Upcoming Changes at SPWD

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Update:

According to my first post of the new year, I should be updating this blog more than I am. However, several things have happened that have prevented that. The most notable is some issues with the server it is housed on currently. Other things, such as working full time, finishing my bachelor’s degree and family have also impeded my commitment to this blog.

The good news is that I have acquired a better server that will offer better speed and more reliability. As for the other commitments, well, they will at this time continue to come before the blog. I hope to start a new series soon on “casual blogging” which is more of what I do at this point in time.

Anyway – the new server should go online sometime in the next month or so and hopefully the transition will go smoothly and down time will be kept to a minimum.

First Post of the New Year

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

As I sit here, having just stepped outside to see the revelry around my neighborhood of the ringing (or exploding) in of the New Year, I find myself seeking several things this year:

  1. Write More Blog Posts, More Frequently
  2. Expand My Knowledge in Ajax, PHP and Web2.0 Design
  3. Enhance My Blog with a custom layout
  4. Generate more readership
  5. Become more active in the blogosphere

While not lofty goals, they are all things I had wished to do in 2007, but unforseen complications mandated a different direction – thus is the blogger life (okay, the casual blogger life). It is funny, I keep up on several blogs, many of which are operated full time, and I think to myself how can I create more space in my alloted time each day/week/month to blog more.

The first item is to create a schedule for my time and try to stick to it, albeit allowing for variances as necessary. Reading these blogs also prompts me to think of a new section, one devoted to the “Casual Blogger” rather than the full-time blogger. There are several items I would like to examine in this area, of course time permitting as I have several half-finished tutorials to get posted straight away this year.

Well, anyways – Happy New Year if you celebrate it at this time of year, and good wishes on successful blogging, successful web design and stressful life in general this year.

Upgraded……

I just upgraded to WordPress 2.2.3 – if you notice anything strange or unusual leave a comment about it and I will look into it.
