I guess I should "officially" announce the new aspect to my blog, and that is obviously the studioMDK:photoBlog. The link is directly under the counter, and yes I added a link back to here from the photoblog. I might actually update that more than this, but who knows. I have a camera phone, so it makes it a little easier to take pictures when I want.
Enjoy!

So I have been looking into adding another function to this site of mine. What I want to do is add a "photoblog" section that is just photos I upload.
My original intent was to have it be more of a moblog (mobile blogging). My only problem is that the only software I can find is php based, which my $0 hosting program does not support. I also don't see myself shelling out $10-$20 a month for something that may not be updated much (like this blog, but I am trying). I am wanting to be able to send an image from my phone to a specific email address and have it automatically uploaded to the site. There are websites that do this, but I wanted to keep the content under my domain.
I am currently testing out Snaplog. It is Windows based software, and works similarly to what I am using to blog this site. The only issue is that I would like to have the automation as mentioned above. I also need to redo the theme of the page. If you want to see it in it's current state, you can do that here. Any feedback would be welcome.

This was supposed to be a post about my fancy new Epiphone SG, but now it is about me shipping it back. I ordered the SG Monday night. I have been wanting it for a while. It came in today, so I unpacked it and started enjoying myself.
After about an hour of playing, I slid my hand down to the headstock along the neck. A tiny piece of finish came off into my thumb. I looked closely and noticed there was sort of a line coming off of it. NO!!!! I put a little pressure and revealed a crack.
I called the number on the invoice, and so the ordeal of swapping it with another has begun. They emailed me a shipping label. Now I just need to go to a UPS store and send it off. I would post a picture, but it would just make me sad.

I was cruising around Instructables, and I noticed my how to on drum refinishing had a list of referrers on it, which I haven't noticed before. Google was listed on it many times. So I went and googled my articles. I put in "how to refinish a drum", and my article came up as the fifth one listed. Sweet!
In other related news, I sold my Fender Stratocaster. I got $300 for it, which is good for a made in Mexico strat. On ebay, they were going for around $200-$275. Now I just need to track down th SG I want. I am hoping I don't have to order one online because I would rather try it out first, but online reviews at Guitar Center give both the ones I am looking at 5 stars. I'll just have to wait and see.
This image has nothing to do with the post.
