Don't think I've disappeared, I've just been neglecting the Desk in favor of the Office. In addition to the project described in the previous post (the contents of which have recieved major changes), I've been revamping the whole site, cleaning it up and working out glitches. The whole focus of the site has shifted to favor the new backpacking guide pages, and personally I like the direction this projet is taking the site. I've added a lot of new content with these new pages, but the majority of the work I've done (writing content isn't that hard) has been in the way of redoing all the linking between the pages of the site and between the site and other sites, as well as working on other coding issues. So not only have I brought a new focus to the site, but also gotten back to the original purpose of it, which was to have some fun learning about html and internet stuff while having an excuse to ramble about backpacking. Eventually I'll get around to making real blog posts again, but probably not till after I'm done with the backpacking guide and maybe those two stories I've been meaning to write. And by the way, if repetition passes for an artistic way of writing, consider the Office edition of "Nothing Special" my official attempt at an stylistically artistic short story. So I apologize to those of you who still don't care, but I know there are many of my readers who are avid backpackers, or who have spoken to me about wanting to take an interest in it. I know several of you were talking about getting into some hiking this summer and specifically asked for my tutelage, which thrills me to an end you do not know, so I'm hoping at least that audience is still out there. I'm going to assume no feedback is good enough and means I'm not doing anything you find terribly repulsive and I can go right ahead. Otherwise it means everyone has stopped reading. Regardless, I'm doing this for my own amusement, but I hope I can bring a few of you along for the ride, as this is my shot to bring some of you the Blaze that has brought me so much and made me who I am.
