This Blog Will Be Under Maintenance
UPDATE: Application for EC advertising are disabled temporarily.
When I start to see that this blog looks ugly whenever I need to post or respond to comments, I know that there is something that I had to do:
I need to change this blog’s template - ASAP!
When I first dressed up this blog with this coffee theme, I thought that design was cool. But of course this coffee theme is freely offered around the web. As I began to promote this blog, I keep on seeing more and more blogs sporting the same look. This might be a big coincidence, though!
Now I need to take the time off from posting to work on the back end. This will even include rewriting the “about” page and optimizing this page for on-page SEO (as far as this blogger blog can go). I know that SEO-ing this blog is not as great as those Wordpress blogs, but I believe I am not yet ready to move to that platform.
Unlike the other two blogs, this time, I prefer not to use the free templates offered around the web. I am going for a creation that comes out from my mind. It’ll be the first time that I do this, but the first two custom designing that I did for the other two blogs are enough for me to go for the custom design that I really wanted.
After all, my blog’s title should be a reflection of my career, and so a custom template design should be in place.
I will still be updating the other two blogs regularly while I work on this. It’ll just be this blog where I’ll be posting less.

Do it! Do a redesign! As you know I did. It kidna makes you feel rejuvenated.

@MikeC
I got that idea from you. Perhaps seeing others taking that plunge helps me get motivated to do that task.
@janmck
You can also pay for someone to do the template design for you.
@Berryblitz
Thanks! Tagal ko na balak ito.

bold move. you know, it’s not an easy thing to do any changes. but change is never prevented, and most of the time it is for the better.
i’ll totally salute you once i see your own made template. i have been too scared (and lazy) to venture on doing my own blogger themes. hehehe

tama ka Gem, mas maganda kung sarili mo ang template para alang kapareho, mabusisi ang pag gawa nyan, mabusisi na nga yung pagmodify, how much more yung from scratch di ba.

Great Move.. But needs lots of time.. Usually free themes are made to boost ranking of the ones who offer it.

cool.
looking forward to the updated design.
am also currently happy with blogger, so i’ve postponed setting up a blog on the wordpress platform. and as far as seo goes, i think i’ll be alright, or at least i’m hoping blogger will do.
