One might think I was exaggerating here, but no, I’m not. Those who know me can attest to the fact that I am prone to obsessing unnecessarily over the most minute, mundane details. It comes in handy, I suppose? Like.. I’m told that employers love to read resumes that cite strengths such as ‘detail oriented’, ‘pays attention to the task at hand’, ‘focussed’, thorough’, etc. Anyway, enough of that. I’ve created this blog as it is the first assignment of one of my current university courses. This is about my sixth blog, give or take. Having said that, one might think that my previous inter-webbings would simplify matters; i.e., “You could do that silly assignment blindfolded, in thirty seconds, sheesh!” Yeah. Good luck with that thinking. Quite the contrary, in fact, as I have spent the past several hours flipping back and forth between different blog sites, weighing pros/cons/user-friendliness, and most of all aesthetics. Aesthetics! Aesthetics! Aesthetics! What message do I want to relay to my readers? To my peers? To my professor?
Apparently, the answer is grass. WordPress, and Theron Parlin’s Benevolence template wins.
On the upside, all of my humming, hawing, and needless researching of interfaces, capabilities, templates, upgrade options, and user/reader compatibility — not too mention personal tweaks such as choosing a clever, if not catchy (har har ‘cat’-chy, get it?) title, and hunting google images for the perfect (or purrfect, if you will) avatar — will probably serve to my advantage in the end. Or at some point. Much like the aforementioned buzz-words on the resume. Right??
Time will tell… 
Ahh, I am not alone! I too have spent way more time on making my blog look pretty or professional or whatver else suited my mood at that moment rather than focusing on the all-important content. Hmm…
