43 ways to use WordPress | JustCoded
I have been messing around with WordPress a lot more lately, building blogs, stores, review sites and feed aggregators. This post gave me even more ideas.
Compare one Google Suggest result to another. Interesting concept.

Magento is hard to work with. This site is very helpful if you ever run into the beast.
I Don’t Like the Way I Write

Reason Not to Blog: I Have a Crappy Writing Style
I don’t really like pictures of me. I know that unless they are taken from very specific angles that one of my eyes is higher than the other one. Shannon Daugherty can get away with it, but I am not Shannon Daugherty. And I am really not sure of the point of that sentence, because this is not a post about my profile picture being grainy on purpose. It is a post about being a naturally nervous person and getting things done in public.
Work For Yourself Daily

Reason Not To Blog: I have to work to put food on the table.
But that is no longer something I can trick myself into thinking any more. I get lost. There are times after a bout of staring at the same php code day after day that I just snap and can’t look at it any more.
It is not a snap, really. I just get easily distracted when I get burnt out and just let myself go with the flow. Because anything is better than going back to that mind numbing code.
There Is No Killer App
Reason Not to Blog #3: I just can’t find the right tool.
There is no killer application that will do everything for you. Quit searching. This is something I have to tell myself often but I forget.
I will start something new as a beginner and make great strides and I will always mess it up by looking for tools to help me do the work.
I will get just that close to a blogging schedule, then I will go looking for software to make it easy.
The Pressure of Rules

Reason Not to Blog #1: There are too many rules
I almost did it. I almost didn’t write today. I woke up less than motivated. Why? Because I did not get some work done last night and I am feeling a bit guilty. see I have turned myself into a slave to hourly work again and since I care about my work it bums me out. Every hour I spend working on a project makes me more money, but the hours I need to work keep increasing. I am getting burned out on building cracker boxes.
Reasons Not To Blog – A Series

A Few Weeks Ago
A few weeks ago I started writing posts and saving them on my desktop. You see, each one of the posts I wrote in the last year was meant to be the beginning of a new start blogging, if not daily, at least a couple of times a week.
But each time, it never happened. I just started a series on my Affiliate Marketing Blog about creating content that just started with one post and stopped right there. But I have a good start on that series now too.
