Well, after a night of trying different themes, I decided on the classic Kubric 2 theme along with some custom CSS and images. I have a cool application on my Mac called CSS Edit. This makes CSS editing a dream.
Also check out the three column version of Kubric 2, that is one for another rainy night.
Well, I promised you some book reviews. The last book I read, on a train from Boston to New York, was “Who Moved my Cheese” by Spencer Johnson. I have owned this book for two years and never read it. The timing was perfect so I read it. Wow, great story, great parody, and a MUST read for anybody who is scared of change, and this is most of us.
Well, I have just read the W.H. Murray post on 43 folders on the power of starting, so I guess I had better start myself. To recap what W H Murray so eloquently stated..
“Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”
Very true words indeed!
I have built up a bit of knowledge of Blogging by creating three blogs already. These are DDoS Info, WII Injury, and Mac Beginners. All of these are on TypePad. I have also played with Blogger for another personal Blog.
This blog is using WordPress. I am new to WordPress but look forward to using a system that provides more functionality as I found TypePad to be extremely restrictive.
As well as writing about my experiences with “Getting Things Done” by David Allen, I will also let people know about my progress with WordPress and how I have managed to convert this into a usable blog for this purpose.
Well, the blog is running. I have got a few blogs running with TypePad and I thought it was time to start with WordPress. WordPress is free, TypePad costs me money every month. I am also amazed by the shocking stats available out of the box with TypePad. So now, www.didigetthingsdone.com is running from one of my own hosting servers and I can see the full stats.
Time to learn WordPress!
This is my first post on this blog just to get things started…
