My favorite teacher of all time was a kind, sweet lady named Nancy McBride. She had a love for science and Dr. Pepper, but also taught me the importance of journaling and creative writing. My classmates and I would fill dozens of Steno notepads with our thoughts, dreams, and documentation of our travels. For whatever reason as I grew older, this was an ability I never lost but would always stray away from.
Recently, I have been dabbling in various blogging tools and content management systems and have come to the following conclusion: I will use WordPress for my own creativity and save Joomla for more professional sites that I will develop. With all due respect to WordPress and its development community, it’s a tool that makes me excited for writing again, the way I felt when I was 11 years old. Joomla, on the other hand, has the intricacies of Business 101 (laugh it up) from my Freshman year at ENMU. I love the extensibility of Joomla, but it does nothing to inspire me!
Now that I have established my views on blogging software and CMS solutions, I find myself thirsty for a nice cold Dr. Pepper. Here’s to being a more creative writer and hopefully a more active blogger! Cheers, Mrs. McBride!
