Auratia, now a photoblog

This will likely be my last "update post," as this will be the last transformation of this website (finally). I also considered moving it over to Wordpress.com (and maybe even using Wordpress.org). Even though I like a lot of the features I'd have (such as trackback URLs and tag clouds), I ultimately decided against it. I'm stickin' with Tabulas. ^_^b (For now, anyway. I might still make the move in the future. If I do, though, it'll probably be to use Wordpress.org with my own domain.)

I'll start posting my photos within the week, one a day. Hope you enjoy them! =)

Please note that the "last transformation" of this blog only applies to the purpose, and not to design changes. You never know when I'll get bored with the current layout and make something different! ^_~
