Well, my wish came true because now I spend every waking moment on a computer working for TalentEgg, updating my blog and, now, designing websites for other people.

My friend Mandy recently registered her fashion design business and had trouble creating a WordPress-powered site which was true to her brand. She was awesome with HTML, say, five to ten years ago, but things have changed a lot since then. I didn’t want her to have a website from 1999 for her business, so I offered to help. Partly because I really do want to help her, but also because the only way to become more familiar with CSS and PHP is to actually trudge through the code myself.

It’s coming along slowly, but I had to re-code the theme I chose because it didn’t work the way I wanted it to and the code wasn’t organized in a way my brain could process. It should launch within the next few weeks if all goes well.

Lucky for me, there is an endless number of tutorials written by experts and people who have gone through the same issues. It’s not rocket science or brain surgery, it just takes a little research and a lot of patience.

Thank goodness I don’t have a real life right now because it would definitely get in the way of my digital life!
