[Me] Update: Yes I'm Still Here

Apologies to those of you who've been waiting for me to update this blog for how long now? As with every blogger under the sun I've real world events and commitments which I prioritise before a mere blog. More after the jump, which is also an exciting new update!

 

In these past few weeks I've been extremely busy with things which are varied in nature, but added together have been excessively time consuming, namely my exams. My exams are not over but I've now reached a point where I've enough free time to blog again, delivering your dose of lulz and even better - your face plants every Friday!

Before I continue into the changes I've made to the blog, I'll make one last statement concerning my lack of activity on the blog. From the 5th of May I held a 40 day silence on the blog as a mark of respect, I was still collecting material for the blog during that time so expect some bumper posting sessions to make up for this, excluding face plants as they're scarce enough. This post is dedicated in the memory of the events of the 5th of May.

Now - the exciting bit! I've been working behind the scenes to bring you two updates. Firstly I'm using a new blogging platform, [Windows Live Writer] to write my posts, the advantage of this being I'm no longer restricted to the petty web-based offering blogger offers you as standard and I can interact with other services using plug-ins. Secondly (and most notably), I've added an 'after the jump' system. On the main page only the first paragraph or so of a posts' text will be seen, it's up to you whether you wanna hit the jump and check out the rest of the post. I've also made some tiny changes to the template - none of which are worthy of note.

Finally, I've begun the process of shortlisting further changes for the blog, which will be placed in the sidebar. Examples include a random post button and a list of posts which have the greatest number of views/comments. I'll not share too much info on this as I don't want to spoil the surprise. I will not be changing the template at this time, as I'm more than happy with it but as always, your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy yourselves and prepare for the oncoming onslaught of content!
