I have worked my butt to the bone 12 to 16 hrs each day, 6 to 7 days every week, for the past 5 months in this effort at web development education that I am engaged with. I eat all of my meals in front of this computer and at least half of what little sleep I experience these days is also here at the computer. I have established two different WordPress Blog Sites, one back in mid December that I both blogged on and used as a rubberized romper room for bouncing canonballs of code around in... until it destabilized and crashed on me about a month ago.

This was a common occurance through the first couple of months of my training, crack'in eggs so that I could bake more cakes, I trashed 6 or 7 sites in this manner, but that first WordPress Blog was my last crash and it was the only one that bothered me. It was the first one that contained anything of real value, my blogging began from what I felt to be necessity, it was not only beneficial to my education to place my activities into words, (visualizing and structuring thoughts into meaningful expression imprints the process) I also began to wonder if I might be able to assist someone through a similar effort?

I did not understand the value of that content until later, its seems to have come upon me in a similar manner to the growth process of constructing it, beginning slowly at first and expanding in form and substance as time passed. I probably had 5 or 6 maybe 7 weeks worth of progress acummulated in that site and it represented what I now consider as the infancy of my development, (though I am yet still a toddler). This was my first lesson in the value of created works, regardless of the quality, (which I cannot judge for myself) I cannot recover something I authored and submitted to the public for their approval or disdain depending on the view, it is lost and I do feel it, very unusual! More imprtantly it represents information and resource links that need to be included in the free student developer library I am trying to establish.

I now back up everything!!! My second WordPress Blog has been up for at least a month, I think, and I not only back the site in total to my local .db, I also back it on the server and duplicate every post immediately after initial publication on my Blogger blogsite and that duplicate is backed up by Google, I also run an RSS feed into FeedBurner that is backed as well. Recently I have established myself with livejournal, Hubpages and Weibo which will give me much broader exposure. I just hope someone can benefit from my experience in this process, there is still 'MUCH' work to be done and it is painfully slow considering my studies and hopeful employment status must come before the libraries expansion, it is at a virtual stand still at present. Anyone is welcome to drop in and lend a hand, the door is always open.

Well thats my claim for the blogger badge @Mozilla, I hope to further my education here and maybe even my reputation, who knows? Take Care!
