as if you didn’t notice

Felicity has the most cheer-provoking video on her site right now, so if you haven’t seen it – get thee to Rare Rocks immedioso.  It shall make you smile and, according to various responses, make you want to sing and/or dance, and/or organize a mass transit live show that looks like a spontaneous gathering of people proving the fact that Gloria Estefan is right and eventually the rhythm is going to getcha.

Since this is my new website, which I stare at several hours a day trying to decide how to make it just PERFECT, I thought I’d point out a couple of things like you’re taking a tour of my new house that you didn’t really want to take because you wish I’d just point the way to the bathroom already.  

See the pretty initials in the picture here?  You hopefully notice those beside my URL in the address bar too.  It’s called a favicon, and it makes me feel very special.  But despite my hard work finding the perfect font for those little letters and Dan the Man’s hard work turning them into the 16 x 16 little square you see, I wasn’t sure you could tell what it was exactly – and I wanted you to know, because it’s awesome.

If you’re new to the blog, you should check out the About tab, which now has links to a few classic Serenity Now posts, which means drama, traumas, hollywood, and the puzzling out of the meaning of life.  Somewhere in the midst of them, you should be able to see me.

The little subscribe paragraph at the top of the right hand column lets you get new posts through email or RSS feeds like Google Reader.  Google Reader, is my new favorite thing.  You see how my blog roll shows who has updated the most recently?  Google Reader is my own personal blog roll with all kinds of blogs I like to stay up on – but who can spend the time every day to check every single one?  Google Reader does it for you, which is so cool.

Finally, there’s the My Writing tab, where you’ll find the links to articles I’ve had published online.  There should be a new one added in a couple of months (I gotta get on that!).

I’m still tweaking – probably all the time for the REST OF MY LIFE – so don’t be surprised to see new things, new people in the blog roll, a sudden addition of a bright pink border along the sides, which will suddenly and inexplicably disappear because I SAW IT and Oh No, that was definitely the wrong pink, or perhaps a new header in the future – because oi vay, we’ve seen my face already!

I think that’s it for the notes and pointing-out-of-the-obvious.  Did you go watch Felic’s video yet?  GO!  It’s so happy.
