interruption, number 1 of 6





I know what you're thinking. Where's today's photo? Jmarls80 left a comment yesterday asking me if that had been my photo attached to the post ... which it was. I think (although I cant be bothered looking) that all the photos on the blog are mine, I'm sure would have said if they weren't (oh, obviously not the Cindy Sherman photo way back at the start) . Where was I going with this? I'm drinking tea right now, which is useless. It makes me drowsy and forgetful .

The shark! That's right. No photo, just a shark. The shark was drawn by Allie at Hyperbole and a Half, a blog which must be viewed. I love it. There is something ... well, it's just brilliantly fucking nuts. Its either a work of artistic insanity or just genius. I cant decide. 

Also, ages ago ... this has no relevance to anything else I was saying by the way ... I decided to switch to Wordpress instead of Blogger, because, if you believe everything that seems to be written all over the place, Wordpress is a "grown up" "real" "professional" blogging system for "real" "professional" "grown up" people ... but I am here to tell you that it's not. It's terrible. It's the most ridiculous thing I have ever come across and seriously, if you are one of these people who think, "gee, I wish I had chosen Wordpress in the first place" then don't bother. It's awful. Choose any other blogging platform BUT wordpress.

What else ...

Is it wordpress,

Ha...I did the same thing with wordpress. Moved there...set up shop and it was awful. if you don't have CSS skillz you're fucked. So I packed everything up and went back to blogger. I am happy as a baby on my momma's breast!

There's something brilliant about the juxtaposition of your choosing Wordpress out of your desire to be "adult"...and the shark picture.

wordpress is EVIL!!!!!

The most difficult yoke to use ever AND you can't even change the templates easily!!

So, yes i agree with you

blogger = good idea

wordpress = bad idea

I'm loving Wordpress, but then again, maybe I'm a real grown-up...

Ha!

...or maybe I just got lucky.

Just came from Allie's place and loved what I found there.

Tea is making you drowsy and forgetful? What kind of tea? When I drink tea it turns me into a genius and makes me live in the toilet.

Oh, Wordpress is just nuts in my opinion. Why do they need to make everything SO much more bloody awkward??

Instead of one click, why not make four clicks the ideal number of clicks necessary for one blinking reason or another. Der...because it's a waste of time.

I heard so much about how marvellous it was, how it was uber customisable... EH??? It's fiddly and ridiculous.

I went straight back to Blogger. They have their faults, but it's easy to use and VERY customisable.

Agree about Hyperbole. V good.
