Every couple of weeks, I think about this website. I tell myself, “I should really update my blog.” This is almost immediately followed up with, “But, wait. Why?” I’ve just recently realized that I don’t really want to use this website as a means to tell my life story, or get my message out to a large audience.
The social network has fulfilled any need I have to communicate or share my thoughts and feelings with friends, so I’m not going to try to maintain two different communication channels for the same purpose. The main purpose of this website is to just show people things I’m working on. It’s sort of an interactive resume. As such, I’ll be making changes to this site to allow it to better perform in that role. It’s likely this just means finding a portfolio-type WordPress theme, and hiding some of the posts that aren’t really focused on a specific project.
I guess the ironic thing about this post is that I’m doing exactly what I say I won’t be doing with this website. Go figure. Changes shall be made in a sparse and uncommitted fashion as these internet side-project things typically go. :)
