Lars-Christian.com|This is me at the intarwebs.

What’s that image right there on the left? Well I’m happy to say that’s a little preview of the new design I’m working on for this blog. I’ve been growing increasingly tired of the current design, which is partly why I haven’t posted a whole lot lately. And this time I have decided to take a big step, and completely redo the entire blog.

Once I finish up the design, I’m going to find someone who can code the design for me from scratch, so that I can get it looking exactly like I imagine it. With this design also comes a signficant shift in focus at this blog. Instead of being a half-assed attempt at covering a specific niche, which I admittedly don’t want to write about at the moment, I am going to cover a brand new niche; me!

Profound, I know. But to elaborate, I have decided that, since this blog has my name attatched to it after all, I will try to make it reflect my online persona. The blog part will be expanded to the extent that I can write about pretty much everything I feel like talking about. With the new design I will also try to aggregate some of my “off-blog” activities online as well as I can.

All of this will hopefully make it really easy for me to answer a single question: “Who are you?” - “Just take a look at my blog, Lars-Christian.com to see what I’m all about“.

Understandably this will most likely result in those 100 something people currently subscribing to my blog hitting the unsubscribe button, but to be honest, I don’t care. I won’t maintain this blog to make a profit, or gain as many subscribers as possible. Instead I’ll be doing it mostly for fun and relief. It’s nice to have somewhere to vent your thoughts, I think, and that’s what I’ll do.

Don’t get me wrong though, I won’t just be posting pictures of my cats and dogs (I don’t have any cats or dogs, nor do I want any of them!), and I’ll probably still be offering my unique insight on everything online business, marketing and so forth. I just won’t be tied down to that topic exclusively.

We’ll see how it all works out eventually. I’m kinda excited to get the new design up and start playing with my online persona again!

I just upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.5, and I have to take some time to familiarize myself with the brand new back-end. I will come back soon with some impressions as soon as I get the hang of this.

I’m excited to see if the editor now finally works properly in Safari as well!

Update: A wee bit busy these days with a term paper, so I haven’t really had much time to play with WP 2.5. I haven’t even upgraded the site I post at most frequently yet, but hopefully I’ll get that done sometime next week so that I can finally start exploring the full potential of it.

I’m really loving the admin interface however. It makes the old back-end seem so 2001. The colours are also extremely inviting, and they even make me want to redesign this very blog. Of course, if I am to do that, I should probably start posting more regularly, because there’s not much point in spending time on it.

Right now I’m really at a sort of a crossroads in regards to what I want to do online. I think I’ve mostly scrapped the ideas I’ve had since the new year, but that’s not to say I’m not going to start something. I just need to figure out what, which seems to be extremely difficult for me.

As I mentioned, I’m also in the thinking box regarding which direction I will take this blog. I have been thinking about a more personal direction again, but it really depends on what I will start up on the side.

Inspiration and suggestions are more than welcome! Feel free to leave me a comment, or even send me an email or contact me in any other way if you feel that you have something to say.

Note: Hurray, the spell checker actually works again. That should certainly come in handy
