One of the main reasons I haven’t been able to blog lately is that my life has been segregated into various forms of microblogging.

Moments of my life have been summarised into 140 characters publicly and privately. I share any trivial or random stuff via an intuitive sharing community. I tag all online researches or interesting links I find via online bookmarking. These and everything else — can be random videos, feed finds, blog feeds — are then currently aggregated to my umbrella site, which was formerly my portfolio.

And because my current work doesn’t exactly involve work I’ve trained my self with, I am getting a bit rusty. So work I get on the side helps a lot, and as well tinkering around all my current sites. But my busy schedule hasn’t been really kind, having a day-job that extends til evening and being a full-time wife now.

I have so many designs in my head I can’t put to good use yet. I don’t have the time for my personal projects like I did before. (Hence using a good WP theme from 5thirtyone)

I sometimes feel guilty that I don’t get to update this blog as much as I could before. But then I told my self that I shouldn’t feel pressured into blogging often. This is my own place for my own run-on thoughts however mundane or serious they may be. So I might not be able to blog often, but I’d still blog.

Upgraded to WP 2.8. Had to change themes though as previous one doesn’t work with 2.8 smiley

Sweet and Sour - the new layout

Today commemorates this blog’s sixth birthday. Six years of blogging which is also equivalent to the number of years I have been online (give or take a few months).

This of course warrants something new or special for my dear blog which equates to an upgrade to the latest Wordpress 2.5. And with that, also fresh new layout.

I’m hoping this lasts longer than the previous one. I wasn’t entirely happy with it, as it looked a bit too tight for me. Sure it works with no hitches on the WP upgrade, but it still looked a bit dated.

Hence the new layout: Letterhead.
