Give Your Blog A Mobile Presence

If you’re viewing this post on your mobile device… then you already know. My blog now has a powerful mobile presence! I’m all about the user experience here. So in order to accomplish this I spent months developing the code that would give me this result. My diet consisted of little more than Cheetos, fried chicken, and Red Bull. I gained 60 pounds, I worked where I slept, and I haven’t done any laundry in about 4 weeks.

All for you. You better enjoy it!

I’m only joking of course. I did this in about 15 minutes by installing WPtouch Pro. A WordPress plugin from BraveNewCode.com!

It only costs $30 for a single site license and it comes with free lifetime plugin updates and support! I’m pretty excited about this.

WPtouch Pro automatically transforms your WordPress blog into a mobile application experience when viewed from popular touch-based smartphones like iPhoneTM, iPod touchTM, AndroidTM, and BlackBerry StormTM. Over 90% (and growing!) of the mobile-web surfing world will see your incredible mobile website with WPtouch.

I Am Enough

Growing up is hard. Sometimes we feel forgotten… alone… fat… dirty… but God sees us for who we really are.

BEAUTIFUL! LOVED! BOLD! PURE! SUCCESSFUL! RESPECTED!

ENOUGH!

Someone Might Spit On You

As children, we constantly picked up rocks to find out what was underneath… we blew on blades of grass between our thumbs to find out what type of noise it made… we looked around every last corner. As children we asked everyone “why” to the point of exhaustion.

A child’s curiosity fuels their creativity.

As creatives, we need to be in a continual state of curiosity. Trying new things, playing with the latest and greatest toys… watching informational television such as Shark Week. Listening to other creatives describe what they found around corners helps us find other corners to walk around. Feeding our curiosity not only allows us to learn more, it also does a great job of making sure we don’t get stuck in our ways. I often wonder if people stop being curious because they are afraid of change.

I was never one for school. I am not an academic. However… I never want to stop learning. I find myself zooming out, Google Earth style, from a situation and asking “why”. Seeing the big picture helps me figure out the answer. It helps me see around every corner.

If you knew what was waiting around the corner, you might stand perfectly still… but even then, someone might spit on you.
