Look What I Can Do

I have been using Squarespace for over 2 years now, and I love it. I love it so much, that I use to camp out in the Developer Forum to help out everyone else in using Squarespace. So much so, that they hired me :)

Now in being busy with that, and a ton of additional projects I have taken on, I have not had too much time to get back in there and lend a hand. Additionally, I have seen a great deal of incoming traffic to my site from the Developer Community due to customization posts I have added in the past, and I want to make sure I help these visitors out.

So, here is my plan:

My Twitter Feed

Well, after killing off my Sidebars in my latest redesign, I got upset that the only thing that I ever liked in my sidebars was my Twitter Feed. So I took out a piece of paper, and tried to come up with a plan to get my Twitter feed back on my site.

There were two ideas that I initially had. One, was to create a DIV off to the right side of the Content area, like I have my Social Media Links on the Left. This looked and worked well, but ran into an issue of my canvas being too wide, and on a normal 1024x768 screen resolution, it was getting chopped. So, idea number one was scrapped.

A New Start

Welcome to my new start. A new start in more ways than one. If you had read my last post Thoughts and Ideas, you can probably guess why my new start is needed.

Over the last week I have slowly started focusing on narrowing down the thoughts and ideas in my head. I have also been taking the overloaded energy my mind has been using and have been using it to channel me, my life, and my drive into a new direction.

With much thought, and a good needed kick in the ass, I have decided to start my own company and I have been working on putting it together for the last couple days. It is still in the early stages of coming together, but I'm going to do it, and that is where the new start in more ways than one comes in.

Thoughts and Ideas

As I sit outside on my backyard patio, umbrella up to block the sun for which I have not seen in weeks due to this horrible weather we have been having, my brain is stirring with thoughts and ideas. These thoughts and ideas that have been driving me crazy for the past couple weeks and are now in full force attack. They are holding me hostage with a high ransom. I need a high skilled negotiator to free me from them.

That high skilled negotiator is either a job, or a crazy idea that will be the basis for starting my own company.

These thoughts and ideas are slowly turning into panic. Panic is one mode I do not need or want to be in. I need to free me from them fast, but I don't know what else to do right now. Stumped...

It is not like I haven't been trying to find a job, I have, and I have been doing so every minute of the day since I was laid off.
