Important decision regarding this blog, life

As I sat here, stressing mildly about the amount of work I seemed to have created for myself, I remembered that I have been wanting to tinker with the code on this blog to make it look more like my own. In true Josh fashion, I charged right into the task and began futzing with header styles, colors, and text sizes. It was immediately quite confusing so I tracked down the maker of this theme and started to read up about this particular theme. At the same time, I figured that the Wordpress forums could probably help me with a few of my general questions. I implemented a random image switch for my header, changed the title format, and started messing with the individual post headers.

After about a half hour of mucking about in code I only half understand, the stress of other jobs being ignored started to seep back into my head. Though I’ve let go of any urgency on this blog on purpose, I also want to get into the habit of at least a weekly update here. I have three posts that are half-done along with an article I’m making for Squidoo and my home page. I also need to build a blog for someone else and it needs to be done in the near future. I also have some nagging editing to do for the same person the blog is for, I owe my recent customer (post on that coming soon) an invoice, and I think I’m still enrolled in school. Not to mention the pile of certification books I just ordered that are begging to be cracked open.

All this stuff just hounding me for my attention and I’m screwing with the CSS of my blog. So I made a decision:

Aesthetic changes to this blog, my other blog, and my homepage will be placed on hold until content concerns and primary outstanding customer concerns are addressed.

As such, this blog will remain fairly ugly but will be updated more often. My home page will be getting a slight content overhaul to make it more search engine friendly and explain what I do a little better. I have also been working on an HTML format of my resume which will incorporate some parts of my LinkedIn profile.

All of that comes third to pertinent work that demands attention at gtmbride.com and content additions for this blog and my home page.

There, now that I’ve said it, it must be done.

Stay tuned. Please.
