It seems I'm constantly updating, redesigning, tweaking, or otherwise breaking confoozled.com. If something is added, changes, or breaks, and I think you should know about it, you'll find it here.

Have you noticed the rating widget on confoozled.com's entries yet? I'm trying to get a better idea of what type of content really interests my readers, so I've installed a five star rating system...

I've been doing a monthly masthead (header image) for confoozled.com for two years, and I'm starting to run out of ideas for them. I always choose a background photo that is somehow related to the month in question...

So here's the deal. I've been neglecting confoozled.com a bit lately, and I'm going to start writing more often again. But, I'm no longer going to make it such a high priority to post every single weekday...

Just about everyone shops online these days. I do, for several reasons: 1) it saves me waiting for someone to be available to take me to a store Chris doesn't like to shop at; 2) it allows me to shop privately for gifts and surprise purchases; 3) it's easier to find things online when I don't know where to start looking; and 4) sometimes what I need isn't in stock in the local stores...

Spring is here and many television shows will be ending their seasons soon, which at least in my house means more movie rentals. Lucky for you, I have a $20 gift card to Blockbuster Video to give away to one lucky confoozled.com reader...

On a note related to all of this, I have to get something off my chest. There seems to be this sense of entitlement people feel when it comes to things on the internet, and I find it really disturbing...

No time for a full post today, just a quick techie site update. I published some design changes I'd been working on to confoozled.com today, and hit a couple of small hiccups, so if you happened to stop by during a particular twenty minute window today, you probably noticed that everything was wonky (technical term, I swear!)...

Back in August, we celebrated my 300th blog post on confoozled.com with my very first blog contest. It had taken nearly six years to get to 300 posts... and now, not quite six months later, I've hit 400!

I recently had the opportunity to get ahold of a Gopher III reach tool for fairly cheap, so I decided to try it out. Alas, as I had feared, I don't have enough squeeze strength in my hands to operate it...

This is it! The official 300th post, and as promised, confoozled.com's first ever blog contest! Now, don't be put off by my calling it a blog contest - you do not have to have a blog to enter, and most of the prizes can be enjoyed by bloggers and non-bloggers alike...

confoozled.com is approaching its 300th entry (by summer's end if I keep going at the rate I am), and to celebrate I plan to host my first blog contest for that 300th post. I promise I will find something cool to give away by then, but I'd also really appreciate some prize donations from my fellow bloggers out there...

The more my existing readers help to promote my articles, and the more places in which they do so, the more potential there is for more people to discover my blog and keep coming back. And the more traffic I get, the more likely I am to sell higher paying ads on the site....

I found a way around the thumbnail issue, but I'm going to have to start giving my blog posts longer, more descriptive titles here on the site since I no longer have the option of assigning a different title for the feed. Maybe it's just as well, as I have become rather uncreative with my two-word titles as of late, and the alliterations were getting old...
