Eureka! I’ve had a breakthrough in productivity. As I’ve mentioned I’ve been planning my website and had some very specific design and functionality in mind. I’d tried to hire a designer but that fell through, and tried labouring through tutorials and trying to make it all myself, but that wasn’t working either. The website languished in non-production for a long time as I lamented not being able to move forward without it.
Then the other day I found a free wordpress theme generator online! I was able to sub in a couple of my own graphics and make the site that way! Now there’s a site for the online version of WHAT Magazine.
Next up will be the site for Diaspora. I’m working on the graphics and initial content. I’m so excited I’m gonna puke!

All that aside, life is great. I went to Halifax for a week recently, visited friends, explored and gained weight. It put a big dent in my productivity from which I’m only slowly recovering, but no matter. I’ve got some extra little paychecks coming and some camping and then a long humid sweaty summer ahead. I’ve come a long way since last summer and have made solid measurable progress. I’m pleased with myself, which is a totally new and alien feeling. Elation.
