Of blogs and widgets

I don't blog as much as I used to, or even as much as I'd like to -- I'd like to blame Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and the million other media tools we have now, but truthfully, it's all my own doing (or lack of doing). My love of this blog, however, is unchanged, and I stubbornly refuse to give it up, despite the world and my own life moving forward. This is all spurred, of course, by a simple thing: I had to change my Blogger template. All Consuming, my favorite site for keeping track of what I'm reading, watching, and listening to is going away, so I've had to make do with a Goodreads widget. Don't get me wrong; I like Goodreads a lot, too. It's just I'm not a fan of the widget. Bygones. You'll still be kept current on what I'm reading, which is something I'm sure you're all excited to know, and I'll still keep trying to blog more.
