I am a nerd in progress
Then, I started my own outdoors and adventure business and decided that I wanted a website like so many cool websites I see all over the net. Naturally, my business was an extension of myself, and the site was to reflect that - which means that it was to be an ever expanding project - not something simple and painless. I approached some designers, and the amount of money I got quoted was my first push into learning how to design websites, if I didn’t want to stick with some 4 page creation that I could afford.
From then to now is a long story. Suffice it to say that wide-aware.com is entirely my creation (I have used packages, but applied and integrated them myself). Far from the basic html, I’ve even figured out some javascript (or at least learned how to google for stuff I want to do and find it)
The more I learn, the more I network, the more I realize that there are many who are on constant journeys of discovery with their machines.
This blog attempts to reflect some of this learning curve in words which another nerd in progress might understand better than polished pearls of wisdom that take some experience to recognize.
