I’m not sure when the locking will occur, I’ve got a few layout designs to work out, but I think I’m pretty much set on doing it, so thanks for the support everyone. Honestly, I’m excited about the new personal level I can take with this new option. I promise I wasn’t as sad as I apparently looked/seemed in the video! A lot of things have been on my mind, a few friends are in a tough spot, and it’s been pretty stressful. But really, I’m okay.

I’ve already archived all my old posts earlier than January 1st, and that might be enough for me, but I don’t want to write off the locking idea just yet.

Here’s the skinny:
*If I lock it, there will be a riddle on the home page for people to solve to enter. Because I think that would be fun as all hell to have.
*If you know me, have interacted with me in any way, then you are welcome to read. (And if you’re a stranger that has taken an interest in my life, you’re welcome too!)
*This is not because of any of you. I promise.
*Really what I’m looking to do is deter random people from just stumbling on it. If you’re interested and you want to read, I thank you.

I know that really I don’t care about people reading it. But I might make it more personal, and if I do, I want a security blanket up there. It’s completely ridiculous, I know, because it’s not like it’s going to secure anything- but baby steps, right?

This week I’d like to do my spring cleaning for the house.
I also picked up my guitar for the first time in I don’t want to admit how long.

I can’t watch the video (Youtube doesn’t like me today) but I hope everything’s alright!!!

Will the riddle be like the Ravenclaw Common room password?

… Aweeeeesome!

I’m just glad I’ll still be able to read your stoof after the great lockdown! (At our school we have lockdowns if we think there is a gunman on the premesis. We hide under the tables and whispers scenes from movies. Mostly Grease and other embaressing MovMusicals)

And YAY for picking up the guitar - I love guitar. Music is a wonderful wonderful thing!! And don’t worry about your absence - it’s just like picking up an old book you haven’t read in awhile. You remember wonderful things and find new surprises!!!

Everything’s completely fine, I’m just looking to get a bit more personal. =D

And your lockdown story is quite frightening, actually. We didn’t practice things like that at our school.

I’m a bit frustrated with the guitar at the moment, actually. I used to be able to play for hours and hours but yesterday after about two hours my fingers could not go on. I picked it up today and my RIGHT hand middle finger (not even on the fret board, mind you) started bleeding.

I am so, so sad. I will never go so long that the callouses fade ever again. Ever. Again.

=D

Disallowing search engine spiders from crawling your site will cut down most random traffic of course. It’s real easy to do with a rule in a robots.txt file in your site directory, but you probably know that. There would obviously be some traffic via your online social services where you’ve stated your url, but it’ll still make a big difference. I did it and it it took a couple of months to properly filter through Google etc, but once Google’s caches eventually cleared I’ve divorced any trace of my real name being linked to my online identity or site. The random traffic I get comes through LastFM, iLike etc, but at least I have control over whether or not to post my url in those places.
