001; as you may or may not be able to tell there have been a few alterations around 'vivatramp' the past couple days (: i'm basically trying to improve the blog atm because i feel like in this year out i'm gunna have a lot of creative energy from not studying! so, i'm trying to make it a better place to be & an easier place to navigate. in doing so, i've deleted the links from the left hand side & made proper legit pages just under the banner - 'about me', 'to do list' & 'regular features'. i've also installed a search button, which you can find at the left hand side of the blog, to make it easier to search for your favourite posts or for particular key words used in my blogs. & i've added an archive of my older posts right underneath so you can search each post by each month. the earlier ones make me cringe :/ i hope this is all helpful (:

002; i've also added a little 'follow me' banner thing on the left hand side of the screen so it's now a billion times easier to follow me on twitter. i usually tweet several times a day so do check it out & keep an eye on my little twitter widget on the right hand side of the page *which has also changed colour ;)*

003; i'm thinking of deleting my formspring account purely because it's not really being used at all :/ let me know what you think but if there's nothing there by the end of the week i may just ditch it & opt for a Q & A over here at the blog instead or something. that's if any of you have any questions for a simpleton like me, haha. i've tucked my email underneath my photo just in case anyone has any questions/wants advice/just wants a chat.

004; there should be some new features within the next few weeks for vivatramp. i've sketched out a few ideas & thought about maybe breaking into a few outfit posts, review posts etc that you wouldn't usually see here. stuff like that is a little out my comfort zone because i don't really like having my photo taken & i don't really class my style/beauty regime as anything other than mundane but hey, it'd be nice to have a little eclecticism here. i've also got an interior inspiration post planned because i've recently been sifting through hundreds (literally!) of photos in search for bedroom ideas. what do you guys think? after all, you're the lovely followers! which leads me on to a BIG BIG thanks to the new followers of vivatramp & of course to the loyal existing ones. it means a great deal to me to know that people actually like what i have to say! & really stands me in good stead for my chosen career path & journalism degree. so thankyouthankyou.

005; in more of a personal update, i've had my second driving lesson. it went really well & i'm rather enjoying taking time out to learn these sorts of new skills! this week? i'm embracing the time i have left with my beau by chilling out with him & watched the last few episodes of dexter season four *argr, on the edge of my seat!!*.

i hope you're all having a lovely week so far & continue to do so!
