Why can’t I leave well enough alone?
Jul 10th, 2007 by Markalope
See the problem with this whole blog thing is that I cannot be satisfied with templates. Oh, I’m ahppy to use them, and I really don’t customize them too much - it’s just the little things really. All these little things make it hard for me to start this new blog since I keep running into thing I need to tweak, but haven’t gotten around to changing yet.
Examples?
- I need to make the header clickable to return home - but oh yeah, this template has those cool tabs.
- I need to write the about page
- I need to upload my gotta-have extensions to this wordpress install and activate those few I use. Do I really care about stats for this blog? Of course I do. Which means I need to get serious about fleshing out the META tags, etc.
- No Google ads on this site. This one is just for talking.
- I need to change the index page at Markalope.com to be a real index page or have it default to this blog. That’s kind of a tweaky thing that’s more of a pain than it should be, And I could have avoided it by just installing WP to the right freakin directory in the first place.
- I need to decide what my mission is with this thing and generate some content.
Aren’t new blogs a fun read? What a waste of bandwidth, posting all this shizz when it all should have been nailed before the thing went live.
