My blog evolution

My blog has evolved somewhat since the first time I made an entry to what it is today. Though nothing fancy as some of the other better designed blogs out there, it was a nice place to call my own and where I could rant and rave to my hearts content. I’m not much into controversy and many of the items blogged here are mostly about my mundane life as well as a huge photo gallery for the various photos I’ve taken through these few long years. I first started out due to the encouragement of Adrian but took a while before I got going due to the inert fear of not being used to writing html codes and such. The first few entries were mostly attempts to give a Malaysian insight to places that I've travelled and been and also several entries of personal nature and opinions. This soon evolved into more general writing on current issues, humor and annecdotes while sticking to the main theme of being a photoblog first and foremost. With the discovery of Project Petaling Street I soon turned the blog to one more of a mass appeal rather than just a personal endeavour.

From the start I wanted to streamline my blog, at the current moment I’ve always found that entries are a mess; at times when I’ve a lot to rant there are long entries of written text, some serious others not while during slack times the front page is often inundated with pictures from the various weekly contests that I joined. I always wanted to maintain my entries separated, one section for personal writings while another exclusively as a photoblog but blogger does not allow much in terms of customization for such a feature nor am I able to afford to pay for space online for my own domain being a struggling student and all. These handicaps notwithstanding, I'm pretty happy with what I have accomplish at present though I still wish for a better understanding on code writing to modify the blog template to one more suited for my purpose.

Recently I’ve been toying with the idea of separating my blog into two components such as many of the other bloggers out there are doing yet taking a huge part out of Thousand Words most assuredly will stagnate the main site and lead it down a different path from what it is now and maybe that is too high a price to pay. Who knows, I’m toying with various ideas as of now maybe really splitting my own personal blog and making a separate one especially for photos and Malaysian travel entries. Time will only tell to what effect this will bring to Thousand Words but since I’ve not that many usual readers I don’t think it will be missed that much. What is hoped in the end result is a crisp, easily navigatable and interesting blog that people of various purposes, interests and idiosycrancies will enjoy. Look out for it, as soon as I have time to fiddle around that is.
