Tell no one

Can you keep a secret?

I haven’t abandoned the Internet, but I’ve actually been pretty busy for the last few days, making a new web site for my library. This is still in rough (rough rough) shape, so don’t show it to all and sundry.  The library’s current site is somewhat eye-bleedy, so my first order of business was to set up a WordPress site. Why WordPress?

1. I use WordPress on all my sites now.
2. It’s ridiculously easy.
3. All files are on the cloud, so I can update from anywhere (including my phone)! Great for snow days, etc.
4. I have no interest in spending a ton of time coding.

Although this initial transfer of data is pretty labor-intensive (especially because I’m trying to decide what’s going to make the move and what won’t), it’s actually somewhat entertaining. I may be overdoing the whole minimalism bit, but I think that this is a definite step up from this. I’m not going for the best web site ever, just something logical and organized and less busy than before. At the rate I’m going, I should be finished by the end of the week. Also, since this is the most time I’ve spend with WordPress in a while, I’ve learned a lot of valuable stuff that I will be able to use on both of my web sites. So: an update in look is in the near future.

(Cue the gleeful, evil cackling…)
