Then and Now

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

I like to read old posts from time to time, just to see what I was up to. I’ve noticed a few things about my posts as I read closer and closer to the present. First is my spelling/grammar. A year and or so ago, my spelling and grammar were atrocious. I never spell checked or proofread. Now I do so every post. Since this is my third year writing like this, my spelling, grammar and vocab have also gotten much better. Next is length of the post. Then, I was writing because I felt like I had to. Some stuff that is not in these archives (my one-level-above-LJ) was just a few sentences on my day; nothing worth reading. Now, I try to give a good size post and cover everything I want to talk about. Last is the subject matter. I now have a better idea of what people want to read about. Granted, this is my site, but no one cares about what I had for lunch today, or that I spoke to the girl I like. I try to keep it interesting.

So I guess I am writing this to apologize to those who read older posts. They are poorly written, there are type-os galore, and I curse too much in them. But, try to see past that to what I am really saying 😉 Later!

  • A Story is Worth More Than Your Prototype (Building a Better Business Part 3)

    For many in the WordPress space, when an idea strikes it’s easy to drop what you’re doing and spend a couple of days building a prototype or MVP. But if you’re actually going to try to build a business off of this idea, should you whimsically work on it and release it to the world? I would argue no. In fact, crafting a story is more important than crafting a product at first.
