New Theme Time? Almost but maybe its time for a new Direction

As I keep stopping by my own site, I keep thinking its about time for a new theme.  I haven’t quite figured out where I’m going to go with such a thing, but I am looking at several direction changes, and this blog will probably change as well.

Years ago this started as a whim, as a test site even, a place to go to break writers block.

I’m not really using it for any of those reasons lately, and frankly its not as funny as it used to be.  That’s partly because I’ve split off my humor writing efforts across several other sites so that I could ‘focus on a niche’ or something crazy like that.

But lately, I’m starting to think that all that ‘pursue your niche’ advice that I loosely followed might have been bogus, or at least not the right fit for me.  It led me to cover a lot of niches because I’m frankly a fairly multi-faceted person (as are many people).  But at the same time if I write just in a niche here and just in a niche there, etc, I’m basically splitting myself apart a bit.

That might be good for a casual visitor to my site that comes in from Gia knows where and can’t get their bearings but, you know what that’s part of what comes with my friendship.  If you know where I’m coming from everytime you talk with me, then I’m obviously not putting a lot of effort into things like I should be, which probably means I’m boring you and me.  That’s not really what happens with me most of the time, so I shouldn’t try and squeeze my sites into a mold that doesn’t fit me.

All that said, one of the reasons why I split myself up on multiple sites ages ago, was due to limitations in the blogging technology.  But these days, its a lot easier for me to be as complex as I wanna be, and still keep the site organized enough for people to navigate to the areas they like without getting lost (or offended by my weird sense of humor, politics, causes, etc).

hmmmm. more to follow, probably in actions more than words
