Welcome to my blog... This has been a project I've had running through my brain for about 2 years now - to the point that it's gotten rediculous that I still haven't done it. I have found my biggest problem with getting projects done is that I just can't do them gradually - it's either all or nothing. The other problem, which compounds the first problem, is that I'm incredibly ambitious - so any project I undertake ends up getting bigger and bigger to the point that I just can't fathom the idea of doing it all, and if I can't do it all in one go, i just can't launch it.
This blog represents a departure from this mindset for me. As you can see, it is a very basic start - a bare-bones install of a blog package. At least now I can start to download all of the ideas that have been bouncing around my brain for all these months. Sure its not the prettiest thing you've ever seen, or the most functional, but hey it's a start... hopefully having this up here will inspire me to keep adding new posts, keep improving the functionality, and keep making it look nicer.
So what should you expect from this site? Well, without giving too much away, here's some ideas I have for my blog site:
- General information about me, my life, my passions and my professional life
- Tips & tricks that I learn along the way in my work and freelance life - mostly .Net, Web development and Umbraco CMS stuff
- Links to cool websites that I find in my web surfing adventures
- Reviews of products I use, including software, gadgets, etc
- Discussions about things i do like music gigs, movies, etc
- Photos
- Etc
So yeah, as you can see i have big ideas for this site.. but really it's just a place for me to unload all the junk from my brain. I'll use it very much as my own reference site to remind me of things I've learned in the past... with the hope that some of you, the readers of my blog, may gain something from it too. If you do, please take the time to post a comment - it'd be nice to know that there are actually people out there and I'm not just preaching to an empty room.
Thanks, and enjoy my blog
Greg
