Reverence for books

I promised Mr. Fooh Ling to elaborate on how I feel about books, due to a comment in an earlier entry where I revealed unknown truths about myself. Books are small creatures looking for a home and someone to care for them. In many cases, they are jewels so precious, they take your breath away. That probably sums up what I feel. Maybe that is why I have so many on my shelves and overflowing into boxes and stacks on the floor, complicating the rare vacuum cleaner excursions through the house. They all needed a home, and I was willing to give them one. On my bookshelf, there is a Danish book written in 1922 by Knud Poulsen called Breve fra Danmark.

Scared to write?

I feel timorous about writing this blog entry. I’ve just come home from a get-together with my writing group, I have the urge to write, I can feel the words and ideas jostling for attention in my my mind, but . . . dare I actually write when I know they can read these words?

I enjoy the process of writing, the creativity, the search for the right word or phrase to convey the idea that I wish to communicate to the world. Writing shouldn’t be an issue on my very own blog! A blog means that the writing is public, so there is a chance that the other writers will read it. What will happen then? Perhaps the real excitement…

A bit of housecleaning

I finally did my WordPress 2.3.1 upgrade today and changed my theme at the same time. I waved goodbye to the nice Ocadia theme from Beccary, which has served me well for nearly a year. Now I am using the Beast-Blog theme from Mike Cherim. There is a lot to play with in this theme, but I’ll be taking it slow at first. Rearranging categories and adding tags still needs work. It’s not surprising that the theme has a lot of rich detail and potential when it comes from a talented guy like Mike. He’s one of the team over at Accessites.org, the site that showcases and promotes accessible web design. They might just have the resources and inspiration you need.
