Like Ant of Sousailor, I am always on the lookout for new widgets and other web 2.0 crap to beautify my life’s work online. If you cast your eyes right and down a bit, you will see a nice little widget called vodpod. It’s basically a simple way to blog your videos.
I wish I had Tillerman’s self-discipline in blog design (his blog is always so clean and fast to download) but I can’t resist these shiny objects. Hope they bring you as much joy as they bring me.
Baklava!
Thanks for the compliment.
My minimalist approach to blogging may be related to the fact that my wife and I are in the process of moving house and downsizing. We are getting rid of clutter that has accumulated in 20 years of bringing up a family in a largish house. The last thing I need on my blog is more clutter.
But I too once was a pack rat, a collecter of gizmos, a hoarder of interesting artifacts. The great thing about blogs is that like houses they too have basements where you can dump all the stuff you just can’t bear to throw away. Right down at the bottom of the sidebar is where most of it seems to accumulate in many blogs. If it brings you and your readers joy, then why not?
