today my friend told me something. it felt strange. they commented on my blog. another friend has commented on my blog recently as well, and more than once. it's a really strange feeling. strange only because this is still my learning period--this isn't quite "live" yet. i haven't linked to this blog from anywhere. just once in awhile i'll send a friend a link to a blog entry. it's also strange to think of the blog as another entity. to think of yourself in the third person. i've dealt with such issues regarding the internet and personas before but each time i think about these things as they apply to myself, it still feels weird.

it feels strange to discuss my blog as a "live" entity because i regard the blog as something that is under construction and not ready for massive viewing. i'm still learning how to use this thing (blog/php) in combination with newer html tags (css/div/etc). basically trying to learn things i didn't want to utilize because they don't appear with consistency across browsers/platforms. and now i'm feeling the frustrations of trying to make it work. tonight i tried messing with the code for a long time and i think i finally got something decent, but no one would notice these tweaks. perhaps it's still not styllistically where i want to be at but that is more due to me focusing on the technical nature to the point that i haven't really given the style aspect much consideration other than, "is it legible?"
