I’ll be the first to admit I’ve really neglected this website. So now, I introduce Jabba. The name doesn’t really have much significance except for that I love Star Wars. I’ve moved over to WordPress 2.5, written a theme from scratch1, and completely changed my outlook on this website.
I planned initially on merging my Tumblr account into this website and integrating the “tumbles” into the main website, but I decided against it. Instead, I’ll update both, as the focus of each is different. My Tumblr account is going to focus on the funny and quirky stuff I find around the Internet, and this will focus primarily on more in-depth writing, more reviews, and posts that deal with something a little more thoughtful.
One big change is the lack of comments. I had lots of trouble with comment spam—I honestly have no idea how the A-listers deal with it—and I just don’t have time to deal with it. The comment threads weren’t exactly burning anyway, so if you want to talk to me, use the contact form and send me an email. I’ll try to reply as soon as I can, promise.
I’ve said it plenty of times before, but I really want to stick to a regular posting schedule. I’d love to be able to pull off one in-depth article a week, with a sprinkling of smaller thoughts in between, but I don’t know if that’s feasible. What I do know is that I’m going to finally start writing posts in advance—at least, more so than I’ve been doing for the past few years.
For my fresh start I am going to ditch one-hundred and thirty-three posts. I will, more likely than not, pull in a handful of favorite posts, but for the most part, everything is going to be fresh. It’s not a decision I took on lightly; there’s a lot of me dating back just over three years, but I hope that everything on this site from now onwards is going to be the highest quality of content that I can produce. This has another negative consequence: I lose what comments I had. I apologize to everyone who poured their thoughts into a textarea.
Expect this site to have a few bugs for a while2, but I’ll try to smooth them out and keep adding new features. Thanks to everyone who’s been reading (and commenting) this long!
