The new layout is brilliant for mobile sites, but they've really made it crap for PC browsing. This blog post is mostly following on from my last one and letting everyone know that I'm still alive.

I like you guys, I really do - it's puts a smile on my face every time I see a positive review on work I've done and you guys are good at those, but I've been so inactive over the last year I'm starting to feel bad about it.

I never thought it would really happen, but it did. I followed through with the request. It only took what, four months? Longer?

Ah, procrastination, thou art a fine skill I have mastered.

Everything looks cold and uninviting. I'd use this sort of layout if I wanted Microsoft to buy out the site and sell it on like a whore. Without the feature box in the top of every page, what good is it for me to try and aim for it if only people on the front page can see it? I want my featured stories to be seen by all, not by a few.

Something that I'd never wish upon any author, regardless of how successful they may be or how jealous of them I am. Alas, I have been struck by it and can see no point in my writing. Every time I look at my current piece of work with determination and enthusiasm, the feelings get quickly crushed and I can't think of a way to end this train of thought properly.

I've re-formatted the chapter so it looks like I wanted it to look like. Uploading it during the sites '502 Era' screwed with its layout and removed things here and there. No storyline has been changed or altered, but if you want to read the chapter as I originally intended, go for it.

Here's the deal. I'm not going to be within a 20 mile radius of my PC from Monday to Friday and the same goes for next week as well. Unless I can pull 1800 words out of no-where on Saturday, the fics' schedule is going straight out of the window. To put it simply, chapter 15 is going to be delayed.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I was in the feature box! As of 30/06/2012 around 10:40am I was in the fifth placement for the featured box. However, merely five minutes later I was replaced by another fic...

The moral of this story is that easy come, easy go.
