No, it is not due to the economic crisis storming over the world to which I’m not totally venerable. Though some projects seems being put a hold forever life is still all right because old codes still need maintenance for long time. Hmm, just write a lot of codes and you’ll survive until all enterprises die - no joke!

The positive side of a downturn is you’ll often have to reallocate time and occasionally you get more time spare for non-official tasks like study, reading, and blogging. Of course, I fall into a rare case that I have fewer projects to carry out and I’ll make use of that to resume my favorite job: talking about web.

A Look Back

Starting this blog since the very first day of 2008, I soon learned that blogging is not an easy job. The famous Mike Arrington of TechCrunch hardly gets 8 hours for sleeping a day and once you dedicate your time for blogging, time for relaxation or other leisure turns out so luxurious!

For about five or six months I’ve written very little, however thanks to Google, “Just Talk About Web” blog looks still alive with 300 visitors a day average. I just feel I own them a lot for not able to write more.

A Makeover

This blog was my first attempt to enter blogging sphere, a lot of interesting things to discover, and like many others I tried out many “promotion” methods like link building/exchange. One day I found there were so many widgets sticking on the sidebar and most of them hardly brought any clear benefit to my blog instead made it a huge mess.

Today you can see a much cleaner theme (still based on old theme nevertheless): all unnecessary widgets are removed leaving more space for contents, sidebar is almost left for ads and a big footer for internal links and index. Hope you like it and feel free to add your ideas.

Now everything appears in shape and I’m back :)
