Moving Back to WordPress

Moving Back to WordPress

I’ve decided to switch back to posting on WordPress. For the last year-ish, I’ve been posting on my Github page: https://kreswell.github.io.

I don’t need to get into all the reasons why I moved my blog to Github and why I’m moving back. Long story short, I thought a Github page would be easier to use to make the content I wanted, but it turned out to be more complicated.

New plan.

I’m going to set a daily word goal, and try to hit that goal every day.

Earlier this week, my FitBit broke. I’ve ordered another one, but it hasn’t arrived yet. Being without it for a few days has made me realize how motivating that 10,000-step goal is. I’d get home from work and realize I’d only taken about 3,000 steps. “Well, time to go to the gym!” I’d think to myself.
