Keep calm and carry on
Once upon a time, way back in the day when cell phone providers had an analog network, there was a girl who used to be obsessed with web design and maintaining websites. She would blog, pretty much about nothing, from 2001-2005.
Then she got a job. She became pretty busy with Life, Growing Up, and Responsibilities. You know, the really boring shit. One day (in fact, yesterday), she decided she wanted to have an active website again.
A lot has changed in the World Wide Web since the last time she had a site. It went all 2.0. There were lots of shiny badges, gradients, and widgets to be had. The girl was confused and felt she was in way over her head (which could easily be achieved since she is only 5′1″). The following gem from Abe Simpson pretty much summed up her feelings:
I used to be with it, but then they changed what “it” was. Now, what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s “it” seems weird and scary to me.
And now let’s use this as an opportunity to transition from the third person to first person!
People liken the experience of returning to something once familiar to riding a bike, but since I’ve never learned to ride a bike, expect a lot of falling down and skinned knees. Hopefully you will enjoy my misadventures, instead of pointing and laughing. Keep on and carry on!
