Getting carried away…

So for the third night in a row I’ve updated the design of my website.  What’s new?

1. More random pencil scribbles.  Separators, bullet points, etc.
2. Recent blog posts are now being displayed on the sticky note on all non-blog pages.  Some character escaping still needed.
3. Somewhat renders ok in IE.  But then again, what sites ever really render properly in IE?

All this time spend and still no real content on my site…

‘Tis the season?

Sufjan Stevens “Songs For Christmas” has begun to get heavy rotation on my sleeping music playlist.  I think this means that I’m subconsciously longing for Christmas.  I did the same thing last summer too.  I’m assuming the cycle will continue until someone puts out a “Songs For Memorial Day” album.

Advice of the day…

When choosing a domain name for your firearms exchange website, consider how it reads.

Case in point: www.shootersexchange.com

…just something to consider.

Mike Leotta || Blog, the very best of…

So I’ve been blogging for exactly one month now. Wow! Has it really been one whole month already? With all this experience under my belt, it’s about time I highlight some of the best moments in the history of Mike Leotta || Blog. Here we go!

1. First Post! Feb 10 — Here’s the one that started it all! That’s about it. No one read this.
2. There was something floating in my beer… Feb 18 — I posted a picture for this one. That was pretty awesome. And then four coworkers commented on it. Count ‘em, four!
3. Space is awesome when things explode! Feb 21 — Here, I commented on a current event and then embedded a video! It’s pretty obvious that I really hit my stride on this one.
4. Date selection calendars, what not do to… Feb 24 — I talked about some stuff and complained about some other stuff. I also included pictures. There was more than one paragraph.
5. An open letter to Steve Jobs… Feb 25 — I really opened up for this one. I let everyone see into the mind of a man suffering as a result of a dying PC. I also expressed my love for another man’s wardrobe. This post probably cost me half of my readers. And by half I mean 2 people.
6. Greenishyyyy!!! Feb 28 — I updated my site design. People pretended to care.
7. “PS Dog Muppet“ Mar 3 — ummm….
8. Robots, dogs, monsters, etc… Mar 3 — A failed attempt to comment intelligently on art. However, it was my second post of the day. Mark March 3rd as the day that Mike Leotta officially became a serious blogger.
9. Not so Gr8, Permission Marketing foul on JetBlue Mar 6 — Wrote some things, complained about some stuff. I also mocked one of my favorite authors about his self-promoting tendencies, while simultaneously promoting one of his books. I lost my remaining two readers.
10. Mike Leotta || Blog, the very best of… Mar 10 — Here’s when I highlighted some of the best moments in the history of my blog. It didn’t turn out very well.

Well folks, there you have it. Blame Wysz for this. It was his idea.
