Bagi saya, satu hal yang terkadang menjadi penghambat berkembangnya sebuah blog baru adalah keliru menempatkan fokus. Bukannya terus berusaha membuat konten secara konsisten, saya justru disibukkan dengan terlalu memikirkan bagaimana tampilan blog terlihat.
You can't totally blame me for that.
Masalahnya, template akan lebih sulit didapatkan wujud terbaiknya ketika tidak ada cukup konten yang bisa ditampilkan. So, it's like a closed-loop problem. Saya yang kadung capek mengurusi template, tidak termotivasi untuk membuat lebih banyak tulisan karena hasil kustomisasi visual blog yang tidak maksimal.
Let's talk about this template
It is a heavy edited template. The original template was made by a very creative young blogger — I keep the credit link at the footer below. And the other elements of this template come from different sources.
Man, it's been quite a while since the last time I edited this template. The last change was made when I was in (vocational) high school — it's years ago. I applied this template to some dummy blogs. So I could do as much as customization that I liked without risking the actual blog appearance's consistency.
I was like, just putting together every part that I like from some other templates, and I got the code without really knowing what it meant. As long as the goal, which was to look like the desired elements, was achieved, that was enough for me.
It happened quite some times until the point where I was like "It's perfect, in my way. It suits me well.". So, yeah, for me this template captures my personality in brief.
Sometimes, you just don't need any extra exposure.
I choose to use the Facebook comment system over the default one from Blogger because Facebook is still becoming my first speed dial in every internet browser that I use. So.
What about that Tumblr blog's theme?
What about it?
I think it's great, kudos to the theme creator. It shows every post format really well.
So, I guess I don't really have problems about this matter any more. Then I should keep my focus on things that are really necessary.
