Why the New Blog Layout
Nov 12, 2009 Communication, Me
If you visit forkintheroadmusic.org you will notice that the page template has changed. For a while I had used the arras theme, which I really liked as far as asthetics, however it did not work best for my site. This is for a few different reasons I think
First of all I think my idea behind my blogging has changed. When I started I wanted to be a resource center for worship leaders. I wanted to write articles about leading worship, provide backgrounds etc. It was all business though, no personal. Over the past few years I have sensed the power in being personal. I still want to provide resources, instrumental reflections, and gather thoughts from worship leaders, but that is only one part of who I am. I also love talking about family, communications, my pets, church, and my favorite chili recipe.
Second I want to become more mobile. I have found that when I have to wait until the end of the day to write a post, I generally run out of time or forget about it. However if when an idea strikes I can write it, and post it then that’s better. I can now take photos and upload thoughts directly from my phone using either the wordpress app or posterous. The new layout allows for this easier by not requiring the thumbnail images each time, and looking uniform when updated from posterous.
So what do you think? I’d love your feedback!
