Procrastination

Ha, I should so be doing my Psychology experiment write-up right now. I think that actually this new blogging project is really an extended procrastination method. :oP But, maybe writing some words down in this form will make it easier for me to get the words on paper when I'm getting down to work in a few minutes. 

...

On another note, I remembered yesterday when setting up this blog how obsessed I am about how things LOOK. Layout, design etc. Maybe it's because my dad is a designer, and so I've inherited some of his design 'snobbery'. But before I even wrote my first post, I had to be fairly happy with how my blog page LOOKED. Haha, surely the content is what is important? Apparently not to me! 

This is true when it comes to reading other blogs and websites too. I'm sorry guys, but if I look at your blog and it's chaotic and not well designed I'm going to be a lot less likely to read it. Sorry! It's not an intentional choice of "This looks bad so I'm not going to read it", but it's all part of those quick assessments we all make when we come across something new. For me, design and layout are very important! 

I'm not entirely happy with how this blog looks, but it's good enough for now. It doesn't make me unhappy or stressed out, and I'm not involved enough in this whole blogging thing yet to spend ages trying to find a good layout to use and/or customise.

If you're reading this, I'd be interested to know! Leave a comment so I know I'm not alone. But maybe I am...? :o)

Happy thing of the day: Oreos
