Not taking DanReno.com down for development

So a few days ago, I was contemplating whether or not I should take down the site so I could spend time developing it into what I want.

As I stated in my last post, my concerns with doing that were basically around my recent inactivity and how I wasn’t sure taking down the site would be my best move since I couldn’t find the time to blog in the first place.  Well all of that has changed now.

I am attempting to turn over a new leaf and become more active in general.  I have spent the last year trying to get  acclimated with my new surroundings and not really doing much of anything.  Being a hermet. With my girlfriend. Staying in and doing the same thing over and over.

So getting more active with my site is my ultimate decision.  I can develop it as I go; contually adding new features and customizing the site to fit my needs as I get more familiar with PHP, SQL and programming in general.  Not to mention the front end side of things with HTML/CSS.  I’ll need to make an effort to learn more about the details around HTML 5 that’s supposed to be released soon enough, but let’s take one thing at a time.

I have a real issue with getting overwhelmed often because I like to think about everything as a whole.  And if there’s anything I’ve learned in recent months, its that taking things one step at a time is the only real way to get stuff done and take the neccessary actions to change things.  So that is what I’m doing.  Taking things one at a time. And this site is one of those things.

But there is much more to come in the next 6 months.  I have many plans in the works (mwah). Obviously its all a work in progress, but I assure you that the stagnant Dan is slowly going bye bye.  As things unfold, I will be keeping you all up to date.  That is, I’ll give updates in between all of my ramblings and unwanted opinions. :)

Some of the ramblings I plan to post going forward include, but are not limited to:

• Beer/wine reviews
• Photography “exhibitions”
• More music related posts
• Wonderful techie geek stuff
• And of course, good ‘ol SEO

Stay tuned, all (2 of you)!
