As I’m booking my next business trip, I’m beginning to wonder what the heck I’m doing. And not that I’m not addicted to earning airline miles…and room service. But, as a few of you know, I’m struggling with my decision to remain working full-time. And the volume of this struggle has increased in the past six months to an intolerable level. I want it on the record that I have always, always worked full time – All throughout my pregnancies, returning within 3 months of the kids’ births – that’s more than 13 years.

Fortunately, I do have an understanding boss who Read more…

Wanted to share the Southerly gentleman’s site that I’m working on and using to test all sorts of good blog stuff, like plugins and forms. Find it here at dougmosteller.com.

I’ve learned a lot about blog building just in this past week, and because there’s so much information, I can say what I won’t be focusing on easier than I’ve been able to narrow down what I will focus on. (Did that make sense? Well, after a long week, it made sense to me, so play along.)

Regardless, I have the skill to turn this into a side-gig and maybe even more… It really is the definition of outsourcing: It’s not all that difficult, but my target customers would rather spend time focusing on their actual business and leave the blog-tech-stuff to me as the expert. And that’s fine with me.

Have a great holiday weekend…. May each minute pass ever so slowly!

To all my faithful readers out there – all two or three of you – I’m not in hiding and everything is great! I hope you’re dong well too with the heat of summer moving in.

I haven’t been posting on my personal blog because I’m working on another blog project with a Southerly gentleman who wants me to build blogs for his clients. My work-in-progress ‘business blog’ site is at willyoumakemeablog.com (funny title, eh?).

With this project, I’ve been doing a lot of research and practice on using custom WordPress themes to make a blog look even less like a blog. I’ve been amazed at the sheer amount of plug-ins that are out there and have been busy figuring it all out. In my web design days, I used to spend literally hours building a site from scratch. Now, a blog, which looks just as good (if not better), can be created in a few hours. (I’m very glad, however, that I do know how to look at code because that makes using the themes even easier and more customizable.)

I also built a blog for a woman I met doing the weight loss program back in January. Her name is Melissa Bierman, she rocks, and here’s the blog I build for her -> bodynsyncnow.com

So, thanks for dropping by! I’m still around.

No long post because the words form in my mind and then just as quickly escape

I’ve been off my game, stuck in a ditch. Shouldn’t be a surprise but still depressing
