Would I Want Today to Be Different?

Darren Rowse at Problogger.net wants to know what we would do differently if we had to start our blogs again.

Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. Why? Because I am very happy with the progress I’ve made with my debt reduction and I am very thankful for every visitor I have had and every comment I’ve received. I never thought my credit card debt would be where it is at right now. It may only be one dollar under $30K, but it’s still under $30K

If you think about it – if I changed one thing about how my blog developed, today would be different. I like the way my blog has progressed. I wish I had a screenshot, but my first template looked somewhat like this except the background was black. Looking back, it was sort of depressing and while I thought it was neat when I first had it, it soon didn’t fit “me.”

Then I went to a dark purple and dark green theme that I designed. Again, no screenshot. But, it was a little better than the first one in terms of a positive attitude. That one was soon replaced by my current theme which I was so glad to be able to reproduce in Wordpress (I was on Blogger before).

At the moment I cannot see my theme changing but it probably will. As I learn and evolve, my blog will evolve. I think it’s great that I have this snapshot to look back upon years down the road. I believe that the human mind is complex and interesting as well as very powerful. I look at my blog as a way to understand myself a little more, and I slowly am.

So, I wouldn’t do anything differently

Hi Tricia,
I discovered this blog via Darren’s group writing project.
Your post reminds me of my first websites that I designed and I regret that I didn’t preserve a screenshot of them. I think I would shudder to see…

I’ve redesigned my blog several times as well. I like your current theme! Great post – we did this project as well – http://lilduckduck.com/archive/187

Thank you both for stopping by! I think it’s great that Darren has these so we can explore other blogs
