Some Random Dude

I have been talking about the blog redesign for a while. A long while. Considering the scope of the project I created for myself, I knew this process was going to take a while, but frankly, I vastly underestimated the effort is has taken so far. All that said, real and significant progress is being made. If I really wanted to push it and launch the site as soon as possible, I could probably get something ready in a week. However, that is not the goal.

I have mentioned many times that I truly want to finish this project in the correct manner and get everything in a place where I can just concentrate on generating content. I not written an article in what seems like forever. In the meantime, loads of work and ideas have piled up that I desperately want to show. All that said, once the new blog is up and if it delivers as I hope, creating content will take less effort and allow me to concentrate on the purpose of a blog - posting articles and media.

This whole redesign is not just a run-of-the-mill Wordpress theme. So far, with the help of some very generous friends, we have added on to at least 3 plugins and are creating a couple custom ones on top of it. A new icon set will be created for the design, custom javascript widgets have been created and a few other doodads here and there. All that said, it is not too impressive in and of itself. However, when working fulltime and trying to manage all other pieces of life, it becomes a significant effort.

All that said, big progress is being made and I truly cannot wait to get this thing launched. I hope the few readers that read this blog have more patience that I and hold on a little longer.
