…of editing this site. If you notice odd features throughout the site, that well, you usually wouldn’t, it is because I’m in the middle of “re-designing” and also “editing” the site.

For quite some time now, I’ve been telling myself that I will finally create a custom design for my poor template-based website. I have yet to do that and its only because I have no inspiration to do so. I’m not sure why though? In the past, visitors to my site always complained to me about how I would change my layouts every week and if I had ever actually left one up for more then that! Now it’s like; Yay you changed the layout, but to another crappy premade WordPress template…not so great.

Like most people I try visiting CSS galleries and other’s website to find that “OMG instant inspiration”, but it just doesn’t come to me. I’m wondering if maybe my creative juices are just being sucked up by me working on client websites? Makes sense and then it doesn’t, right?

Well, I dunno. I just felt like ranting about this, since it have been on my mind for quite sometime and hopefully SOON everyone can see a much tasteful layout then the normal template. =(

Question of the day: What helps inspire you to create a new layout for your website?

PS: YAY! Barack Obama is president! =D

Wow SPAM sure is moving on up when it comes to comment posts. They look so believable, until you read it and wonder what on earth they are relating to. In my last post, I actually think I got one of those “smart-spam” comments, but not too sure, so I left it up, but going over to one of my “online friend’s” blog convinced me that it was a fake. In her latest blog entry she has two SPAM comments, that if you didn’t really read the blog post, could pass for a legit comment. Another way I knew they were fake, their URLS matched. Dead give away.

Comments on the post

The worst is seeing forum spam and not knowing if they are an actual member or just a spam bot…or both! This happened not too long ago on my job’s forum, Surmunity. A client had just signed up and in posted in the welcome board, but instead of saying the normal “Hi, I’m new” he went into his favorite band that he liked and some other stuff about their music and posted even posted links. Now what is the first thing that comes up in your mind when reading something like that? SPAM! But it turned out after posting about it that he wasn’t spam and just a really big fan that wanted to publicize about his fave band. Hey no shame in that, just should have paid attention to the board you were posting in and first introduced yourself.

Other then that, I just have to hand it to SPAM bots these days, they sure know how to fool someone.

Any odd SPAM comments or post you have seen that you thought they were legit until you figured out they were fake?
