I feel you there. I am just now getting back to using my blog because I disliked the design so much that I could not stand to use it. It was not a bad design per se, but, for some reason, I would go there and get moderatly frustrated at it. Finally, (after about a year of whining about it) I got around to actually fixing it by creating a new template and by adding hooks for Windows Live Writer.
Anyway, the separate blog for twits is not such a bad idea. I might have to do the same sometime, lol.
soulhuntre Yeah, it does really get tiring after a while to try and keep the designs and so on fresh. At the moment I just want there to be no impediments.
