What Next?

Dear Reader,

I’d like to thank those of you who have shown continued interested in my journey thus far. It has come to my attention (thanks to my conscience) that I have really not been working enough with this particular medium of communication. In short, I have been dealing with a lot of life things (who isn’t these days?) and consequent discouragement in the continued process of keeping my head above water. This said, I’ve done a lot of thinking over the past quarter age about the Project’s website and have decided to make some changes.

I’ve come to the realization that I would like to give this entire website a complete overhaul for the sake of any sighted folks who end up stumbling into its depths. While the Project is not disappearing from its spot in the cyber universe, it’s high time that this blog in particular receives some TLC.

I will begin by archiving old posts and figuring out whether or not I’d like to keep them here. Not a lot of folks have visited, so it’s not like there will be a lot of people who will miss them. At the same time though, it’s kind of neat to be able to look back and see what has changed as far as writing style, content, etc. I’ll be doing some thinking on this for certain.

Another major item of note is that I am ready to switch to a different WordPress theme. I’m worried at this point that doing so will ruin the look and/or formatting of my older posts, which is one of the reasons as to why I may not keep them up here and just start from a clean slate. I’m not very technically minded and would like to have an environment where I can create content and know it’s going to look halfway decent without a whole lot of jiggery pokery on the visual side of things. A friend of mine is going to be assisting me with this transition, so I finally have some hope and don’t feel quite so lost in this particular regard.

As for actual content, I’m honestly not interested in going big or going home at this point. I’m simply interested in sharing things about my life with people who just happen to find the reading entertaining, educational, or uplifting. This blog is not meant to be a professional venture. It’s a passion project, and the content is going to continue reflecting this fact. Yep, I’m going to say it… this whole thing is for funsies. Ewww, I hate the way my screen reader says that word! Still, you get it.

With that out of the way, another part of the overhaul is going to be the addition of a separate page that reflects what professional services I currently do offer. I am also going to see about integrating WooCommerce into the back end of things so I can have a little shop… That’s a ways down the road, however.

With all that in mind, understand that the future of the Project is still very bright. It is, after all, a representation of me; and whether anyone likes it or not, I’m not about to die any time soon, so neither will the Project. And that, dear readers, is how this cookie is going to crumble. It’s then going to be made into the best cereal ever… or something!

Light always,

Kira
