I think I might be crazy. I started two new websites.

So I’m kind of ridiculously happy about projects that I’ve been working on.  Almost deliriously happy like this dog.

This past week I went a little mad. I started two new websites.

I’m so excited about them, that I had to share.  I don’t take my happiness for granted, ever, because it’s not always there. So when it is there, I want to shout about it from the rooftops.  But I’ll just settle for talking about it on here instead.  Less of a climb.

I used to think that people who started 2nd blogs were nuts. I thought that maintaining one successful blog was damn near impossible enough. Having two means that each site has less of your attention.

So I decided to have three.

The names popped into my head as I was trying to fall asleep at night. I had to just go with it. I’m breaking all my own rules, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

This first blog is going to be health related. I have wanted and needed to get into better shape for quite a while. I need to exercise more and lose weight. So, I’m going to incorporate my love for writing and blogging to motivate myself. It will also incorporate my recent obsession with eating organic, sustainable, and humanely treated animals.

So, I give you: Getting Rid of My Double Chin.

It’s just a shell of a website at the moment, without any posts. But future posts will include:

• Healthy eating recipes that I enjoy
• Organic and local eating adventures (such as visiting local farms… I went to my first one yesterday!!)
• Research based articles about environmental issues, humane animal treatment, and how I am trying to change my behavior
• Weekly health challenges
• Weekly record of my weight loss progress (this one scares me to admit the numbers, but the accountability of it is great.)

Then, as I began to start this new site, I realized I have a new passion: learning to be more techie. Since starting this site last June, I have basically taught myself everything from online resources.  I’m naturally technically challenged, but with a lot of patience I am able to teach myself.  I love learning.  I’m insatiably curious.

So I am going to write down every, little thing that I teach myself.  I learn best by writing or typing out what I am learning, so this new blog is a space that I am talking to myself.  It is a reference of little things that I learn, organized in a way that is easily accessible. For this past year, since diving into the online world of blogging, I have met some awesome technically brilliant people whom make me jealous of their nerdiness. I aspire to be nerdier. I want to understand more about creating websites, coding, HTML, and using Thesis.

So I have decided to become Nerdier Today Than Yesterday. I have the over ambitious goal of learning and blogging a new tip almost every day.

The topics will surround:

• Firefox/PC tricks
• WordPress and Thesis customization
• Blogging or making money online
• HTML
• Anything that I learn that relates to computers, website development, and design.

I was emailing recently with a friend of mine who maintains multiple successful websites. I was asking her advice on starting a 2nd site, because I was having doubt about if it was a good idea. She said something that had an impact on me. She said that she blogs every day, on one of her sites, and its just a habit now to blog about everything in her life. I know that sounds INSANE to most of the non-blogging people that may read this, but I now have those aspirations.

I want to blog about something every day. I’ve tapped into new passions, in health, self development, and now learning to be more techie.

When getting rid of a negative habit, you have to fill that hole with something. I’m choosing to fill the hole with writing, blogging, and learning.  And I’m ridiculously excited about it.
