Blog To-Do List:

• Put up a blog roll
• Put up my list of recently-read books
• Put up my reading list
• Put up a music list
• Tweak the template
• Create categories for stories
• Install and use Trackback
• Consider moving to a different blog host.

• Put up a blog roll (but how do I select who to put up there? I'm still new, finding things that interest me, but frequently it turns out not to be what I thought it was after about a week of regular reading. And I don't want to just put up a huge list...)
• Put up my list of recently-read books (hmm, but everything I read? Or only the ones that could be considered literature? And do I review them?)
• Put up my reading list (Oh great! Now have a public record of my resolutions and a demonstration of how I break them and/or procrastinate.)
• Put up a music list (Well, at least that would be static, if truly eclectic. I haven't bought any new music for years (barring birthday/christmas gifts.) I haven't been keeping track of new music developments, nor of new performers and performances of classical music.)
• Tweak the template (Yeah, but coding for a living for a fair chunk of my work day hardly leaves me energized to come home and figure out how to twiddle the knobs on css.)
• Create categories for stories (You mean like "My Life in India" and such? Shades of Lionel Hardcastle... I would have to manually maintain them if I stay with Blogspot)
• Install and use Trackback (I would have to get a third party Trackback if I stay with Blogspot)
• Consider moving to a different blog host (Well, it would address the above two issues. But it would mean all my links need to change and all my hordes of loyal fans have to be informed of the new address, and now I would have to shell out money for the blog and I am not even sure whether this is just a passing fad on my part. And I kinda like the general look of my current template - minus a few tweaks.)
