Three Critical Rules Regarding Blog Design

I am not a blog designer but here are three critical rules regarding blog design:

1. There are no 5 minute fixes. It always takes longer than you think.
2. Never start working on your blog unless you have time to work on it.
3. Never start working on your blog right before you intend to go to bed.

Dammit, if I didn’t break all three rules.

I knew that I have a problem with authority, but I never realized that included my own. I probably should have. How many times do I quote Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Essay on Self Reliance.

Dammit, dammit, dammit. I have to go to bed and stop working on this. But the blogging mistress keeps singing her siren song and here I sit. There is a reason why I have two other blogs I am writing for- it is so that I can write.

Yet, here I am teaching myself how to fix what I have broken- learn by doing. At the moment I am going to learn how to go to sleep. This joint will be here in the morning, and if not, well I will have a lot more time on my hands now won’t I.
