Lest I go back on my new posting schedule, a new post is in order. I'm attempting, along with my blogging accountability partner and brother by blood, Tim, to adhere to a strict schedule of posting Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and once on the weekend. Eventually I'd like to move to every day like some of my esteemed colleagues, Rob Shep and B Mills, but I think small steps are necessary.
I have a fascination with web design; it's one of my periodic projects that will come and probably go. For the fast few months I have been working on developing and maintaining my own website, as I figured any self-respecting computer science major ought to have his own self-coded-from-scratch website, which is finally coming to fruition. While I won't do this for a living, and there are thousands, if not millions, more sites on the Internet to which my site can't light a candle, I find a certain fulfillment from learning how to code HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and CSS on my own, and using them to develop something creative and informative about myself. Of course, certain people close to me were contacted for consultation on color, layout, and ease of reading (mostly a certain girlfriend of mine - hey, she does this at work and they pay her for it so I might as well trust her judgement).
In case you haven't had a chance to look at my site, I highly suggest you take a look around. Now that I'm satisfied with my layout and design (for now), I will focus more on adding new content. I'm not quite sure at the moment what I would like to add besides reference material for my guitar pupils and information for potential employers and people curious about me. Of course, the number one rule of web development is that content is the reason people come to your site and stay, so I'm thinking very hard about how to generate a bit more traffic on my site by including some meaningful content. Whether it be music reviews, a showcase of my hobbies (guitar, music, photography), or just random links that I find funny or useful.
Any suggestions on content?

Thanks for the blog love.
I like the music review idea. You know a lot about music and you keep pretty up to date with new material. Perhaps you could do movie reviews as well (of course, you would be slightly copying the famous RobShep).
Music reviews would be appropriate for you. Or you could always devote it to describing how much you admire your younger brother....just a thought
