 "Wandering Through My Mind" Click on Artwork for Story and Details
Hello again! I figured that it was time to stop procrastinating and let you know what to expect from this photoblog.
Usually when I create a work of art from my photography, I create first and title last. With this post, the first thing that popped into my mind was the title: “what’s it all about, alfie”, which is the first line from the Hal David and Burt Bacharach 1966 hit, “Alfie”, made popular by Dionne Warwick and the movie of the same name.
After I recovered from thinking “WHAT corner of my mind did THAT come from?”, I decided to look up the long forgotten lyrics and there it was:
“i believe in love, alfie
without true love we just exist, alfie
until you find the love you’ve missed
you’re nothing, alfie”

 "Day's End", Late spring sunset, Shenandoah National Forest, Virginia. Click on Image for More Information and to Add to Your Collection If you’ve been following along, you know that in Day 2 of 3 of Just Do It… I shared my second day of ”writing” my first blog. I put “writing” in quotes because, as you well know, I hadn’t written the first word, opting to get bogged down by all the technical issues, not to mention all the other obstacles I managed to throw down. In this final part, I share the happenings that FINALLY woke me up.
Day 3 started out like the first two, full of hope, but feeling the pressure of meeting my self-imposed goal. I’m not writing yet, but I’m learning a lot. The problem with the whole procedure was that the more I discovered, the more I felt like I had to learn. It was a vicious circle like the first time I was on the World Wide Web….one place led to another, which led to another, which led to another and, before I knew it, I was completely lost.

In ”…Day 1 of 3″, I took you through the first full day of “writing” my first blog. The saga continues…
What I haven’t told you is that, several months ago, I took the entire WordPress course on lynda.com. All this tutorial stuff was actually a refresher. The thing is, I had changed themes and now I was working on WordPress installed on the server hosting my website, rather than on the WordPress website. Before, almost everything was exactly like the tutorial which made life so easy. Now, with a new blog theme and it being on my server rather than the WordPress server, the tutorials didn’t quite match, which added to the stress level.

My webmaster, Marian Jackson at Paintwebs.com and I have been working on a massive redesign of my website since the middle of February. While there was, and always be, a million little things to do, I made the decision to take it live on July 1, 2010. The one remaining major ”task” was creating my first Blog. And that’s when Procrastination reared it’s ugly head.
I’ve had almost five months to think about it. Five months to come up with the most elegant, insightful blog ever written. The 4th of July holiday weekend was going to be the perfect opportunity. Three whole days to come up with something. Enthusiasm was high. Determination was powerful. The end was in sight. Unfortunately, procrastination reigned supreme.
