I’m spending too much time working on my blog and not working with my blog…

Since I’m new to WordPress, and I’m a tinkerer, I’m finding myself spending too much of the free time I have trying to understand everything, comb every plug-in and widget on the WordPress Extend section, fiddle with .php pages and the CSS instead of actually writing about anything.

I guess most of that comes from having worked with technology, and most notably web technology for so long. And having worked with so many new things that, well, just didn’t work the way it was supposed to. Unfortunately most of the time this happened after I had invested far too much time into it. You never really understand the potential of something until you hit the limits, and unfortunately you never hit the limits soon enough. It’s only after you spend enough time to get 80% into something that you realise that you’re never going to get to where you want 100% to be.

Fortunately it looks like WordPress is in fact a pretty decent system that is extensible enough and customizable enough that I should be able to fix things or add things in the future as I need them or want them without having to start all over.
