New Banner for My Blog

Ok, so I finally made a banner for my blog:

And yeah, I changed my tagline at the end of September from “oprah made me do it” to “are you a tigger or an eeyore?” inspired by this wonderful talk by Randy Pausch.

New Blog Template

Well, here’s a look at my new blog template:

It still needs a little work, but it’s all mine. ;-)

Changed Tagline

I wasn’t quite feeling my last tagline, even though it was one of my favorite movie quotes – “don’t piss down my back and then tell me that’s it raining.” It was a little too edgy for my mild-mannered blog.

Anyway, in a flash, the phrase “oprah made me do it” popped into my head and alas, my new tagline was born. ;-)

And the Winner Is…

I’ve decided to use my favorite movie quote for my blog slogan.

From Outlaw Josey Wales:

don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining…

Batty, Batty, Batty

I STILL HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A NEW SLOGAN FOR MY BLOG.

This is starting to be a little troublesome.

GRRR.

Pressing Blog Issue

I really really really need to come up with a new tagline for my blog. Geez.

“my new home on the web…” is pretty tired.

I Think I’m Finding My Groove

After wondering if I was going to shut down Ph. Diddy and just be done with blogging, I seem to have found my groove.

Know thyself.

I know that I’m not going to post everyday so I’m not going to feel bad about that.

I know that personal sites are not for Adsense so I took that off my site.

I know that despite my introversion, I like being involved on the Internet even if only peripherally.

I know that I talk more nonsense than most. ;-)

Taking Baby Steps

Well, I still working on a new theme for my blog. I did make some small changes to its current theme.

Coming up with a new tagline for my blog is proving to be more challenging than I thought. I was almost tempted to go with “nappy-headed ho with a phd” but I can’t be sure that it wouldn’t be misconstrued, so I scratched the idea.

Never Gone Give You Up…

Well, I’ve been neglecting my blog a little. I don’t know if it’s so much offline activities getting in the way, or a lack of focus. I even contemplated killing my new blog for a split second. (yikes)

I think I will just let the chips fall where they may. However, I will try to tackle some of my proposed blog to-do’s from 3-28-07.

Settling In At My New Digs

Well, I’m trying to settle in at my new home at Ph. Diddy.Com.

I’m not convinced that I like the template I have chosen. Red links bother me. But I have tweaking furiously so I’m a little hesitant to switch templates. Although now that I’m writing this, I think I’ve just decided to do just that. ;-)

Here’s the old template:

Stay tuned to see whether I switch templates…
