Was going through the blogroll this morning and catching up on recent posts, and I came across this post from Rach Smith:

It’s okay to lower the bar

I had to remind myself that it’s okay to lower the bar. That an average version of something is better than a perfect version of nothing. All I can do is have a go.

Holy hell, does this ever resonate with me. There’s so many times that I just don’t have the energy to do a big ol fancy post with linkbacks and essay-like writing. But that’s not needed – all that’s needed is to post something. Anything. Just like right now.

I’m trying to get used to more smaller, shorter posts here, just posting what’s been going on in my day or the thoughts in my brain at that moment.

Gonna spend my evening researching how to do POSSE properly on my site. Would be nice to just post something here and then automagically have it pop up on Masto and other sites without me having to click things every time.

Here we go with the itch to change the layout of the site again.

I’m really digging this WP-DOS theme, for some reason I really do like the very old school green or amber text on a black background look. I think I’d go with the amber text, it reminds me a lot of the computer lab at SLU back in 1995 or so, when it was nothing but text-based and I spent almost all of my time on Usenet and doing text chat with a friend I met from Canada.

I know WP has the Live Preview feature with the block themes, where you can tweak the layout and changes BEFORE making it live, which is GREAT – but I want to play with it more first and possibly save the changes I make, and I don’t think you can do that. I believe you have to change it in one go.

Maybe I’ll take some time this weekend to play with it and see what I can do.
