Hey, you, pop out of that there feed reader and check out the brand new no-frills layout. (Some might call it an Emperor’s New Clothes kind of look; I prefer to use the term “minimalist”.) Yep, this poor abandoned blog (PAB) finally got some attention in the form of a makeover — something I’ve only been meaning to do since I purchased this domain well over a year ago. At this rate, I will be regularly adding new content in a matter of mere months. Hoooooo-boy, hold on to your swiveling desk-chairs!

Bonus announcement: ohbecareful has spawned a brand new baby-blog, which you can see on the right in all of its bawling newborn glory. It’s really just a new category masquerading as a little sidebar blog. The topic: politics.

I know, I know. Who wants to talk about politics and current events and the like? Not me, that’s who. But I’m doing it anyway, for reasons I will explain in a future post.

But fear not! If you don’t want to hear my thoughts on Health Care Reform or the importance of preserving and defending our Constitution, you don’t have to (and not just because this is the internet and you don’t need my permission to click away). The politically-related posts excerpted in the sidebar will not show up in the regular feed, so skipping them should be a piece of cake.

And if you want to read the posts, you can either click on the side/mini/baby/little/faker-blog links when you happen to be in the neighborhood or you can subscribe to the feed here. UPDATE: Never mind. It was supposed to work this way but it went and showed up in the main feed anyway — the rotten stinker — so for now I’ve put it in a time-out from all RSS feeds (including the separate one I set up just for that category). Someday, when I feel like spending another hour banging my head on the keyboard, I’ll try to fix it. Sorry!

Your choice.

Isn’t it nice to have options? I think so too.

P.S. Let me know if anything in the new layout looks strangely deformed or out-of-place, and I will apply my CSS/PHP-numb brain to the task of making it worse with my coding ineptitude fixing it. Thanks!
