Well, one of my many topics of interest is programming.  I had set out about 3 months ago to build my own custom blogging platform.  Due to work load, and basic un-interest in taking up another project, I never actually finished it.  Another blogger and co-worker that I know, Tyler Ingram, just recently moved from his own blogging platform, to the one that I am currently using, Wordpress. Now, this installation of wordpress is very new and basic.  I plan on using my limited programming knowledge to build it into a tool that is more useful to me, and that I will enjoy using more.

I say that it will be more useful to me, let me explain a bit more about what I mean by this.  A more experienced programmer who will not be named once told me that you know you’ve done a good job if you can please 75% of your audience, 75% of the time.  That’s all good if you are building something intended for a large audience, and many uses.  This blog is only intended for me, and the readers.  The reader’s needs are fairly basic, they need to be able to read new posts, comment, and have a way to find older posts.  The basic word press install already does that.  I would like to modify the part of the site that I see.  I have many ideas for things to add and change, but you’ll see those when I get to them.

That said, the first change I will be making is a new skin, I am already tired of the plain blue!
