Slacking and usability

I really need to make that new, more photo-based template for my site, because this one is just not right for posting photos. I am totally in awe of the new photojunkie design, i love its look, how it emphasizes photography, but is still a hybrid blog. Definitely an inspiration.

This whole needing a new template made me think of really how the usability and design of a system or tool you're using determines how and how often we use it. Posting photos in the current movable type system is a pain, even though the upload feature and automatic thumbnail creation is a helpful gesture, but still, i need to click too many times and cut and paste too many times to post my photos the way i want them to be. So i start slacking and not posting as much as i would want to, because it's just too complicated.

My last ever exam (not counting the big final graduation thing next January) in this college is tomorrow, and then i am free to do whatever i want to, and this is what i will do.
