I\u2019ll be going to church very soon. Praise Jesus and his miraculous resurrection, hallelujah, amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve included a picture of a (Easter) bunny I took at the fair last year. Yeah, it\u2019s in a cage and is kinda depressing, but it is a bunny. There is probably a metaphor there somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I haven\u2019t posted anything on this blog for a good while. I have been working on the website proper though. I totally scrapped everything I had and rebuilt it from the ground up. So far I just have a home\/landing page and the blog. The blog posts all remained intact. I just am reworking the templates for the display of the blog posts and archive page. Understanding how that worked was information I learned after I created the previous versions, and I wanted something different anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One step forward three steps back. I trashed a lot of work again. I\u2019ve started over several times now. It is a little disheartening, but that work wasn\u2019t great, so no big loss. On this iteration I\u2019m much happier with the results, so far. I\u2019m trying to narrow down the focus of what I\u2019m putting out on the main page structure, and presenting an overall theme that isn\u2019t too busy or trying to hard but still looks good and personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blog post content will continue to be whatever I want whenever I think about it and decide to write it. I hope the layout and theme will be more concise. I\u2019ve learned more about templates and themes and implementing those tools into the main project. I\u2019m learning everything as I do it, and in probably most cases I\u2019m learning it incorrectly or backwards compared to a real web master. But I do enjoy learning this new (to me) technology. I know website building is pretty old-hat by now, for the people who really do this stuff, for a living I mean. But it is a new world to me and I enjoy exploring new worlds even if it is tedious. I like being able to look at something I did. Hopefully it is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday morning again, and it happens to be Easter today.
