Back, and Better than Ever

May 22nd, 2009 by Manda | No Comments | Filed in Online

Well, “better than ever” is probably a little too ambitious, but I can always hope, right? ;)

I’m back from my short hiatus! I did a lot of thinking about the formatting of this blog and I’ve decided on a few things:

  • I’m changing the format of my reviews. The current format of summary, initial reaction, final reaction, and overall rating isn’t doing it for me anymore. Frankly, there are far better and comprehensive reviews of popular movies and TV shows out there, and they weren’t fun to write anymore. Instead, I’m going to have a short summary, five adjectives I would use to describe my reaction, most and least impressive (no more than a sentence or two), and then overall rating. It’ll be shorter, far more concise, and most likely spoiler-free.
  • Interviews will be put on an indefinite hiatus. I have loved conducting all of the interviews that have been posted, but lately, my heart just hasn’t been into coming up with questions for each interviewee. I figure that for now, I’ll put interviews on hold. In the future, if I am interested in doing interviews again, I will contact the remaining people who have expressed interest in being interviewed but have yet to receive questions. If there is still interest in the interviews then, I will start them up again. For now, though, there aren’t going to be any interviews anytime soon.
  • Wednesdays will now be used to talk about all things related to my personal ventures into arts and crafts. Since the opening of my Etsy shop, I’ve been spending most of my free time either making crafts or looking into new crafting ideas I can try my hand at. I’ll essentially be using Wednesdays to promote my Etsy shop and getting the word out about its existence, as well as showcasing individual crafting projects I’m working on, both personal projects and those related to the shop.

Things will go back to normal around here with these new changes starting tomorrow!

These interviews started with the intention of getting to know my online friends better, and exposing a side of them that might not necessarily be apparent online. Each interviewee was asked ten questions, five of which were generic, and five of which directly applied to the specific individual. If you are interested in being interviewed, please leave a comment on this post.

Interview with Krissy of shimmerlikegold.org:

  • Do your friends and family know you have a blog? If so, do they read it?
    No, they don’t. A few years ago, my friends knew I had livejournal (a few of them did, too) and we read each others, but aside from that, they don’t know about any of my current online escapades. As for family, I know my mom knows I have a domain, but I never talk about it, nor have I ever told her what it was (and I don’t plan to).

Interview with Carmen of carmabelle.com:

  • Do your friends and family know you have a blog? If so, do they read it?
    My parents – definitely not. Friends and other family have stumbled upon it because I’ve linked it on my Facebook profile, but I’m not sure if they’re regular readers.
  • When did you first start becoming involved in the “internet world”?
    When I was about fourteen or fifteen. My friend Leona got me onto blend challenges – mine were really, really bad to start with, as you might imagine. I was hosted by Leona for a while, before I opened my first site, stupidloveletters.com, and I’ve beeen on-and-off ever since!
