Blog update

Posted on Jun 27, 2008 by CHESSNOID in Blogging, stock market | 1 Comments

My wife is remodeling my blog. It has been about a year and I guess it is about time for a healthy change.  It is kind of weird to see it plain like this, but even this makes me look at my blog differently.  She gave me a few designs to pick from that she thought I would like.  Something that goes along with my personality. We will see how this goes.  I might try a few of them just to see.  I am sure I will miss my old template too. I am planning to add extra stuff too. Like putting the avatar faces from MBL, BG, and Romlet back. I definitely liked the flags counter too as well as the world map with the red dots.  The only concern I have is that some of this stuff slows down my page loading which is the original reason why I took them off. I do miss seeing everyone faces though.

The market really didn’t do what I expected it to today. I was expecting a bounce from investors doing bargain hunting. It may have happened for an hour at most then investors started dumping holdings. It could be we are at the end of another month and quarter.  It could be the institutional investors trying to salvage their earnings.  I didn’t get to execute my trading plan for today in my Updown account so it is just sitting there all in cash.  I did have a great month and easily beat the S&P 500 which is what the site uses to gauge earnings payout.  I wrote one analysis, but am planning to write more like the way I blog.  It is a social network too so I might get more involved with the groups and forums in there.

    Your wife is messing with my sanity, LOL! I typed in totalnoid.com three times and came back to the same site before I realized that this was indeed where I was going. I think that you’re brave to make this drastic a change.

    Black Tennis Pro’s will hit one year on August 5. I don’t know when I will be sufficiently comfortable to make a template change. I’ve thought about it, but that’s it.

    I like this design it’s interesting. I know that I will have to get used to anything that you settle into. I say go for it!
