General malaise...

I know I'm not the most prolific blogger. Most of the time, I seem to be able to find something to write about at least 3 days a week, but lately, not so much. I don't know what it is, but I just can't seem to write anything. My visits and page views are down, and I've dropped back to Lowly Insect in the Ecosystem.

Part of the problem, I think, is that unlike some of my favorite bloggers, I self-censor. Michele at A Small Victory and Laurence Simon over at Amish Tech Support have no problem in this regard - if it bugs them, they blog about it. If it amuses them, they write about it. If it makes them proud, they rave about it. I can't seem to get past the "I can't say that publicly" bit, sometimes.

My blog is a hodgepodge of stuff - ranging from frivolous memes like Friday Five and This-or-That entries to rants about a variety of things. No politics, though. That brings in readers, but I just can't seem to write about politics.

I was going to try to make this a kind of techie blog, but that never materialized - I've got two entries on scripting: How to skin using Javascript, a tutorial on adding skins to your blog without having to use php, and More is Less, a tutorial on using Javascript to hide and unhide portions of your blog. Two entries. Two entries does not a techie journal make.

Ah, well. I shall keep blogging, and you, my FiveFaithfulFollowers (you know who you are) will keep reading, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to "kick it up a notch" (oh, no! I hate that guy! how'd he get into my blog?!?) and make things interesting enough to attract a few more of FaithfulFollowers. And if not? *shrug* Life will go on.

Oh yes, I almost forgot: <beg>put me in your blogroll and Join the Ecosystem, and help me claw my way back up to Slimy Mollusc!</beg>
