so this might take longer than expected to get everything up and running as smoothly as i would like. but at least it’s working to a point that i can start blogging & video blogging again. 
it’s also nice to have a much better interface for adding video and pictures. the last design (the one, really thin column with the brown background) was actually my “rebelling” against all the blog designs that started coming out with two and three columns of “stuff” cluttering up the page at the time i created it. (and actually.. still today. and i’m not saying that you shouldn’t have multiple columns in your blog design.. it’s just… well.. it can be done correctly.. and planned out… or it can end up looking like content and social media puked all over your website … i’m just sayin’) so now, years later, as big, impacting video and images rule the web… the old narrow design just wasn’t cutting it anymore. plus, there were plenty of things that were broken about that design. it was the first time that i had used a wordpress release that used templates. so i definitely just learned as i went and i see now how much i didn’t understand when i created (read: threw together with duct tape and chewing gum) the old template design.
so i will be continuing to clean up things in the back end (which will take a long time. especially since i’m working with over eight years of blog entries here) and will be using this site to not only post my video blogs/podcasts (which you can subscribe to either via RSS or in iTunes… links are on the left side), but also other random things about design, random things found on the internetz and life in general.
it’s good to be back. ????? ?????
