Trends are for Tools
For years I have tried to keep with my usual strategy of bucking trends. So it is only naturally that now that the blogging trend has slowed down I finally decided it was time for me to join in. During my years as a blogless rebel I still managed to keep up on the blog postings of friends and colleagues but I have avoided the urge to join in on the opinion diarrhea epidemic. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to say it was that I didn’t have enough time and/or I was too lazy. Unfortunately, as time goes on and I see and hear more information and am involved in more projects I find myself forgetting fantastic information and resources I hear about along the way.
For awhile I have been toying with the idea of creating a personal website where I can catalog my own findings, tips, and tricks so that I can use them again in the future. Earlier this year I began using our corporate website to catalog some of this information. The unfortunate reality of this situation is that anything I publish there has to be factual and free of opinion as not to reflect poorly on Zipline.
So, here I am, solving my own dilemma with the creation of a blog. Obviously my idea of having a personal website to catalog thoughts and ideas was not original. Realizing this I decided to save myself some programming time and went with the WordPress engine. It seems to be the most powerful and popular blogging platform and I have a fair amount of experience using and extending it for client projects. I would imagine the first few days of my blog will be fairly eventful as I try to find a suitable theme and begin to port over the information, photographs, and code examples that I have at various places on the web into this single centralized location.
