suggestions would be welcome!
