Some of you know that my current day job involves web design and development. As part of that job, we occasionally have to recover a hacked site. We primarily build in WordPress. As much as I love that platform, I’m the first to admit that it can have security issues…especially if you don’t update your […]
This year, I decided to do NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) again. It’s been 5 years since I’ve actually signed up to do it. The first time I didn’t even get through half the word count needed to “win”. I tried again a couple of years ago, and I made it a couple of days […]
So, yesterday was my Birthday. I say that only because it’s become tradition, over the last couple of years, to write a blog post on or around my birthday. Mostly to document where I’m at and what has led me here. I started it a couple of years ago, because I was searching for something. […]
Yikes! Days 3, 4 & 5 were no-gos for actually publishing content. I did work on some stuff, but didn’t finish anything. Today, however, I did two different bit of content, and worked on my other goals. Here’s the round-up. Content Goal Today I updated my Elance Profile. I didn’t realize that I never finished […]
It’s day 2 of working on my October goals and here’s how it went down. Content Goal Just finished posting a slideshare that was repurposed content from a blog post a few days ago. I elected to actually “redo” the power point rather than turn the blog post into a pdf and post it. Mostly […]
So, I’ve been reading Neville Medhora’s blog for a while now. Brilliant guy, by the way. You should check out his blog, if you get the chance. Anyway, one of the things he does that I admire is to write out his goals and post them to his blog every month. Most of his “goal” […]
So, I’m starting over again. Which is a position I’d rather not be in at the moment. I thought I had more time before I jumped into working for myself again. In other words, I was trying to avoid the actual “starting without a safety net” part. Unfortunately, we don’t always get to decide what […]
Wow! I just realized it’s been a whole year since I posted to the blog. A whole-freakin’-year. I thought surely I had posted something. I’ve sure got enough blog post drafts sitting in my Evernote right now. Somehow, though, they never got finished. Which is the story of most of my year 30. Most of […]
This post has been a long time coming. Mostly, I’ve put it off, because I wasn’t sure how to handle it. I’ve been so scattered lately. Making plans for the blog, and then not following through with them. Then starting my business and a new blog. Making plans to train for a 5k, write an […]
Today is the big day! Hashtags are rolling out to Facebook! So say all the headlines across the web. It’s an exciting concept, to be sure. Facebook is one of the social networks that has held out the longest on enabling support for hashtags. I’m not sure why, honestly, since hashtags are a really great […]
