Web Pages Forming Up.

Wow! so the structure of DI is coming together. I'm about 70% done by now and I'm still moving forward though not as fast as I want dream I could. My plan is to have it all formed up by my vacation next week and once done then I start the slow transition to producing content. 

It's been a real challenge to keep pushing. I so want to just have fun and tell stories and do all sorts of project. I have to fight myself to stop from being sidetracked into content. Can't do that! must keep working on structure. 

Moving Forward

The funnything about writing, you are either moving forward or falling behind. There is no keeping up it's one or the other. Today I was moving forward. It doesn't take much to move forward but it does take effort. Making no effort and planning is falling behind. Even if you must have planning days or outline days or what ever it is you are calling them, they are not moving forward. 

Add to this days of working on web pages. 

Web page tweeking and designing is nothing but a large time sponge... sucking up your free time and stopping you from doing what it is you should be doing. making content. The new buzz phrase for web 3.0 should be Content, Content, Content!

Web 2.0 connected us with one another

web 3.0 should be about empowering us to create. 

I have set a dead line for a start date on my bus driving blog and I have the web page in a state of absolute simplistic simpleness ahh I love it. Keep your graphic widgets to your self. I will go simple and focus on the stuff that counts.. Content. 

A New Start... Again

Well I went and done it. 

I started my web page all over again.

Looking back I realized that I have done this every year in Feb for the last five years. 

There should be an HTML anonymous for bloggers like me. "Hi my name is Dan and I have a Blog" "HI DAN!" A place where the chronic idea changers and fiddlers can face the demons of their constant but well meaning restarts. 

I think this is for the last time and next time I do it, I will pay to have it done for me because I really hate working with HTML and designing web pages and all that. I may have said this last time, but this time I mean it! Really I can quit, I’ve done it before... 

Hold on phone...

 “Web page Anonymous? yes my name is Dan...” 

I figured somewhere along on my journey a web page designer will either take pity on me or run me over with a HTML 5 powered muscle car. Either way the long hours of messing about with web pages is done, done, done. 

So what will this web page be? 

It will be a little of everything I fear. I'm going to throw everything up here until something sticks then I plan to follow the hits. Sort of like being a creative prostitute I will go where the eyes go, my prices are cheap so ask for the around the world. Some, by that I mean idiots, would say that I’m selling out and just going after hits... they would be right. Besides I just said that so why aren’t you listening! I’m still doing my thing, I’m just doing it in the way people want to see.

I’m not an artist though I am a creator so I have no problem with doing what people want. That is the difference in my mind between the Creator and the Artist. Artist do what they believe is right and you either end up with the Sistine Chapel or Phantom Menace. Since my hatred of the Phantom Menace knows no limits and there is no chapel in the greater Portland metro area needing painting I will stick to being a creator. 

In my early incarnations of my online presence I always did what they say must be done in the "How to write a blog" books. I wrote different blogs for each idea I had. I had a bus driver blog, a short story blog with podcast and a medieval podcast along with a dozen other smaller but regular ideas I juggled around. No more of that... Not that it didn't work, it worked really really well. I'm just too lazy and frankly that many passwords give me a mental rash.

So from now on it's Danimagine as the header then all the ideas I have go under that header. If people are not smart enough to figure that out... oh well. Maybe internet success is not meant for me. 

So that brings me to my goals if internet success is not for me then what is? Why am I doing this? Here are my five reasons or as my parents would call them excuses as to why I don’t have time to mow the grass. 

1. Have fun.

2. Income enough to pay for this hobby of internet creation.

3. Express all the ideas that are crammed into my head.

4. Have fun.

5. Open new avenues of creative endeavors with new people.

When I have reached all those goals, then I get out and mow the freaking grass.
