'Tis The Season For Augmentation

"That time" of the year

Sitting by the back door here feeling the freshness sweep in from the garden with the wind, I write this as I recover from my latest bout of hedonistic adventures last night at that notorious nightclub, Furnace. Feeling the pains of recovery from too much intake of Bourbon (not to mention waking up still pissed as I tend to do more often than having a hangover luckily) I drum up the strenth to face yet another night out on the town and on the turps. Hopefully. No plans yet.
But amidst all of this, insynced with that stale feeling you get after a heavy night boozing, I was looking at my blog design and decided it too, was stale. Time for an overhaul I reckon.

With thanks to these two and their Blog-esque ways of late, it has me looking at my own. Not only this, but also doing the rounds of other blogs out there, I've noted their design elements, templates, colour palette, and layouts. Some are fantastic. Others are just plain shithouse. Think of it as social comparison in a way. Presentation is everything, other than content and quality. So in hindsight, I got thinking about my own. There seems to be some space here to do something with it. Something that will convey who I am, what my blog is, and all that shite. Also some things have been shitting me with the look of it lately, so there's another excuse for a revamp.

I was going to do a short-listing of the new features in The Written Word 2.1 but I'd rather have you ogle over it when it comes out. Even I don't know what exactly I'll do to it, but the vision is somewhere in my head.

Oh, and as for this "that time* header at the top, that will be revealed in due time as well.
