My Long Lost Blog

So I figured it was about time to make some updates and changes to my blog since there are still the occasional visitors who are seeing the exact same thing every time they come -_-. Sorry about that. I figured, I’m pretty comfortable with myself right now, let’s try this thing again, for the 4th or 5th time. read more

Integration, Linking, It's a Hybrid SEO Thing

Ryan    Uncategorized     RyanJin.me

So, not that I want more people reading the tid bits of dumb information and status updates I use for RyanJin.me, I’ve stuck the URL on my Twitter profile. It’s a scary thing for me. Why? I’m not sure. It shouldn’t scare me, it just opens me up to more scrutiny I guess. Mostly personal though… I tend to keep my professional postings rich in personality and dumbness.. I’m not an expert in anything.

That being said, I think adding links is good I suppose. And while my new revelations aren’t going to be flooding me with millions of new eyes, it is allowing more people (who like reading personal blogs… don’t kill me)… to me.

Maybe one day, it’ll make a shift towards less personal and more professional; I suppose you could say I’m in that shift right now, but I think it’s important to realize that I’m still passionate about the things that make me who I am.. nothing that pushes my own agenda. But like I said, who knows. I’m a reasonable person!

In an Effort to be Social

To be honest, I haven’t really paid a lot of attention, time, or significance to Facebook since, oh I don’t know… when I was in college. It was a means of keeping up with friends, joining groups at your school that you were passionate about, finding people you knew when you were younger, joining more groups that have nothing to do with your school, posting pictures, writing rude comments, and so on. It was quite the time waster in college, and to this day, is pretty well known in the time wasting world.

But in an effort to be more sociable, (like yes man!) I’m beginning to think if it’s time to revamp my Facebook profile and get a little more involved. Myspace is another story, and I don’t think I’ve got enough time in the world to really worry about that one, but Facebook.. perhaps.

And while I might not agree with, find interesting, care about, or wish to look at some of the things Facebook has to offer, I suppose there are the few that I do care about.

One thing I do realize I need more help on, is that in order to be sociable on Facebook, I kinda need to be more sociable in real life. And while thats not really my cup of tea, Andrea and I both think that it’s about time we really took it upon ourselves to go out of our box and socialize. Friends, family, co-workers.. I’m due for a conscience effort, and I apologize for these past 5 or 6 years. But although none of the people of whom I’m talking about are probably reading this, whats the use in my apology. Maybe over time, my efforts will be seen. Until then…

So, look for a new and upgraded Facebook profile sometime soon. Look for it to integrate with RyanJin.me as well as Twitter.com/RyanJin

I’m not as anti-social as you may think I am!

If you’ve been visiting this blog, which I’m almost certain you haven’t, I’m sorry I keep changing the theme, layout and everything else. Eventually, I’ll have something up and working that looks good in all browsers, all resolutions, and so forth. I just don’t want to rush into it and find out that the pages look like crap on MacBooks or whatever.

I’ll try and have a good style up by the end of this weekend. In the meantime, enjoy. Thanks!
