Between this week and last week, more progress has been made since my last site dev update back in July. What was taking so long was my fear of entering new territory with developing a WordPress-driven website. However, within the last month, I put myself in a position where I had no choice but to complete a WordPress blog at my real job. My work on that has crushed my fear, cleared my head, and enabled me to break through the wall of doubt that was keeping me from writing and deciphering my XHTML and CSS properly.

In a few words, I put a gun to my head, learned some new tricks, and the ball is rolling again. For real.

About half of this image has been marked up as of a half hour ago. All that remains is is the sidebar content. From there, I can incorporate the WordPress PHP code with my layout, test, and hopefully make the switch to a functional, custom blog by the end of the year if all goes well.

Though my work on this site won’t end there, this will enable me to move onto something new. Like…I don’t know…a custom site design for Dance of Heart? I’m personally looking forward to that.
