Post Series Update

Yo. 

I've been pretty busy with school this month so I haven't been able to post nearly as much as I did last month. The time during which I wasn't posting provided me with a good opportunity to ruminate over the tweaks I've been making to the blog over the past couple of months, and I've changed my mind over some of this (what can I say, I'm a dynamic person). 

• The Hitlist is getting cancelled. It just encourages me to spend more time online than I already do and is too similar to Style Inspo (more on that next). Yes, I'm pathetic. I need to try this whole long-term-view thing out sometime. In the meantime deal with my short-sighted decision-making.
• Style Inspo Nothing huge here; I'm just changing this series' name to "Style Spotlight". I don't know, I guess I just have a thing for alliteration. (Actually, I'm sure that I do. The proof is in my Instagram captions.) Another thing: I'm hoping to expand this series to include people and just, like, things other than clothing. So yeah. No worries, Style Inspo Spotlight is going nowhere.

I know it's kind of annoying that I can't make my mind up about things that I've relatively recently created and announced. Sometimes I feel like the changes I make are silly and don't even need to be mentioned in a whole post. But whatever. What I've found is that testing concepts out really helps solidify them into long-lasting additions to the blog rather than withholding the ideas because they aren't "perfect" yet. I would rather cancel and recreate and rename a thousand times than not let go of an idea that's gone sour just for the sake of longevity. And that's a lesson to consider in the context of life in general as well. 

So who knows? These post series might not exist in another couple months. But we'll discuss that when the time comes.

Switching Platforms? Just Kidding (For Now)... + Why I Disappeared For A Week

Hey guys! This is a follow up on my recent Facebook announcement and the fact that I am now late with two Poll Posts. (Yikes.)

First, like I said on Facebook, I've been really busy for the past week. Specifically, homework and tennis games for three days in a row. Now that tennis is over for this year, I can start writing as soon as my homework's finished. So, to sum it up, those two should be up within the next two days. Sorry!

As for my deal with WordPress, let's just say I thought up that whole idea on a whim. My main motive for moving there was to get more customization options because the Blogger Template Design feature is currently not working. I really didn't want to wait because there are several things I'd like to change about my current site, and I didn't want to wait for Blogger any longer. Unfortunately, I did not reach nirvana by moving leather & rouge there. (Not as much customization as I'd anticipated and too many things to pay for. Ugh.) Soon after setting up the WordPress site, I visited the Blogger site and realized I liked it way better. In fact, I almost went back and deleted the WordPress site. However, I ultimately decided to leave it for now in case something changes. Check it out here if you want. So for the time being, home sweet home. 

Let me know if you have any ideas on how to change the current website, whether it be to add gadgets, change font and/or color, or add a background. Do you like the WordPress site? As always, you can comment and email me at leatherandrouge@gmail.com.
