Cleaning day

SENTENCE OF THE DAY
“Housework could be really fun if it was called ‘relaxing on a Hawaiian beach’ and you could wear a swimming suit and were actually in Hawaii, at the beach.”
Today it was cleaning day once again.
I finally changed the furniture around in my office and assembled the new bookcase which we bought last week. Things are looking a little better, since the space is nicer now, more adequate for actually working… although there’s still plenty of mess around, especially on my drawing table (how will I draw, you may ask…).
Well, I decided to take a little bit off to work on the redoing of my diary and, of course, take a stroll through the Open Pages webring and see some more online diaries. The truth is, I don’t like all those worked up diaries, except perhaps this one, but I’m not yet totally convinced I know what I want to do with mine exactly.
There are some online diaries so complicated that you have to go through 235 clicks just to get to the latest entry page.
The way I’ve set up the home page, allows me to change my money level (I wish), the latest CD or movie I went to without having to write an entry if I don’t feel the inspiration for it. However, I can still come in and write an entry and upload it, having only to add a small link to the dropdown menu for people to visit it.
I still haven’t decided what to do on individual diary pages. For example, this one looks exactly like the home page, except there’s no dropdown menu (or else I’d have to update it in every page), and there’s some navigation going on at the bottom of the page, instead of the LinkExchange counter.
There’ll be some people wondering why I don’t use frames. I hate frames, frames are the velour flares of webdesign if you get my meaning.
Well, there’s just still a lot of deciding to do… I suppose I could use my left column for… say… quotes, small stories or song lyrics, and the right columns I should use for… say… uh… I go see a movie and write a review, or I buy a CD and review it… sounds like a good idea.
Here’s what: I’ll add a phrase, a quote or something that fits the mood and feel of the day in question on the left side. Under that should come my levels table, but referring to the specific day, and not (like on the homepage), to my general being. Let’s say I am generally calm but had a stressing day…
On the right side I’ll write reviews and stuff.
