I just took a look at PC's design last night, and it's pretty out of date.
Well, not the overall design, since that's pretty much a blog design in a nutshell, but more like the references are dated and ought to be revamped.
Geek and Sundry? That place kind of imploded when founder Felicia Day and then Critical Role left.
The About Me section? Hoo boy is THAT dated.
Some parts of the blog design I can't get around Blogger's limitations, such as it's inability to provide the latest YouTube content in the same way that you receive blog feed content. You'd think that Google owning both Blogger and YouTube would want better integration in the same way that Google+ worked, but nooo.....
Still, I'm not giving up on the platform right now. I just need to freshen this place up a bit.

The reason my blog has looked the same for a decade isn't from choice. Well, it is in that I made a choice long ago and now i'm stuck with it. I wanted to do something Blogger won't let you do (Can't even remember what it was now.) and I found a custom script for it online and installed it. Ever since I haven't dared to change anything in case it breaks and I have to figure out how to fix it. I'm reasonably confident I could but I'm absolutely sure I don't want to have to!
ReplyDeleteI'm always vaguely thinking that when Google rmember Blogger exists and turn it off I'll do something new somewhere else but so far they seem content to leave it in maintenance mode, which suits me even better.
I'm content for them to leave it in maintenance mode too, most likely because it requires a minimal amount of manpower to keep going. I'd have considered migrating to Wordpress a long time ago were it not for watching all of the crazy things that Wordpress comes up with, courtesy of Wilhelm numerous posts on the subject. On the semi-bright side, I did create Azeroth After Dark on Wordpress, although it really only links to this blog for the time being.
