Finally, after a long long time, I decide to say something to my readers. It's been crazy in here!

Today starts my 2009 and with it certain acknowledgments and decisions I've made. Today I want to share some these with you.

<h3>New website theme</h3>
I've been struggling over the very presentation of my website. After some months I guess I can settle with the <em>6th iteration of the Amethyst series</em>.

<h3>Posts in Portuguese</h3>
For the first time I am going to <em>add some posts in portuguese</em> to allow other audiences to visit my website. Each portuguese post will be categorized and identified as such properly.
<h3>No <abbr title="Internet Explorer">IE</abbr> direct support</h3>
Realizing <a href="http://stopdesign.com">Stop Design</a>'s wonderful approach to approach IE users, I am going to <em>drop support for IE6 and maybe even IE7</em>, providing a proper stylesheet complies with them. Now that IE8 is almost coming, we can —and should already do this a long time ago and— start discouraging users from using low level browsers. Besides, last time I checked, my IE audience is between 1 and 5%. Not worth the investment.
<h3>Personal bookmarking system</h3>
I don't use <a href="http://delicious.com">delicious</a> that much and yet I should because I have some pretty good links I wanted me and others to reach more often. That's why I am also going to <em>manage them bookmarks from my Drupal website</em>. This will be implemented soon enough.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
2009 will be a serious and decisive year in my life because it will be the year I will learn a lot on my skills and also get a lot of work to apply them skills and earn what I need to boost my life up a notch or two.

Let's hope for the best!
