Ok well I came on here to post about my workout, which I may still get to, put I am getting sidetracked. I looked at my blog and thought the same thing I do everytime I look at it. It sucks. Its boring, the same as most other WordPress blogs and doesn’t really say that much about me. I want to redo it.

I figured I should start small, like everything else in my life that I am going to try to do. More on that in my workout post. I deleted a lot of the plugins that haven’t been enabled in a long time, and then took a look at the ones that are enabled.

I realize that my blog isn’t going to make money. Its my personal blog. Even if it someday becomes huge, I could always start a commercial blog to make money off of. No, I want to keep this blog personal. No ads. No advertising (unless its for one of my projects). Just simpleness about me and what I want to write about. Knowing this, I immediately disabled and deleted my Adsense plugin.

Since I don’t want to make money off my blog and I want to keep it personal, I don’t care how many people visit it or who visits it. I don’t need analytics on the site. Thats another plugin that can get removed. A bonus side-effect of removing the tracking pluging and Google Analytics code is that my site now loads slightly faster.

Trying to get the site to load faster, I have also removed Feedburner stuff since I have to do something with that account anyway. Something is loading jQuery and I have no idea what. While I use jQuery and know it, I don’t think I need it on the site right now since I don’t have anything doing anything fancy. Will have to look into that later.

My goal is to get a basic theme up by the end of the month to make this look better.
