Even though I have been on the internet daily and done plenty of geeky digital things over the past month, my blog hasn’t had a new post to display for a while and it feels like I haven’t done anything at all!

For me, less blog activity = more busy life so when things need my full attention, it’s my blog that is the first to suffer. There was a a time when I would postpone real life events because I had a regular post spot to write or I’d get itchy feet to get home when I was out and knew I had lots of comments to respond to.

The past few months however, has given Life the opportunity to show me that the word “important” has a fluid meaning. Things that were, are no longer and things that weren’t are suddenly more important than anything else …until they’re no longer important any more and I can get back ‘on track’.

Right now, there are some pretty big important things to get done. It may involve moving, it may involve a massive change of career and more but for sure, IT’S VERY IMPORTANT I GET THEM DONE!!

but enough of my moaning about stuff that can’t be changed…running parallel to all these important things is something else that has consumed my days and nights over the past year, the Commentluv site and plugin.

Now, this would normally have been one of those “it’s important, oh wait, now this is more important” times but I took all the pressure off by going to a professional team. I said “I want this” and they said “that’ll be xxx.xx $ please” so I said “yes!” and now all the pressure is off me because I have paid a deposit on a completely new site which will be running on a new platform and have so many wanted and useful features that you’ll be blown away!!
The backend script for CommentLuv is also being rewritten with a view to providing much more functionality and also allow for a much better stats system.

The work is due to start in February and in the mean time I will be looking for people to take on staff positions. There will be a variety of positions available as the time comes to launch the site so stay tuned to the newsletter (due to start again soon) and this site for how to apply.

I’m already arranging the first paid writer and hope to get a lot more in the coming year which had the effect of taking a huge amount of pressure off my shoulders while I sort out the things with people who don’t understand what blogs are (you know, the real life people out there in real life). I’m still around and I’m still coding when I can, the rest of my digital life will return to normal when my analogue life finds it’s feet!

follow me on twitter to get my updates, I’m always on that in one way or another (yey blackberry storm!)
