Building a Website: Progress, Challenges, and Content Creation Journey

Follow Newton NJ Hayek’s Market customer Brian Schnabel’s weeklong journey as he builds out his website in a new direction, organizes digital tasks, and shares tips on content creation, category management, and site development.

I’ve reached the decision to begin building out this website for the duration of the week and through the weekend. There will be some back posting involved, giving me an excellent opportunity to revise the AI scripts I use for writing and categorizing.

Of course, I need to take care of things like the dishes, laundry, and other fun stuff like that, too. But I can’t stay seated at a keyboard forever. So, it’ll get done at some point.

Will it all be done today, or even tomorrow? Probably not. But I’m only one person and therefore, some concessions will have to be made.

I have other things that need to be managed on the digital end, too. WAV files from notes on phone calls need to be sorted and converted to MP3, that kind of thing. I’m a little behind on some of this stuff, but all things considered, I’m doing pretty well.

I will turn my attention to more development work on the new theme beginning on Monday, in earnest. I really do want to get that done and installed on this website. But content shapes layout and the more content I have up in advance, “The better.”

I have twelve categories to fill, and the beauty part is that Pagination on this site is disabled. So, no matter how far back I go with my posting, only so many items are going to show up front and center. If the search engines index it all, “Great.” If they don’t, “That’s not my problem.”

I have a rough idea of what I need to do now. I’m on a roll with this thing. I now need to “just get it done”!
