August 28th, 2005. Unseen

As I mentioned in the comments, a year or so ago I was planning a big redesign of this site. I can't draw for toffee myself, but fortunately Dem from Guild Of Ghostwriters offered to step in and do some of the graphics for me.

Given that the New Design has now been abandoned, I thought it would be a small shame if his lovely design was never seen. Here, then, is the header he drew for me:

It's really rather good.

August 21st, 2005. Missing

I've made the first steps in creating a new website. No idea how long it's going to take me, though.

Dem: thanks for offering to do more graphics. I still feel slightly guilty that, as I've never uploaded the New Design for this site, I've never posted the lovely graphics you did for it. Must make sure I do that some time. Well done on being mentioned in the Guardian, incidentally.

When you wear something forever and always, you forget that it's there. You stop registering it in your head. It's when it goes missing that you notice it; when something should be there but has disappeared.

Well, I've been getting that feeling a lot for the past couple of months, but the strange thing is that it feels as if something I've never even worn has disappeared. Specifically, I keep getting the definite feeling that there should be a ring on my left ring finger, but it's gone missing. Now, I did at one time always wear a ring on my middle finger, but I've never had one on either ring finger at all. For some reason, though, my brain has become convinced that one is supposed to go there.

August 15th, 2005. Time to vote

As you've noticed - if anyone is still reading - I haven't been updating regularly for a long time now. Getting back into blogging would be nice, but I'm not sure I want to restart this site. Times change, circumstances change, and I'm wondering if I should start a new blog completely from scratch.

Because of that, I'm asking anyone who's still reading to vote:

1) Should I restart?
2) If I do, should I start up a new, completely unrelated site with no links to this one at all?
3) If I do that, should I:
a) start it completely from scratch
b) repost the more interesting and/or popular entries from this blog on the new one
c) keep everything apart from personal stuff?

If I do this, it will take a while anyway, to arrange it all and come up with a decent design. So don't expect this place to vanish. But I'd be interested in what you think.
