Over the course of the last several days, I have been thinking about renovating my blog. I know that content is important when it comes to attracting visitors, especially when working on building a solid readership. However, I don’t always have the time to sit down at the computer and concentrate on website design. Needless to say, I’ve been researching companies that I may consider enlisting in helping me do this.

One of the companies that I found is a website design firm in Ottawa, so I’ve been looking at their site lately. What I like a lot about this Ottawa website design firm is that they’re well aware of the importance of SEO, or search engine optimization. Since I want to do everything I can to promote my blog, I’m really considering utilizing their services! On top of that, there are a lot of extremely nice Joomla web design themes that I can also purchase for my blog. My knowledge of WordPress blog layout coding is somewhat limited, as I only know how to edit layouts that already come made for me. Being able to find nice and affordable layouts like these are always a major plus in my book!

We could never get Jason to wear his blue Spongebob sunglasses, but he’ll wear mine without a problem and like it! At least he looks cute doing it, though. For those of you who might be new to reading my blog, Matt gave these sunglasses to me sometime last summer. Now I share them with my son.

Over the course of these last few weeks, I’ve been converting my favorite CDs to mp3 files so I can listen to them on this computer. In addition, I’ve also been working on improving my music collection and ensuring that all of my music on here reflects my tastes. I’ve long since gotten tired of having to reach above the desktop on the shelves above it to reach one or two CDs, just to have to repeat the entire process putting them back. Seeing as how I’m so short, I can’t easily do that! On top of things, my father’s under the impression that too much use of my CD-ROM will contribute to its demise. So I’ve been doing a lot of directory synchronization lately, sometimes overwriting the files that I’ve already downloaded copies of.

Right now, I’ve gotten through some of my favorite foreign music and Lady Gaga. For some reason, I’ve found myself wanting to listen to both of those lately… so where better to begin? Next, I’d like to back up some of my favorite boy bands like EYC, Michael Fredo and Phoenix Stone. Do any of you guys know those singers, or remember them? They’re some of my favorites. :

Well, my book report is almost done! Over the course of the next several days, I’m going to continue to make some minor adjustments to it as needed… but I feel fairly confident in it as it is right now. That’s good, because it’s not due until just before Spring Break. My main concern was getting it done and out of the way so that I wouldn’t forget about it until nearly the last minute. More importantly, should something happen during this pregnancy that demands my immediate attention, I’ve been working ahead on assignments in some of my classes so that they can be turned in early — or by one of my friends in my own absence. Not only does that allow me to turn in assignments at an earlier date if need be, but it also allows me more time to do some of the other things that I do.
