Re-inventing the wheel

After another long coding session I have decided that I’m no longer going to make my own framework for Wordpress. Why? Because there is no point in re-inventing the wheel. Currently I am using the Thematic Framework, which I was basing my work off of. I figured why make a new one when I already have a feature packed one to begin with. Instead I plan on incorporating what I’ve learned into Thematic.

I’ve learned quite a bit about Wordpress and PHP in general in the past few months. I’ll admit it probably took me longer than some. Only for the simple fact that I am a visual learner. When it comes to XHTML and CSS, I can make a change and instantly see the results. I can see those results even if I make an error. PHP on the other hand… doesn’t often work that easily. It’s the artist in me. I am an artist first and a coder second. Linear vs The Whole. I digress…

I know I mentioned (for the few who actually read this) that I was close to finishing my new site. This has taken a back seat since I have gotten several freelance requests. So now it will take longer than anticipated.

Forever and a day

This is taking slightly longer than I expected.  I’m hoping to be done within the next week or so. *crossing fingers*

I’m thinking I should have gone with an incremental upgrade instead of doing it all at once.  That’s something I’ll keep in mind for next time.

Patiently awaiting the New Year

It’s been a rough year all around.  I’ve decided to take this blog in a new direction.   I have deleted all the posts I’ve made over the past several months and plan on focusing on things that are more in tune with what I love.

Stay tuned…

I’ve been working on a new template and new styles.  I plan to utilize this site as one big experiment, seeing how far I can push the limits of WordPress.
