good enough, redux

as far as the blog itself, I added a navigation menu (above) to help with the loosely-organized overload of information. I finally got a quote-rotator to work (every visit to my blog=different quote [out of 5, for now]), so half of the sidebar is no longer taken up by paragraphs of not-Galen (thank heavens!). I also divided up the media links into 'serious' and 'interesting'; 'serious' media will be media which I find more profound than fascinating. It is not so much a division of quality as it is a division of nourishment.

I also plan to add labels to my posts, which will make them more easily searchable; specifically, labels dividing 'personal' posts from 'blog-related' posts such as this one. I might also start posting poetry/short stories/visual art/all-of-the-above-in-one, and those might be labelled 'creative.'

My blog is alive, with the sound of music! I added 12 more songs to the playlist, and put it on shuffle. Unfortunately, the 'shuffle' feature is not very smart; like my quote-rotator, it will often alternate between 3 songs/quotes before moving on to a different one. Luckily, we're humans—not drones—so you can click the >> button until you find a song more to your liking. Or, should you be so inclined, even [] the music altogether!! *gasp*

I plan to get Italy and Newgrange pictures up by the end of the weekend; thanks for hanging in there!

To a fun weekend ahead,

Cheers!
