Getting back into the swing of things

It has been over five months since my last post here and I never wanted it to get like that. The longer it got for me the easier it was to neglect the site but I intend on getting back into the game and posting more regularly.

Excuses, excuses, excuses

Been busy

Yea I know, if I really wanted to I could have made the time. In my defense in the last few months I’ve started a business, got engaged, helped plan a wedding, got a new job, moved, helped my fiancee move in, watched my fiancee and my sister graduate college and more that I can’t think of right now.

Nothing to say

I’ve had nothing much to say. I didn’t think it would be that hard to keep a blog up to date but boy was I wrong. Writing and designing takes not just time but thought. Maybe I burnt myself out over December when I posted 4 posts over the month or maybe I was to busy with everything else that I didn’t have the time to really think about what I wanted to write about.

Its a hassle

Yes WordPress has gotten in the way of posting. I thought that it would be an easy tool for me to use to blog the way that I wanted to, instead its become more work to work around the platform. This is not a knock on WordPress, it has become a fully featured CMS but I just don’t want or use all of its features. Some just get in the way of the way that I post and my design and development process is hindered by it. It sucks that I dread opening up the admin of my blog. I either need to change my process or I need to change how I post. I’m leaning to the latter right now.
