Until then, ENJOY!!

A bit of beginners blogging advice I’ve bumped into many times (but never really put into use) is to make a mission statement or some sort of plan to know where you’re going with your content. I’ve never had something like that since I’ve started blogging and decided to post content whenever I had the time or just felt like it. It made me lazy, but well, I’d like to think that without that time constraint, my posts were of decent quality. Earlier today, I developed a plan that will turn blm around for as long as I can keep it up.

Firstly, I’m going to starting a new category of posts entitled “From My Library” or “FML” for short (see what I did there?). These posts will feature albums and singles in my music collection that I haven’t gotten around to reviewing or have an interesting back story or just do something special to me – special enough to post about, regardless of how old it is. Kind of like “revisits” posts but with a particular album or single. That and I only have one “revisits” post…

Secondly, I’ve devised a weekly schedule of posts to come out:

• Every Wednesday, a new FML will be posted on the front page.
• Every Friday, a new review will be posted on the front page.
• Every Sunday, a recap of what was posted & what’s to come for the next week.

And for the month:

• On the first Saturday, the Wota Wonderings email will be sent to those on the mailing list.
  • (To join the mailing list, hit up my contact me page.)
• On the third Sunday at 01:00 EST, the Wota Wonderings posts should be up.

Thirdly, any non-FML and non-Review post will get the same treatment as how I used to blog since those come every so often. Whenever one of those pop up, they’ll be on the right-hand side of the main site.

I think that’s all that I’m planning. It’s good that I’m finally using my “News” category again, though I think that this one’s kinda out of place. I didn’t want to put it under aside since the aside category would catch it. This deserves to be on the main page. *sigh* I digress.

So, readers, stay tuned to a new and improved boylikesmusic. <3

But anyway, to keep me sane during coding for the system, I was working on the new blm theme on the side and well, this is it. I put it up yesterday actually but didn’t make a post about it since I was just working out the live kinks. There’s actually one thing I’d like to do to it but I’ll keep that a secret until I actually do it. I’ll give you a hint though: it involves more colour.

Anyway, using the theme I had before (entitled The Morning After) taught me a lot of things I didn’t know about wordpress. I started with modifying little parts and adding them into the theme. It worked, but now that I know how that stuff works, I wanted to do it all from scratch and have the freedom of doing things without having to worry about breaking other sections or sifting through the CSS to change something and figure out the hard way that it affects something else in the theme.

Anyway, I hope you like it. Comments are appreciated. If you want the code for it, just let me know and I can see what I can do about packaging it up. It’s definitely not something that works out-of-the-box. If you like tinkering around in PHP then you might enjoy it.

Anyway, next week is exam week so the week after that should be back to business as usual. It’s gonna be 20C outside today… I want to play some tennis.

I just wanted to say that I’m not dead. School’s been kicking me in the bee-hind and rekindling my love for PC gaming isn’t probably the best thing to do but ah well. We all know the things we become the most interested in happens during crunch time in college.

So actually, I’ve been working on revamping blm completely with a self-made theme from scratch and help from the wordpress.org documentation. It’s coming along nicely.

I’ve also been working on my One Room Disco (Perfume) review and my Tane (No Sleeves) review but something about the both of them seems incomplete. I’ll need to sit down with them for a bit longer.

Anyway, I hope the internets doesn’t implode while I’m dealing with life on this end.

Later days.

Also, thanks again to all the readers and listeners and everyone who made 5800 unique hits possible.

Here’s to another 5800! (btw, that’ll equal out to 11600).

Now for the additions:

• There’s a new banner!
• Both the featured article and latest review have icons beside their excerpts.
• I’ve added a link to the archives to the top.
• I’ve set up some “Spotlight Categories” in the top section of the side bar.
• The footer now has links to the latest posts, latest comments, and tags

I guess I forgot to mention that I added the sitemap and contact me sections and the twitter widget a while ago. Whoops!

Anyway, check them out and comment if you find any problems with these changes.
