I got the idea to use ~/.emacs/init.el... My advice is to use a separate file, the value of user option `custom-file', for customizations that are written automatically when you use Customize (e.g., `M-x customize-option'). That keeps such generated code away from any code that you write in your init file (~/.emacs). Let Customize fiddle with `custom-file', and keep your init file for your own fiddlings.
