Um, this is my portfolio site.
I uploaded the files to the server it would become obsolete, and everyone
would laugh**at me for having the equivalent of an online rollneck sweater.
Then I was like, I should totally do this in Wordpress because that's what
everyone is doing these days. Blogging, bro. So I was all gung-ho about the
Wordpress option, but then I realized I don't know Wordpress—so that was
suddenly out of the question.***
I thought about the sweet Flash site† again. But that is when I started thinking
about learning‡ Wordpress—for real this time. Then I started building the site
in purely vanilla HTML.§
And that's how I landed on hiring a professional to build the site for me.
| * | I am to Flash what Bret Michaels is to Rock and Roll. Sure, we were both good in our primes, and we can still bring it if we must. But let's face it, we've both moved on. |
| ** | Is there a more depraved and self-concious industry outside of Hollywood? Nope, we're fueled by Schadenfreude. More critics than creators. |
| *** | Yeah, so every Tom, Dick and Harry claims Wordpress is easy. I am sure it is, but I needed this site up and I have been working 90 hour weeks. Not a good time to assemble an IKEA bookshelf. |
| † | The folks at Adobe have been busy with their updates. Quite a few changes since CS3. It's still called Flash, right? |
| ‡ | This is absurd. How can I insert the dowel into Slot C while tightening the #23 bolt 4 feet away from Slot C? |
| § | I wonder what they are going to do about this Y2K bug? Sweet, the Goo Goo Dolls song just downloaded. I love Napster. |
