When I first launched this website in 2005, it was born from heaps of coffee, bleary eyes, and the late nights that created them. I don’t think I slept more than four hours in a single night for 2 months during the early stages. Now, as I redesign and reinvent the website — in hopes that more of my time can be spent actually writing than getting mired in a mass of pasted text, HTML, and PHP — I have found that the late nights have returned.
If you have followed LivMusic for a while, then you know that I have been dormant for some time. The truth is, maintenance of the site became too difficult to continue in my busy life (a life which grew to a previously unimagined level of busy during the last year). Now, however, I am able to return my focus to the site. But before I could resume writing I knew the site needed a makeover, so it was time to get to work planning and redesigning. Now, after applying a lot of virtual elbow grease, there is a shiny new design for the blog (complete with a new logo/banner by yours truly) running on the newly updated WordPress 2.8.2, with more changes in the hopper. I will keep you informed about changes as they happen, but that is not the purpose of this post. No, the purpose of this post is simply to write, to take those first steps out of the chute and get down the track. It is 2am right now, and I have been working on the website for much of the night. But before I call it a day, before night makes that subtle transition into morning, I thought I’d let you know that I’m still here, that I’m working on the site, and that most importantly, I’m writing again.
The late nights have returned. Coffee donations accepted.
