Blog Renovation Plan

You might be surprised at the new look of this blog today.

Yes, I’ve just put on the new WordPress theme. And that’s part of the renovation plan I am implementing for this blog. It’s been years since I tweaked this personal blog of mine and I think it’s time I did something about it.

And what are the other parts of the plan?

Well, I plan to simplify – reduce the number of – the categories of its content. I think I have too many of them here. Some categories have too few posts in them. They are too specific. I plan to delete some of these categories and let the posts be attached to the bigger categories.

Will this rearrangement of categories affect the blog’s ranking? Visibility? Search engines friendliness?

I don’t know. I am not a professional blogger in that sense. I just blog and write whatever I think I need to write and share with my audience. I believe that if they are useful and interesting, somebody will somehow find them there. I am just a voice among millions (billions?) of voices out there. I don’t need to be prominent if anything I say is not of any importance. Besides, this is a personal blog. I don’t think my blog should or would be more prominent than the real contribution I can make to the world. I just need to leave a trace of my existence – that I am here or was here when I die; that I am a feeling and thinking being; that, as a member of the human race, I care about others and the time and place I happen to live in.

Aaah … there you are the lofty and idealist part of me have begun to show off. I have to stop here. Otherwise I’ll go on rambling about inconsequential things.

Anyway, dear readers, if you have any suggestions about what I should or should not do in this renovation plan, please let me know. Thanks.
