News - My Blog Ate My Homework!! - WordPress, and Blogging Update
Formatting how I hate thee, let me count the ways!
Argh! I never realized how much work it would be to import the few previous guides I had written into www.pseudorant.com. I really enjoy writing but reformatting articles I have already written is starting to make my head hurt. I started out thinking a Blog would be all fun and games, but it turns out it’s actually hard work!
I don’t think it’s a problem with my software or the site itself. I believe it has more to do with the fact that I need to educate myself on the new software inside and out, so I can find the most efficient way of doing things.
I guess that is part of the reason I enjoy working with computers, because it offers me an ongoing education in technology.
So far every guide I have previously written needs to be reformatted so that it’s easier to read, in my opinion. I feel like it defeats the purpose of writing in depth guides if it hurts people’s eyes to try and read them. I have tried to fix these problems with my style sheet, but I think I am running into trouble because the page was manually formatted when I posted it on Blogger. Because of this, the import function carries over all the old code which causes the articles to look weird once I have them on the new site.
I am doing this post entirely through WordPress to get a feel for using the program and to see how this post will look. Because I am not importing any formatting from another website, Frontpage or Microsoft Word I think that this post will probably look ok.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am not a slave to MS software. I am a slave to change in my personal life. I was diagnosed with Tourettes syndrome and OCD when I was a kid, and have grown up hating anything that forces me to change my routine. This makes the computer aspect of my life pretty funny because I work in a field that requires constant change.
Working on this Blog is teaching me numerous things about computers, technology, and myself. I need to kick myself in the ass and accept these changes to get out of my rut. I have decided one good way to do this will be documenting the random thoughts and events in my life so I can use this as a gauging point in the future.
Hopefully things will start coming together so I can get back to writing some guides for the site. I have a LOT of really cool articles planned out, not to mention all the numerous rants that tend to come pouring out from time to time. I feel like I need to rebuild the foundation on the new site, so I can start off on the right foot! Once the technical issues are out of the way it will allow me to work freely, and I will be able to start offering some really valuable content, and focus on blogging regularly.
Until I get to that point this is pretty much a construction zone, so make sure you’re wearing a hard hat, and bear with me until then! I will keep you posted with any news.
