FYI

In the predictable style of me, I have already grown tired of this project. The goal of this project was to teach myself raw html, and that I have done. This site was created with no programming of any kind. When I want to create a new post, I pull up a template, activate the previous/next buttons, create the title, activate the previous post’s next button, add the content to the homepage, and add the link to the archive page. Then I upload these files to my site. Which is not too difficult.

But suppose that instead of writing these words here, I thought them more appropriate in the header? Well, I would have to go into each individual page file and cut/paste to edit what was written up top.

Cumbersome.

There are many things I think I could improve on this page, and yet to do any one of them would be quite boring and time consuming.

Thus, I am done with what html alone can do for me. On to greener pastures.

Problem now is that I was looking at drupal, which led me to looking at mysql, which led me to php, which led me to 8,856,495,157,674 questions about…well…everything. It is as if I sat down with a novel written in Japanese and decided to translate as I went. Not so much luck. Thus, I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment. (Any suggestions?)

All of this just to say that this site will probably not change much, contrary to what I’ve written above. It will probably stay just like this (though I will continue to post) until I figure out how to wrangle some more sophisticated tools.

Wish me luck.
