Many people take themselves way too seriously. When was the last time you did something really silly? Or something most grown-ups don’t do, without caring whether someone raised an eyebrow or two?

    Well, maybe not so much sugar!

  • Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    • Hi Syble,

      I’m using WordPress (first the shared blog platform at wordpress.com, then self-hosted with wordpress.org). Haven’t used BlogEngine, B2evolution or Drupal. Basically all bloggers I know use WordPress – from what I’ve read, heard and experienced WP is unbeatable in all aspects that matter. For hosting I recommend DreamHost.

      The design is all thanks to http://www.wpzoom.com/themes/tribune/ and the support at WPZOOM. They have many beautiful themes!
