Paralysis by Analysis: Time to move forward!

Last week, I had a problem. A condition, if you will. My software genius husband diagnosed it as analysis paralysis. But when I looked that up in wikipedia, I spent too many minutes trying to understand the first sentence. So then I made a pretty image to mark my paralysis by analysis, and I called it good.

Here’s what happened:  I decided that it’s time for this blog to reflect who I really am. That means I need to merge it with my personal, more anonymous blog. Along the way, other decisions arose, like if I should switch this Web site from Drupal to WordPress, what that would do to my Google rankings, if I really care about my Google rankings, what plugins to use, and if potential clients will be turned off when I start writing about the puppy, God and lessons from the hubs. You know, things that make me tick.

Overwhelmed by these decisions and then hit with a wicked head cold, I opted to spend the week on the couch, watching Joan of Arcadia between mind-numbing naps.

But now I’m back, and the blog is in the midst of a transition. I apologize to all RSS followers who received notifications that I added 10 blogs overnight. And for non-RSS followers — good news! There’s now an easy way to read my blog — just click on the “RSS Feed” or “Email Updates” on the top right of the page. There are still a few more growing pains to come, as my husband helps me import my personal blog entries.

What a learning experience! Not only am I exploring content management systems, I’m also adopting high-tech smart-talk, like paralysis by analysis. Next up, I’ll be an architecture astronaut. … Who am I kidding? That’s about as fun as a cold cup of javascript.
