Sometimes, I Really am a Glutton for Punishment

--------------------------- ATTENTION READERS --------------------------- 

As of TODAY,  September 30th, I have changed my blog's URL to http://seen-and-said.blogspot.com!!!  The old URL (http://c10brook.blogspot.com) is NO LONGER ACTIVE!!! Please update any bookmarks or links to this blog accordingly!

--------------------------- ATTENTION READERS ---------------------------

As I have mentioned before, I have been actively working to make my blog more attractive, more pulled-together, more accessible, and pretty much more AWESOME all around. In reflection of that desire, I have added a new background, new social networks in this blog's name, new pages in the tabs at the top of the blog, and so on and so forth.  I have also been planning a super special blog post in a few days from now.  Seriously, it will blow your mind.

On top of all that, I am still a college student, and on in her LAST semester!  I have just made it through my first round of tests, and am busy running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to keep up with homework, blogging, social networking, laundry, chores, and taking care of my dog.  I am a very busy person, apparently! 

 

**NO CHICKENS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS IMAGE**

And now, on top of all those things, I am changing my blog's url.  I know what you're thinking.  You're thinking, "Catherine, that's just one small thing compared to everything else.  You change it, and you're done.  What's the problem?"

Well, let me tell you what the problem is.

FIRST - ALL of the links to my blog and its individual entries that I have posted on various social networking sits are now all INVALID.  I will have to repair all of those broken links.  It does not seem like a big deal, but let me remind you all that I post all of the "art" on my blog on a deviantArt account.  There are 129 links on individual submissions to go in, one at a time, and change.

SECOND - OTHER people who have linked to my blog will now have invalid links on their sites.  I can't just go in and change the url FOR them.  These links will probably remain invalid, and this is very sad news. =(

THIRD - People who read my blog, but don't "follow" me, or don't check very often will find that my blog has disappeared, without a trace.  How will they find me again if they do not follow me on any of my social networking sites? Hmmm????

So...If I have all these problems, then why am I still changing my URL?  Because "c10brook" is not relevant at all to my blog, excepting that it is derived from my name, but I don't expect any of you to see or understand that!

Seen-and-Said is a lot easier to remember than c10brook, and will make things tie together nicely in a strongly cohesive way. Think of it as a marketing scheme!

And so, here I am, writing a long post about this to avoid starting on the project ahead of me....correcting now-invalid links.  This will easily take hours.

Clearly, I am a glutton for punishment.

Today, I'm Developing my Web HQ

Every blogger, or celebrity, or smart person, or internet savvy genius needs an HQ.  Today, I began developing mine!

It's official people, I have a blog email, JUST for you!  Seriously.  Email me.  LOTS.  You can send me your questions, comments, concerns, hate mail, and/or declarations of love to my brand new e-mail address!!  And here it is....

 In case you have trouble loading the pictures, I'm gonna go ahead and spell it out for you too!

seenandsaid@gmail.com

So you have no excuses for not emailing me!  Seriously, use it!  Send me questions!  Send me stories! Send me blog ideas!  Send me hate mail, if you must!  Just send me something!  I will respond to every email! =) ....as long as it isn't junk, of course!

Also, I have started a Twitter!  For those of you who know me personally, you might be aware that I already HAVE a twitter....and that's true....but THIS twitter is my new one.  And it's the one I'm going to use.....and also, it's my BLOG twitter.  So it is appropriately designed and named!  Plus, I've linked it to my phone, so maybe I'll actually use it this time!  Woot!   Yay for redundant social networking!

 

And as you all can see, I also have made a new background and put it up on my blog!  A slightly shorter version is my background on my twitter.  Lucky you!  Isn't it nice to have an obvious correlation between things? I think so too.  Again, in case you can't load my pictures, or are lazy and would like to ctrl + c copy the URL, here is my TWITTER!!!! =)

http://twitter.com/seen_and_said

Yay!

Also, if anybody wants help with their blogger backgrounds, I made mine all by myself!  I even used some pre-existing images, and with a few modifications, and a little bit of awesome, put together a background suitable for my blog!  I can help you too!  I might even do all the work for you, if you're nice about it.  Sister, you can have a custom made awesome background if you like too! =)

Also, I will be changing my blog url in the near future.  But I don't know what to call it yet....since http://seenandsaid.blogspot.com is already taken!  Which is totally lame, since HER blog isn't actually titled "Seen and Said" ...... I feel so betrayed.  How dare you come up with a name like mine first, internet????  How dare you!!!!

Anyways, I will need everyone's help thinking of variations of "Seen and Said' for a potential new URL.  Because "c10brook" is not fun, and also has little to do with my blog.  Not least of all because in the distant future, I will be changing my last name (you know, when I get married and all that jazz).

.....and that is all for now, dear readers!  Send me your emails!  Leave me your comments!  And give me your souls....ahem, I mean.... ideas!
