Obligatory first post
My name is Elias Saba and this is my blog. I have tried starting a blog several times in the past but, for one reason or anothe, I deserted the blog and then eventually took it down. I’ve done this so many times I’ve lost track. (I think it’s 3 or 4.) Well, this time is different. I’ve decided regardless of what happens with this blog I will not take it down. And that’s the only promise I will make. I have no clue if I will be adding to it regularly or not.
Right now I’m thinking this blog will act as my “internet junk drawer”. This blog will be a place for all the things I want to put online but don’t have a place for. Each entry will likely act as it’s own entity with little to no relation to the entries before or after it.
This blog uses the content management system (CMS) WordPress and a modified version of the theme Fluid Blue and is hosted on Dreamhost.
If you’re wondering why I chose such a plain and boring theme, it’s because I think the content of a blog (and any website for that matter) is most important. If a site offers good content, it doesn’t matter what it looks like. People put too much time into how a site looks and not enough into making the site worth visiting. I feel a site needs to prove itself worthy of a good design before it should get one. A plain design will help readers and myself focus on content.

i like the cat photos idea. i hope you also post on your blog. I have that challenge too, jumping from one blog to the other. i ended up with two blogs now . which is good enough. I write in them often enough. good luck.

I like your cat photos..but the intentional bad grammar is really not a good thing. If you keep your blog site very plain..why cant you make sense of that cat site. YOu also put pics where you know that cat is not being treated right. Sick cats or ppl who are abusing them. If you cant see that then there is a problem…and the picture of a bike with nothing in it that says Invisible Cat…thats just plain stupid

Leigh….you are obviously NOT a cat person. Cats are all about the sense of humor. The Catpions people put on in “catspeak” are hillarious. Get a clue! Have a laugh! I know I am!
I DO love your google cat page link. I find myself flipping thur it several times a day…I have 4 of my own, and will definitely put some pics up when you get that feature up and running. Keep up the great work!
