About to fall asleep...

Sick today. My throat got irritated late last night, and I woke up with it sore this morning. I've been trying to fight it off, so we'll see what happens. The days are just changing so drastically. Yesterday it barely hit 20. Today it almost hit 30. So the weather is increasing about 10 degrees a day. I just hope I don't get too sick. March is so crazy.

I love WordPress. Blogger is a pain for a few reasons. One is that they haven't changed the designs in years. While I can't change the CSS to the WordPress templates without paying, the templates are better than the Blogger ones, and they add to them and make them more modern. Blogger also had no stats system. It's not exceedingly important that I know people are reading it, but it's nice to see when you don't get any comments. I also love that the tags make it so that people can find your posts. It's all networked. It's pretty cool. I also was able to import my old stuff from Blogger. The Dashboard at WordPress is a little overwhelming at first, especially if you've been using things like Blogger and LiveJournal, which are fairly easy to figure out. There's just a lot to WordPress, but it doesn't take very long to get the hang of it.

Anyway, I did set up over there. I even put up the Kelly Clarkson album review. I think I'm getting confident in writing my opinions again. I've also been a little more motivated lately, so I can try to keep things updated. Here's the new URL: http://hearmeasiam.wordpress.com/

And now...time to get ready for bed since my medicine kicked in, and I'm now very sleepy...

Shawn doesn't like wordpress, but I love it. I love the templates and the many options and, of course, the stats counter. I love my wordress blog! :3 And I agree that it is a much better option than blogger, especially for "writing." I know a lot of art and design people who like Blogger better.

Good luck with your new blog! While I'm not really a music person, I'll certainly stop by.

He doesn't? I think it's great. My only issue is that I can't do CSS myself unless I pay for it. The stats aren't completely important, but I love that I can see where everything is coming from and how people got there.

Thanks. Hopefully it won't get shoved into the corner like it did last time.

Thanks, I'm getting there. Yeah, it hit about 18/19 on Monday. I want 68... It's March. It should be warmer.

I think 68 is still too warm for me in March :P
