As Any good Web Developer will tell you there is always more to learn. Right now my blog here is done via WordPress. It’s not that I don’t like wordpress, but I feel that doesn’t speak much for the Developer in me that I am using a system like this and didn’t build something on my own. For sometime now (long before I started this) I have been trying to build a blog site for myself. Never happy with how it looked or thrilled with how the back end was working I caved and started using WordPress. The need to still have a blog that I built vs templates is still important so slowly I have been working on a Django based blog. I am not even close to being done but it’s getting there. I have the Admin side up and running and 2 test posts added and even a comment section added. Lots of styling is still needed, and quite a few more features to add that I want but hey, I am not unhappy with it. And that is what is important. It is taking me a while to get this far only because I am picky about certain things, but if it is going to be my site I should be happy with how it turns out right?
My current hurdle is the landing page. Right now it is all the posts like you see above. I do like the shadowing I have going on that make the posts stand out. That was fun. But I also need to have the recent posts show up on the right in the links section. I need or want to add categories as well so you can filter. I am sure in time I will get this figured out. Then of course I guess I will have to add all the posts in wordpress to that one. It is fun testing and trying new things. Seeing what I can do. Just how far can I push my self. Will this blog ever go live or just be a project and I stick with what is working? Honestly? It doesn’t matter, as long as I am doing something, and keep trying things I am bettering my knowledge and skills.
