…but I can’t finish you, either.
A website is a little bit like a child. You conceive it (though using methods hopefully unlike the ones employed by humans) and grow it inside your computer, and – when it’s ready – you unleash it onto the world. Once you let your creation loose, however, you need to remember to feed it once in a while, maybe help it along in the world, make sure it’s doing alright. Even a mature website needs to be checked in with once in a while.
I am a very neglectful website owner. I haven’t even finished the “social media” aspects – Yeah those “Digg” and “Tweet” buttons don’t work…yet. I think I can make the Digg one fairly easily, and I’m sure there’s some way to generate some code to Tweet a static link. Bah. I spend dozens of hours in Dreamweaver every week, it’s hard to make myself click that icon on personal time (and this “fairly new” MacBook).
Don’t worry. I have plans. I made a list. I still consider this a “work in progress” site, so for now it’s just going to have to keep working as is. Stuff on the list:
- “Digg this” & “Tweet this” Features
- Actually posting to the Blog
- Redo the photo area of the home page (make it clickable)
- Change around “Comments” functionality. Not sure if it’s really working. (Would anyone like to post a comment? Anyone?)
- Make sidebar “float”…okay that one is only a ‘maybe’
We’ll see when I get around to some of that. I’m sure once the holidays come I’ll have a day for coding, if I can pull myself away from Left4Dead 2…
