Just Another Panic Monday

It’s been well over a year since I started blogging, and when things first started, I was able to kick out a post or two each day. Then came the daily post, which led directly into a post every other day. The current pattern is now whenever I have time to properly form a post that attempts to be helpful and is written well enough as to not embarrass me.

Hopefully I’ve been hitting the mark with you.

So that you don’t think the swine flu has buggered me, and also to fend off the rumors that I’ve fell into a well only to have Lassie ignore my cries for help, I’ve decided, at the last hour before bed to just jot down some random tidbits that have been weighing on my mind.

Call it a true brain dump.

I’m still building out several posts as time permits. However, I’ve been fortunate enough to have several paying gigs recently that have forced me to give my attentions toward another’s pet project. Of course, this means that my plans get put on hold until I complete what I’ve committed myself to.

Not only that, but Blogger templates can be a pain. I’m not complaining. No no. I’m just saying that because I decided to show you how to build a template, I also need to decide the level that I’ll show. Do I get into the nuances of the code, or do I gloss over it and give you enough to do your own homework on the matter.

I’m tempted to take the latter route, because quite honestly, I don’t want to re-write any books that are already there for your use.

Conversely though, I also want you to “get it”. But I think I’ve decided that I’ll keep things at a high level and point out the details with an explanation when you call it out, or I feel it would be necessary.

Another issue with Blogger templates is that to do what I’m about to do, kinda requires that I do it all the way through to ensure what I have planned, can be done. The last thing I want to happen with my Template series is to find that I’ve painted myself into a corner and have to retract something previously said.

Needless to say, the next post I’m preparing on the topic has brought many, many issues to light. I’m busy addressing those issues, and I hope to see the completion of the next post sometime this week.

The problem with personal blogs is that life interrupts them sometimes, and you’re all subjected to the whims of my life.

Eh, enough of my rambling. I just wanted to keep you abreast of what’s going on in the land of Wayne. Work work work, and more client work.

Oh, another reason things are being dragged out for so long: I have an eBook coming. This new eBook is really the entire previous years project, learning Blogger. Turns out my efforts last year also turns out to be a great 75 page eBook that I now need to figure out how I want to offer it out to people.

Right now it’s being edited by a proper editor (my guru, the English professor) and it should be ready for release something next month.

Things are not slowing down for me one bit, and frankly I’m to the point where a personal assistant sounds incredibly nice.

But that will probably never happen. I’ll just suck it up and keep on trucking.

Thanks for being interested in what I write. I hope it helps you in your life and efforts. There will be more posts forthcoming, just remember that I don’t have the teenage lifestyle anymore.

I sure wish I did though, and that’s one of my life goals, to get that lifestyle back. I’ve found the nut, now I just need to figure out how to crack it.

Of course, when that nut cracks, I’ll share it with you.

Cheers!
