This is just a service announcement. I am still considering to resuscitate this blog. In the time of Tik Tok, Instagram, YouTube (what did I miss?), I still believe the text, the written word will find its audience. In 2017 I planned this blog to be an English version of my another blog in my native language. Some posts could have been translated and adapted, some could have been original.

That's interesting. I have just found out that this blog has been made private. The option 'Private - Only blog author' has been selected for I don't know how long. What's happening? Did I accidentally do it? Or did the blog AI decide to go private? I strongly believe the latter. 

I've been fighting with Blogger's themes and layouts for a couple of hours now. As I mentioned earlier , I chose to use the new " Contempo " theme and the default layout, almost untouched. I did it on my laptop where the resolution is 1366x768 . The side bar on the left always collapses on this resolution and the blog looks OK to me. However, when displayed on my larger monitor ( 1920x1080 ), it doesn't look OK. The side bar is expanded at all times. And it looks awful. The issue is that I have a disabled/hidden default gadget at the top of the side bar - "About Me".

At this moment I am unemployed and have quite a lot of time to get things started. Using a new Blogger theme First of all, I decided to use one of Blogger's new themes -  just the first option in the " Contempo " line. I am a bit conservative, and I chose a traditional theme at first. Then I thought "What the heck" and went for the new stuff. Frankly, I am not quite used to it yet. About an hour has passed so far :). I feel like it is growing on me. However, if I find it inconvenient or impractical in one of these next few days, I may revert to a more usual theme. Along with making your blog look more up-to-date, which is on the plus side, it changes the way you may be used to working with the layout on the blog's dashboard, which is not on the plus side.

I've always wanted to start a blog in English. I already have a personal blog in my native language. At some point in the past it became popular. Literally overnight. People read my posts, comment on them, spam a little. And come back for more. And I like it. How about another one in English? There are more people speaking English than those speaking in my mother tongue. So more readers could be expected in a while. I am going to start it as a personal blog. Most personal blogs I have seen so far are not "attractive".
