A clear goal. http://tanniespace.com/2009/in-need-for-a-goal-a-clear-goal/ http://tanniespace.com/2009/in-need-for-a-goal-a-clear-goal/#comments tanja http://tanniespace.com/?p=812 I need a goal. I’ve been drawing more (will post actual drawings and sketches and doodles soon) recently, but where does it go? Though I like drawing for the sake of drawing, I also want to do more with it, but I have no clue what. Boyfriend said I should make a book, like Danny Gregory or Michael Nobbs. Well, he actually called them ‘them lot’ cause he forgets the names.

This sounds nice and all, but I feel I should have some kind of message, or something to say at least if I do that. I guess I don’t really feel like I have that much to say (and you wonder why I still talk so much…).

I need a clear goal badly. Do I want to publish (self-publish) a book with my drawings? Should it have a theme then? What do I talk about? Where am I going with all this?

I installed the plugin to make it easier to view my website on a phone-browser. With the help of Joost’s guide to WordPress SEO I tweaked more things, including making my urls shorter (I like that), upgraded my theme to allow the new threaded comments in WordPress 2.7, installing a plugin to check on old links that may not work because of the changes I made and a pager at the bottom to more easily navigate to older pages.

Apart from this I also installed several of Joost’s plugins because very handily he had made the ones I looked for (social bookmarks, breadcrumbs).

Lastly, I went and made a favicon that fits me. Anyone recognise it? :)

I switched from Movable Type to WordPress to manage my site.

It actually went really smooth and I actually like WordPress so far. No unnecessary complications. Movable Type started acting up on me, not letting me edit post titles. I upgraded and then it wouldn’t let me edit post entries anymore. Or post anything new… So I decided to give WordPress a shot. So far, I like it. :)
