I will be the first to admit that when it comes to this site, I have been woefully negligent.  It may have something to do with not having a clear vision of what I wanted the site to focus on.  So, here we are into the second month of a new year and I’ve relaunched the site yet again.  In its current incarnation, it will serve as a portfolio site AND blog. The portfolio component is simple enough.  I’m so grateful to have come across Curt Ziegler’s Minimal WordPress theme.  The theme touched on my attraction to minimal layouts and simplicity, and provided me an opportunity to really think about the type of content that would be suitable and appropriate.

As for the blog portion of the site, I’m still wrestling with that, but what’s bubbling up is to keep it simple as well.  It should most likely focus on publishing using WordPress, but it could also serve a purpose for introducing resources and tool sets for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge base.  I explore and review lots of sites, almost daily.  I’m amazed at the number of links I’ve accumulated particular to Web development, design, WordPress, and creativity.  The site need not replicate what others are doing extremely well; and it need not duplicate tutorial or list sites found in abundance on the Web.  But, I can tailor a message that focuses on minimalism, effective themes, typography, and valuable resources.  Keep it simple. Let people know what my capabilities are, how I can help them solve problems, and provide information that help make informed decisions.

If I can commit to a regular publishing schedule, I could very well become satisfied that this, my first site, could live up to the lofty dreams and aspirations I had anticipated nearly five years ago.
