Being a web designer\/developer is addictive! I’m not sure what it is that causes it, but once you’re in, you’re in and there’s no way of getting out (even if you want to). It seems like if a couple months pass by and I haven’t designed a new site, I’ll find myself randomly thinking of ideas for sites to start. The difference between this type of pondering and other random thoughts is that with websites, they actually get created. It’s weird. It’s not so bad if it’s just a site or two here or there, or a site for a paying client, but it seems like that’s rarely how it happens. At least that’s not how it’s been for me.<\/p>\n
Currently I find myself supporting several not-for-profit personal websites. This weblog is one, I posted a like to my cheesy personal site<\/a> and then there’s the mandatory family site<\/a> and the very outdated business site<\/a> not to mention a couple<\/a> sites<\/a> that are still waiting to be developed and of course the longboarding site-gone-wild<\/a> that now has a forum with over 60,000 posts in it. Those are just some<\/i> of the ones that I run for ‘fun’… getting into clients is a whole different story.<\/p>\n So, a word of warning, if you’re going to get into web design, just make sure that you know what you’re doing. It’s not a hobby, not a profession, it’s an addiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being a web designer\/developer is addictive!
