So, it has been a couple of weeks since I visited this blue website, and I realized that there needs to be some reorganizations to get this website back into shape.
One of the problems I see is the lack of principle. DS NETS is a website of mine that focuses on current events and news commentary. View Focus aims to provide a platform for all types of opinionated discussion. Then, what is Day Mind XPression?
I remember creating this site to get into the blogging fever bandwagon. It really did not have a specific purpose in terms of content orientation, but nevertheless I treated like an open repository of things. It could be writings, such as a short story or poetry, pictures, and moving pictures (Another fancy way of saying "movies"). If there was a principle of creating the site, then it had to be allowing myself "space" to express my innate artistic self. I think I wanted to create a personal online artistic magazine back then....
But the website started to get a little mushy. Without legitimate reason, I began adding a lot of tangential content that had less to do with expressing my innate self and more to do with featuring external content with an addition of my small critique of mine. I think this destructive trend began with the intention of creating online content for the sole purpose of getting short term burst traffic. I began losing my original voice, and Day Mind XPression started to lose its shine.
So, we have this nicely templated website that lost its identity, and I have decided to bring it back to light. It will be a slow process, because I manage two other websites. But I am going to invest some free time during off work hours in getting ride of stale contents and reorganizing the categories, so that I can put this site back on track. In the end, you will see a moderately updated website, full of artistic and expressive elements.
