brain not big enough

Once upon a time, back in late 1994, I learned html and started making web pages. It was easy, everything was straightforward, but the content and design was boring. Pretty much all anyone had on their websites was lists of links, maybe a few photos. But I was current enough that I could call myself a web geek without anyone paying me to create web pages.

In the meantime, while I was making nice static pages with static content, the web world moved out from under me, and I'm having a hard time catching up. I learned a little php when I rebuilt this site last spring, so I could load random quotes and random images into the top section of my pages. It occurred to me then that I should learn enough php to make my entire site modular, and enough css to make redesigns easy. I put it off, and did it half-assed, so there's lots of static content, and a little flexible content.

And then I started looking into this blogging stuff, Movable Type, and others, and I've discovered that I'm behind, way behind. You can do some way cool stuff, but man, it's a lot to keep track of. So I'm stuck editing these entries by hand until I have the time to sort through all the implications of implementing Movable Type on my site.

I think I'll probably just back everything up and give it a try. See what breaks. Not like anyone's reading this stuff anyway...
