Moving Soon!

Dear friends,

My prayers were answered. I am moving to a place of my own. There are no words to describe how I feel; I am over the moon.

This unexpected, exciting move has prompted me to think about whether or not I should move this blog to merge with my Wordpress blog. It simply makes no sense having two personal blogs. I've chosen Wordpress because I've found it to be a fantastic blogging flatform. Not only does it work consistently well, but it has quickly expanded my readership without my doing anything at all. Wordpress magically brings me readers from search engines, its own tagging system and other bookmarking sites in a more efficient manner than Blogger ever did for me.

The only drawback is that on my current free Wordpress-hosted blog, I cannot customize my template or toy with the HTML. I am hoping to eventually host my Wordpress blog on another server so that I can bring back the Hot Pink theme and have my own domain name; however, this may not happen for months.

I suggest that you change your bookmarks to http://cinthia.wordpress.com because starting this weekend, I am going to gradually move over all of my posts from here to there.

I would like to make my official blog move coincide with the day of my move to my new apartment on October 14, 2006.

Hope you stick with me!

Cinthia

Unleashing the Pink Monster

2006-03-10T02:00:00.000-05:00

In case you’re wondering what I’ve been up to this whole week, well, you’re looking at it right now. Welcome to the eye-killing design of my revamped blog, which I masterfully created with the automatic template generator, PsyCho, along with the Color Scheme Generator 2.

I know, it’s a little on the bright side. I figured if I couldn’t wake people up with my dull, long posts that read like there’s no tomorrow, at least I’d give them a nice jolt when they popped in and then out of my blog. Electrifying, isn’t it?

Let truth be told that I chose the color scheme on purpose to bring trouble to those of you surfing blogs at work when you should be working. There you are, about to open Cinthia’s blog, completely unaware and wondering if I’ve come back from the dead to write a post yet, and BAM! This bright, bloody PINK thing comes at you in full force and lets everyone around you know you clearly must be looking at a girly girl’s website, a belly dancer’s no less. Ooooh, shame on you, mister! I was tempted to create a giant banner with a photo of myself or some other belly dancer posing in a belly dancing costume, but PsyCho tired me out before I got to that. I tell you, it takes hard work to click buttons and fill in blank boxes!

Eventually I imagine I’ll get weary of the flamboyant pink hues, but for now this will do. I find the bright colors invigorating and stimulating, and feel almost energized to write more often now. Err, I don’t want to say that I will because I know I won’t. What can I say? I’m a lazy bum. But a nice lazy bum, I’d like to think, for I much prefer reading and commenting on other people’s posts than writing my own. There’s my (lame) excuse for not writing more often.

2:00 a.m. Off to sleep I finally go. It's going to be another great battle to get out of bed tomorrow. Maybe I should have my pink monster handy...
