Australians All Love Ostriches

I had another post planned for today but I couldn't let the Wordpress upgrade go by without saying something. I'm a little confused. I don't hate it but I wish they'd given us some warning. It caught me by surprise and I spent about two hours having to fix my widgets after everything disappeared and then getting used to the interface; if I'd known I'd have copied everything first to be safe.

I'm torn on the upgrade. I like the new features; the gallery and being able to upload several images at once is a big improvement and I'm warming to the layout. The main reason I'm confused is I don't see why it was necessary to do the upgrade so quickly. Most users aren't going to know how to use the new features right away; a gradual introduction (like the way themes are added) would have been more successful, in my opinion, and allowed people to adjust.

The main thing I don't like is that the edit comment link has disappeared from the dashboard; you have to click on the avatar every time to edit it and that's a pain. Also the font is smaller but overall I don't mind the new version... I just wish they'd waited a bit longer and ironed out some of these problems first. And the blog surfer.

I spent so long looking at the new features and fixing problems that I haven't had time to finish the post I'd planned. So I thought I'd post some of the strange search terms from my blog instead. I call them Googleages after Alynda's old posts and some are bizarre (and not just the grammar). Kind of like my blog, don't you think? ;)

One of my favourites is this one: sulz define. I don't know how we could possibly define sulz... she's funny, interesting, talented... sulz is sulz. It's just weird that the search ended up on my blog instead of sulz's. Wouldn't you go to the blog which actually has sulz in the title? Or maybe that's just me.Let me know if you have any favourites. :)

• unique ideas for a million dollarsAh but if I told you then it wouldn't be unique now, would it?

• australians all love ostrichesA line in our national anthem is often misheard as "Australians all love ostriches". It's true, though, we do love ostriches... perhaps too much...

• new job new sleep pattern no need for alOMG! You're going to kill Al! Why?

• two words that don't make sense togetherActual reenactment. Think about it; there's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Insane logic and pretty ugly. Recorded live's another one.

• cj is special in a bad wayFinally, someone who gets me! Deep down I make Voldemort look like a muppet.

• i want to hold you until i dieBut we only just met. Can't we have more time?

• i waste too much time dreaming of youI told you, I need more time... it's not you, it's me...

• you occupy my thoughts, dreams and hopesStop pressuring me! Look, the truth is, there's someone else... Keri. She's an ostrich.

• more sleep helps you get longer fingers?No idea what post that search must have turned up. I assume it's not true... if it is I really need to get rid of this insomnia.

• youre only afraid of death when you realI have no idea what that means. You're not afraid of death if you're a ghost?

• cj is gone foreverNo, I'm still here. See?

• drink myself to happiness poetryI don't know what's more disturbing - the drinking to happiness bit or the idea that my poetry might drive someone to drink!

• Is it cut the muster or cut the mustard?Cut the mustard, obviously. They mixed it up with to pass muster which is similar. I just liked it that they started with a capital.

• we make smiles happenYou've been hanging out with the poetry guy, haven't you?

• shia labeouf's penisI have no idea where that came from. I mentioned Shia LaBeouf once about Indy 4 and suddenly I'm running a porn blog! ;)
