Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

I have a lot to do. I have limited time (and concentration) to do it, so it seems that getting organized is the first thing on my list. Now I have to say, just between you and me, that I am not a naturally organized person. At all. But as I mentioned in my last post, I am learning the usefulness of being at least a tiny bit structured, because it saves time and frustration. Ideally. So, I have begun.

The first thing I tackled today is the decision on which sites to keep, and which to consolidate. I use WordPress multisite so consolidation started to make a lot more sense to me, rather than having a bunch of different domain names for different things. This way, all (or almost all) my stuff is under one domain, but with multisite they can each be individual sites on their subdomains.

I’ve gotten rid of, or at least will have once the domain name expires, thebookoflouis.com, and have put that at blackhistory.nanettekelley.com. Once I get settled in again I will start doing the history thing and researching of Black history to add to the site.

Humanbeams.com I will keep, and will likely always keep regardless of if I ever work on it again or not. It has lots of archives and they still get visited, so will just leave it there. I have to let it go for now, though–at least somewhat. It’s always a worry in the back of my mind, what I am going to do there… for now, though, I am not going to worry about it. I will just say that it’s there for people to enjoy the archives and that’s that.

Also, I have decided what the focus of each site is. I have more than just the two, but I am consolidating there as well. This site I think I have figured out. As well as the book of louis. I have to do a little more thinking on them, but will start only on this site so that I don’t get distracted, and build out from there. Or, organize out from there, I guess.

I have to do a few things that others may benefit from knowing how to do so I will document it in posts as I go along. Successes and flubs alike, sigh.
