Just a quick post today about the “behind the scenes” stuff to let you know what I’m up to on the technical side (like math, the “web management” side of my blog intimidates me) for the new year, as well as some of the goals I hope to achieve this year with my blog:
–I just upgraded to 2.9.1 yesterday. I am determined to learn more about how to use WordPress this year (i.e. preventing blob-o-text on pages, etc.)
–My most sincere apologies for not catching this major glitch earlier: all my download links were broken. I have no idea when this happened (or why) but a HUGE “thank you” to my web-guru Michelle for figuring out the problem and getting everything back in order, and so quickly!
–Speaking of downloads, I slacked off on posting the rest of my published stuff over the second half of 2009, but only because I haven’t been able to figure out how to size the files properly (too large to download at the moment). Vexing…
–Today I beefed up the “favorite sets” page. There are now tons of sets to choose from, categorized by “warm up,” “pre-sets and drills,” “distance free,” “stroke/IM,” “sprint” and “cool down.” Hmm…maybe I’ll add “taper” in the near future…
–I also just discovered a whole different comments section today (again — not so good with the technical side. I’m thinking about booking Michelle to sit down with me for at least an hour to teach me all about WordPress and BlueHost). I will review all comments today and address your questions as soon as I can.
–As for my 2010 blog goals? In addition to learning how to use the whole set up better, I’m hoping this is year when I finally achieve some of my original goals: create a logo, update the topper (although, I have to admit, the dolfin has really grown on me and it does refer back to my first swim team mascot), create a fun give-a-way, get some images posted, do some research to add to the pop culture and the swimmer page…
I have a few more blog dreams that I’d like to turn into reality, but first things first. Let’s get those old goals crosses off the list once and for all!
Until next time,
