As a new self-employed entrepreneur, I can say that while my business website (daircomm.com) hasn’t started out as a WP site, one of my requirements for a hosting provider was that it could become a WP site if I changed my mind later. I could decide initially whether to make my site a WP site or not, and since my husband is a developer and wanted to help, he made suggestions on the current design that is not WP. Maybe that will change. But TechCommGeekMom is most definitely a WP site, albeit one that’s hosted as a WordPress.com site rather than self-hosted. Even so, based on my experiences using WP for TechCommGeekMom as well as on other websites I’ve worked on that use the platform, I support what the author says in this article. WP really is a great tool to use!

Darin Hammond curated and posted this article on Google+, and boy, does it hit the mark right now. It’s been harder for me to blog these days, just because I’ve been busy. As I write this, I just got back from a conference a mere 2.5 hours ago. I know I don’t always find the balance. Now that I’m going to be working for myself, and working to gather a clientele (and help the clientele I have for the moment), I need to figure out how to find that balance between getting some good blog posts in again, and working on getting other things done as well. (Not today, I’m exhausted and I think the jet lag will hit any minute.) But I also take my time writing, because I want to make sure I write something that has some value, and that it’s written well (or at least half-decently). 

 

For me, family duties and duties to myself come before career. I do what I do for my career because I enjoy the field. It doesn’t consume my life, however. I’d like to think I am more multi-faceted than that. Thus the struggle for balance continues and will probably always continue…

Thanks to Tina Howe for curating and posting this up on social media channels. This is an interesting social media outlet that I hadn’t heard of before.  Does anyone know much about it, other than what’s here? Perhaps some additional research is needed, but it sounds great as a viable revenue stream. Hmm….

You dig it? The English language’s terminology for concepts and the mind is peppered with Hiberno-English.

Since I’m on a language kick today, and I’m leaving for another trip to Ireland (for the IEEE ProComm in Limerick, Ireland) in a few days, this seemed appropriate. Gaelige still eludes me phonetically. I always feel like once I get the phonetics down, then the rest becomes easier. I guess someday I might figure it out. 

 

This is an interesting article about how Irish language has influenced English language.
