My Web Dreams

August 17, 2008 by IrishSpacemonk 

Yes, I confess. Occasionally I have web dreams, dreams that this blog will actually be a vehicle that changes the world, brings the mainstream media to its knees and renders the voice of high-paid political pundits as irrelevant as the telegraph and Morse code.

Exactly…what the hell am I thinking anyway.

In any case, this makeover, while not really a new look, launches me a bit closer to my eventual goal…a shifting maze of pixels that borders between satire and anger, philosophy and filling up space with words.

Like most bloggers, this blog is about having fun, and doing something I enjoy. It’s a path taken each day, without really knowing where it leads. Just last week I had a different idea for this blog with an entirely different design (see image above). Hours went into the design, but in the end, it just didn’t want to work with me. Despite meeting the slaughter house for design ideas, I thought I’d share it, as it still imparts a little bit of what this blog is about - less about “communism” and more about revolution. The communism style and name is mostly to tick off the right wing nuts.

I hope you enjoy the new design. It should allow me to create more quality cartoons, write about the latest peeve that’s on my mind and still keep my sanity. I also noticed that some of my favorite cartoons would get lost in the mutinae of daily blabbery that I found myself enjoying, blabbery that probably didn’t deserve top position on the page. This new design gives me a way to control that.

If you’re interested, I’m using Brian Gartners Revelution Media Pro theme ($70) and it’s likely saved me hundreds of hours in wasted time with PHP.
