I came across an interesting article about writing “affirmations” to help you achieve by Scott Adams.

You know, the guy who writes the Dilbert comic strip:

“But some of my goals involved neither hard work nor skill of any kind. I succeeded with those too, against all odds.”

— Scott Adams

It reminds me a lot of the “Autosuggestion” concept in this “Think and Grow Rich” audio by Napoleon Hill I’ve been listening to recently.

I’m going to do it, or something close to it.

I vote for the latter.

I initially wasn’t able to find the right way to convert my personally crafted web design into a WordPress (open source blogging software) theme… and now I have. While this blog is new, it was always my goal to use WordPress because it gives me more ability to customize and enhance it.

Plus WordPress produces “valid code” meeting web standards. I’d previously taken the time to write my hand coded (home page, contact page, etc.) pages XHTML 1.0 Strict and it annoyed the heck out of me to go to validate my source code produced by Blogger and find 277 validation errors in it.

I like it. Blogger was good. It’s what got me interested in web design in the first place as opposed to merely writing, which I’ve always enjoyed. This has much better features.
