Lack of inspiration, yet again

I have a serious lack of inspiration all around. A few weeks ago, I needed to redo my stepdad’s taxidermy website, but I just couldn’t come up with a layout. And then it took me days to finally come up with an idea for the redesign of this website and now I’m onto my mom’s site. She’s a college professor and I’ve been doing her website for…maybe seven years. I remember the first layout I used on it was from Layout Land (or something like that). Seriously, I was like ten. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this stuff since then. It’s incredible.

Her university has this great new logo since they changed their name a few years ago and they’re very anal about its usage. You can’t edit/reproduce it in any way and you can’t resize it. WTF. I had this cute idea to use my mom’s name in place of the university’s name with the star in between, but apparently, I can’t do that. So there went my idea. Besides that, I didn’t know what else to do. So I went and played Nintendo 64 (seriously, I played Mario Kart) and then when I came back I had some ideas. So that’s what I’m working on now, although of course I’m procrastinating.

On a different note, I’m not sure the newest version of Wordpress is necessary for personal blogs like mine. I don’t use tags at all. I really don’t understand the need for tags when there’s already categories. I like categories better anyway, because I’d have way too many different tags. For That College Kid, I use tags, but only for my SEO. I still don’t entirely get all that I’m supposed to do about that. I’m getting visitors and making a little bit of money so that’s all I really care about.
