To Club or not to Club

Okay, in my enthusiasm, I joined a few fractal clubs - mainly because I do want to keep track of them, and it's easier if you have a thumbnail to click on, rather than going to search. The only problem is, they end up filling my watching box with so many of their members work that I cannot possible keep track, and it puts some of my good friends work on back pages, so I have to scroll through to find them.

What to do? I enjoy looking at these sites, getting their posts when something new happens, and I enjoy strolling their galleries and commenting occasionally when I find something extra nice.

I just prefer not to have all the images sent to my watching box. Make sense?

I know I may not be thinking clearly, but is there a way to keep the links to these places handy so I can visit and still get their journal posts - but NOT receive all the gallery posts? Some code or something I can check? It may be something obvious, I'm really not thinking clearly enough to tell.

I've been really busy lately - to the point that I can tell it is taking a toll physically, but my mind won't let me stop! I just finished a new tutorial, but can't upload it yet, because I'm in the middle of re-structuring and re-constructing my site. And I'm trying to get at least one product created for the stores, as I haven't done anything new all summer.

In the middle of all that - I just bought a new Hard Drive, 500Go, and a new Graphics Card, so I need to install them this weekend. And that brings forth another question ...  I plan to keep all my downloads, etc, on the bigger drive, and keep the smaller drive just for running programs. I figure if I move most of my content to the other drive, it will free up some space and the programs should run smoother. Not sure why I think that, it's really not disk space that makes a diff, it just seems too full to me. (only 50 Go free from that 250Go original)

Anyway, my mind is telling me to go ahead and reformat, get the registry, etc, all cleaned out rid of all the junk. I have everything saved on an external drive - and on dvd's for that matter. So it would probably just take a couple of days - probably be done by Monday.

But my mind is also saying, no don't do that, work on the site instead, and just run some registry cleanup programs, you don't need to start over.

Always my problem, btw. I never can make up my mind - at least not when there are two events conflicting for the same time period. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen. I think I know what I'll end up doing - reformatting - just for the peace of mind afterwards.

Oh, lol - I also need to find a new antivirus program! Mine runs outnext month and I do NOT want to continue with McAfee - it uses far too many resources when it's running.

Okay, I just came in here to babble, obviously - probably talking to myself more than anything else, so you'll just have to excuse my ramblings.

But I also wanted my friends to know that if I'm not visiting much or commenting, it's because I'm totally distracted by everything else, and just don't have the energy to go wading through all those pages and pages of Club Galleries.

Hugs to all! :huh:
