Well hello there!
I've been trying to do some pimping over the blog lately, but it all ended in unfinished work (somehow I realize I work better late at night but I can't afford to go late to bed since I have to wake up early next morning, so, there you go, unfinished work). Finally (I guess) it's done. You will notice some changes such as the name of the blog, which I will write about briefly. So let's explain what I've done around here.
1. Sooz Goes Down is now Joy of Sooz. Which makes sense since my address (joyofsooz.blogspot.com) is precisely that. So what happened here? First, I chose Joy of Sooz when I first opened the blog because I was thinking of the quote "Welcome to the joy of Sooz, guess you'll never know" (from my favourite TV show, As If). Later I decided to name my blog "Sooz Goes Down" to pair two things: Igby Goes Down and the fact that I was moving to Australia (down under). Makes sense, right? Now why then do I decide to change the name of my blog? Due to dirty minds and misunderstandings. Come on, you now what I mean. I didn't even think of that until one day someone asked me "is your name because of Igby goes down or because you-know-what?" and it shocked me. Big time. So, because I don't want to give the wrong impression with the name, and because I don't feel like Igby any more (going down, I'm rising baby! ... ok that might be a bit lame), then 1 + 1 = Joy of Sooz. Just like that.
2. I've reduced the amount of unnecessary crap in the main page and created a bazillion number of pages. I exaggerate, as usual. There's no crap in this blog and there are only some new pages. You can check my about me page, where I explain a bit about yours truly and the purpose of this blog; you can check the photography page where there's a link to my tutorials and my flickr and some street photos I've been taking; you can check the travel page where you'll find a map of where I've been around the globe, some travelling tips (that I'm updating at the moment), and some inspiration videos that I found; or you can check my lists page, where you'll find my bucket list, my movie and books list, and some blogs that I recommend and that I'm member of. Lots to check, huh?
3. I took out my twitter and facebook gadget since they seemed too big. Instead I added just the links to my twitter, facebook, pinterest and bloglovin. Be sure to follow them!
4. I've added my top 5 posts. And with no surprise, the one about Harry Potter is number 1. You have no idea how many people keep searching for it, and there are very weird keywords they use. It's followed by one of my first posts about my converse shoes, that shocked me.
So there you go, hope you like the new face of the blog. I'm getting used to see it cleaner, it feels like when you clean your room and store all your things that were lying around everywhere, and then open the windows and come back in and it looks cleaner and brighter. Same. Now I wish I could say the same thing about my room right now, but one thing at the time, ok?
