So I’ve test driven several WordPress themes and brushed up on my CSS and html skills. Funny how things have a way of coming back to you when you put your mind to it. In any event, it is hard to believe that it is mid-August. Seems like summer goes by faster and faster and this week will officially be the last week of my summer break. Between attending a two day leadership team retreat, jamming several meetings into a Wednesday and then taking off the last weekend for some vacation time, I feel like I have been productive and yet, items still remain on my to do list. Getting the website up and running has been time consuming and rethinking the design, structure and purpose has reached a crescendo and I hope to have the final touches figured out shortly. The design approach I find myself most gravitating to is simple, clean and minimal. Scott over at plaintext.org has a great post on some of the nicest and cleanest WordPress themes out there. Darren Rowse at ProBlogger.com just finished a redesign of his site and his work convinced me that simplifying and removing clutter makes sense in blog design as well as in life.
So in the meantime I have settled on this theme and will begin to move my effort over to working on the syllabus for my Creative Writing elective for the fall trimester. August always seems to mark transitions for me as I am sure it does for many others in education. I am looking forward to the start of school, and yet, one can’t help but be a bit apprehensive about all that remains to be done.
