WordPress is Crazy

This blogging thing, along with Mr. Resistance, is having it’s way with me.

The other day I read Steven Pressfield’s post that said when Resistance shows up, the Dream is around the corner. Well, he is in my face and looms so large that I can barely peek around his huge frame to see the Dream hiding behind him.

Yes, it’s that big. So, I assume that’s the road I need to take. Except I can’t figure out how to get there.

This WordPress thing is taking too much time, energy, and patience. How much information can I cram into my brain, process, and use?

It’s almost impossible. People tout WordPress as THE platform to use. Yes, it’s pretty, but it’s exhausting. The learning curve is too much. Between learning how to navigate this thing, themes, plug-ins, email sign-up forms, galleries, SEO, blahblahblah, I can’t.

Am I finally ready to throw my hands up in the air and give it over to someone who knows what they’re doing? Meaning, pay someone? Maybe not. There’s gotta be a trick to this, a puzzle I need to solve myself. If other people can do it, why not me? Ok, so it’s going to take me a little longer to figure it out I guess.

Yeah, Mr. Resistance will devise this new way to keep me from painting while I fool around with this website stuff.

Honestly, this is getting ridiculous.

As a fine artist, I paint, knit, and make jewelry, to figure it all out.
