Having a personal yet professional website is similar to having chickenpox. You're always pick, pick, picking. It begins by replacing a word, perhaps it's been used already in that paragraph. Then you might delete a paragraph because it's just not necessary. After reading through the website once again, you might decide chickenpox is not enough, it's time for unraveling cloth. You know, when you find a string and you can't help but pull it until it's a big mess and you need a new cloth.

What began as a few slight changes to my website, an updating if you will, turned into almost completely new copy. This is a day-long endeavor and can be frustrating if unplanned for and it's 79 degrees outside with azure skies and a slight breeze. My attempt was to create a site that was short on copy and easy on the eyes and mind.

As anyone with a resume is well aware of, writing about yourself is difficult and uncomfortable. One doesn't want to come across less talented than they are but must not sound narcissistic, either. Imagine, instead of a professional resume, writing several paragraphs about how wonderful you are, not only because of your documented accomplishments in life, but because of your stunningly good looks, sensual body and sparkling personality? I can see why some escort sites are written in the third person.

While I realize updating is important I also know to stop picking and pulling when something is working. Why I am constantly changing and rearranging the copy on my site, I do not know. The fact is, I am quite pleased by the outcome and changes were not necessary. All I can say for sure is my site is heavier with copy than it was yesterday and my web designer is probably very happy I opted for the CMS program.

P.S. The groin is just dandy.
