Colorfilter has an identity crisis

Posted on October 31, 2006 at 09:43 pm under Tea's Musings

I hereby admit that I have a thing about checking my stats to find out who has linked to me and what they have to say about my site. It’s not always interesting, since I generally just arrive at a long list of links where mine is just one of the sites tucked in the page somewhere. Every so often, I’ll stumble on to something that gets me really annoyed because I’ve found that my downloads were once again either stolen and claimed as someone else’s or they were being hotlinked. But even that’s all pretty typical.

There are two things, though, that I can’t help but be baffled by.

Website reviewing communities

Posted on October 29, 2006 at 09:04 pm under Tea's Musings

I got a nice email (thank you, Jen!) pointing me towards YourSite.nu after the post about my WPR sites woes, and I just had to share it. Apparently it’s quite popular, so it only shows how out of it I am when it comes to the website reviewing communities. Are there any others out there worth mentioning?

Anyhow, if anyone’s looking to have their websites reviewed or if you want to review other people’s sites, you should check it out. There are all kinds of sites and all levels of quality there too. Looks like I’ve found my new addiction site. ;p There are, unfortunately, some sour apples there as well… but that’s to be expected at any kind of review site. I’ve got my site’s submission up and received two reviews so far, which made me wonder about a few things in regards to my layout. I’m also offering reviews for any takers in case anyone’s interested.

Do any of you guys have your sites up over there? By the way, on a totally irrelevant note, I kept forgetting that the LJ syndicate journal of my blog articles allows for commenting at LJ too. Because of that, I’ve been missing a couple of your comments on my blog entries. I wish I could be notified of them, but the feature doesn’t exist. I wonder if there’s a way to get the comments to appear here too…

To WPR or not is the question

Lately, I’ve been thinking about giving a couple of those WPR (web page review) sites a try. And of course that means I’ve been haunting their archives of recent reviews yet again. I’m beginning to think this is something I simply can’t help but go through at least once every few months, only to come out of it completely dry because I always end up not submitting anything.

I finally caved in at Captious Pedants the other day, but I have doubts as to whether it’ll be picked up for a review or not. I was a bit bummed that new submissions at Honest Truth Reviews and Review You are both closed, because those two are the only ones I’m more interested in.

Téa returns to blogging

Posted on October 19, 2006 at 04:06 am under Tea's Musings

...Or at least that’s what I’m trying to do. A few months ago, I was on my way to work and musing about some random thing or another when I thought to myself,

I want to blog about this…

And then I realized that it was a thought that flashed by my head fairly often. I’d think of something and then fleetingly wish that I still had a blog so that I could babble on it. But I had abandoned my old blog over a year ago, and it wasn’t a blog I was eager to resurrect because it was haunted by some lovely, crazy stalkers that I’ve been trying to escape from for years.
