I really hate cleaning….

I’ve been telling myself for months that it’s time to clean and reorganize my workroom.  However, I’m really a pretty skilled procrastinator, so it’s taken until today to begin making it happen.  I’ve still got a ways to go yet, but my clay area is finally done. 

When my family sold my grandma’s house a couple years ago, I inherited quite a bit of furniture.  Some of it, like a rough hinged-top desk, has been collecting dust in my basement while awaiting a place for it elsewhere in the house.  My dear husband was kind enough to haul it upstairs for me, and it has now replaced the antique card table that I’d previously been working on.  I think I’m going to love the new setup — the desk is a little higher than I’m used to, and I’ve got a lot more room to move around since it’s a more convenient shape.

 

 

Now if only I had time to use it….

Thanks to two wonderful friends, Ken and Adam, I’m finally well on my way to completing my website overhaul.  I seem to be an oddity, a seasoned programmer who is an extreme novice in almost anything web-related.  I’ve sparred with CSS on a couple of occasions previously, but in the past have tended to wander off licking my wounds after it has knocked me on my keister.  However, skinning my new WordPress blog and Coppermine gallery has forced me to acquire at least a working familiarity with the technology.  (Note: I’m still not on friendly terms with PHP yet, though. :-P)

With a bit more work, I should be able to get the main site matching the blog and gallery more closely (although I still haven’t decided whether to move the rest of the main site’s content into the blog or not), and that will (hopefully) allow me to concentrate more on content.  Well, at least when I’m not frantically studying, that is….
