Wrong Direction

I’ve changed my mind again.  In my most recent post I said “my hope is to convert this blog into a marketplace for all the Zanny Rants notecards, in addition to being a place to share thoughts, opinions and ideas.” Wrong, just wrong. It’s not the direction I want to go at all. I now realize spending the time and energy to develop this website into an e-commerce site is just silly, but more importantly, that would completely defeat the original intent of the site and I’m not going to do it.

So, now what? Well……..here’s my thought tonight, and I actually believe I’ll stick with this one. It’s really what the goal was in the very beginning of this entire year long process. Just as the name implies…….rants! Daily rants. About anything and everything. Just because I can. And want to. It doesn’t matter if anyone reads the posts or not. I paid for the domain name, and the hosting, and what the hell. It can be whatever I want it to be. If nothing more than a place to express my thoughts, concerns, observations and daily frustrations/triumphs, then so be it. Hopefully, what I have to say will touch someone else, perhaps inspire (or at least encourage) another to share their experiences, as well. Afterall, we are all teachers and students simultaneously. Of course I hope others will engage, will offer their insights and experiences to the “comments” section, but…..if not, well, ok then. I’ll just pretend.

So off I go in the original direction I intended. Feels good. I like it. (Prostitution comes in many forms, you know!) I may still do an e-commerce site for the notecards, but it’ll be a new site. Not this one. This one feels somewhat sacred to me, not to be diluted. Nothing but rants and raves, sharing my stories and experiences, feelings, hopes, dreams and yes, fears.
