Links-O-Rama

Hey, look! It's only Tuesday and this is my second entry this week! I do listen after all! But yeah, anyway this is intended as a short entry to draw everyone's attention to a new page -- the links page.

This page is at the moment a work-in-progress, much like the cast page is, but the essential difference is there is actually something to see on this page, unlike with the cast page. I should spend less time playing games and more time working on my journal, methinks. Anyhow, this links page has all kinds of useful informative links on it -- diaries you should read, comics you should read, and websites you should visit.

The diary list is more complete than the one on my side-bar, and it is actually this list that prompted me to create a links page because the side-bar just won't be big enough for the growing list of diaries I am reading. Besides, once I find or create a new template I will be scrapping the side-bar list. In some ways, I am a little reluctant to do this -- since I expect that diaries listed on a side-bar would be visited more often than ones you have to go to a separate links page to find. But then again, who wants passing trade? You all deserve loyal, dedicated readers who aren't afraid of actually looking for something new to read.

Sometime soon, I will actually be providing the individual diary links with their own synopsis -- but this I feel is more tricky than describing just a website. Since I am describing individuals -- many, varied, unique and very talented individuals -- I want to make sure I describe them accurately, but also in ways that I would like them to approve of. Maybe I could get everyone to write their own descriptions? It's an idea, at least.

I'm open to suggestions for links to include on the miscellaneous section -- or even the comics section, but I am very picky about my comics -- and much like my own computer's music folder, once a common theme emerges in the miscellaneous group I will make a new section. Does that make sense? Like how I am debating making an entirely separate section for bands and recording artists, but currently I think it would be too small to be worthwhile. But I am always open to suggestions.

In a similar way, I am open to suggestions as to what the hell I should do with my diary's style. I want something new, but I have little clue as to what exactly it is that I want from it. What I need is a steady income coming in without having to actually go out and earn it, that way I would have the time for things like learning the necessary skills for creating a new template. Ho hum.

So anyway, go visit the links page and feel free to email me any suggestions you should have. And, as ever, I will probably pay no attention -- in the nicest possible way, of course.
