Yet again I have retooled the web site–with more plans down the line. Today’s exercise was one in which I took the latest blog posts and put them in their own section, instead of having them located on the home page. It was incredibly easy using built-in WordPress settings and some of the theme options for Atahualpa. It makes the site feel more like a, well, a site, and less like just a blog. It took all of thirty minutes.
It also de-emphasizes the blog aspect of the site, since I do less of it. More and more, I apply the time that I have to the work-in-progress and other writing duties. I think it’s “putting the platform before the publishing” to spend too much time on blog entries and not enough on outlining, drafting, and revising. The same goes for social media.
Of course, now that I’ve relegated the blog to an interior page of the site, I blog. It must be that I feel the pressure less.
The fact is that writing something long (like the WIP) has accompanying longish periods where, were I to blog about it, I’d say the same thing from day to day, week to week, and even month to month.
Enough of that. Time to write.
