I really wanted to start this site off with a really great design that I created myself. The problem is, that while I know the mechanics of theme development, the design part gets me every time. When Performancing.com posted their latest theme, which I found to be pleasing, I decided that I’d rather spend my time writing rather than fussing over a design that I would never be able to get “quite right.” I’m not a designer, I don’t really want to be a designer. This site will, eventually, get a facelift. Until then, I much prefer the backend work of incorporating functionality to WordPress driven websites. I can’t say that I’ve coded plugins but I have “tweaked” quite a few. Mostly, though, I am a hunter. I enjoy the challenge of going and finding an existing solution to a specific need or problem. If I have to tweak a solution a bit to fit my needs then I do that.
This brings me to the point of this site. I intend for DaisyOlsen.com to be a place where I post things that I find interesting and relevant to my intended goal of turning WordPress consulting into a profession. This might include WordPress news, short tutorials based on my current work, and general musings about the WordPress community. Non WordPress related items may show up from time to time. I often do other project based work involving a variety of desktop applications, mostly of the Microsoft Office variety. I know that I would not be able to do the work that I do if it were not for the generous writings of other bloggers. I hope that I will be able to do my share to document tips and tricks as I happen across them in my daily work.
