I’ve been working through some ideas on another post. This is something that I will post at some point between now and whenever I decide it is done. The reason for that is… I don’t really know. What I do know is that I am working through an idea that is relatively long and will probably only get longer. I might post it as a page. I may definitely create a required login for people to get to it (been wanting to limit access to various parts of the site for a while) with a required username and password (you can thank codename: CAMPER) that would also require individuals to create usernames and passwords and all to gain access to different materials. This should prove to be fun as I will also probably just (at least at first) allow people to create a username/password to access whatever. At some point in the future I will (most likely) limit access a la other people who have websites that have limited access. At present, this will not be page or post specific as I’ve not really cared for instances where I’ve seen that in other websites using similar or the same software.

What all of this boils down to (or distills as I’ve enjoyed using that when people ask what codename: CAMPER’s first name means or comes from) is that I think I am planning on moving this site in a slightly different direction. One of the elements that exist with this is that of the (nearly) 1000 posts and the definitely more than 1000 posts after I incorporate In Order to Write into this site. This is exciting since I also need to go through the original seven hundred or so entry’s and re-order the categories and links and stuff and other odds-n-ends and things that ultimately arrives at a streamlining of the website (me thinks and hopes).

Grand plans.

Grand plans that I may avoid as I have a tendency to not want to re-read my rantings and especially since what I’ve been doing for more than four years is writing rather long and (relatively) intricate entries on everything from movies to books to people to age to … everything. Yes. Everything. Okay, not everything. I seem to follow some rather interesting patterns. Honestly, I like the idea of having everything in the arsenal all in one place. One outcome is that I am interested in making sure this site is a bit more streamlined and accessible and more. Not sure what the more is, yet; but it’s still there.

And you know what, it will all prove to be fun. No. Not for you, for me.
