Should I really be posting things to a website like this while I’m still only just learning? Would it not be better to quietly practice in secret, offline, to get things just right, then burst on to the scene in a blaze of glory with the most whizz-bang website and all the bells and whistles to show off my skills?
Maybe so. That’s what I was thinking of doing, but the reality is that I learn best by doing, re-doing, refining and reflecting.
I can’t really learn how a blog, or indeed a website, works until I’ve got enough of a foundation to build upon, however shaky and unstable that may be.
My hope is that, as I get more experience and improve things, I can take the lessons and condense them down into concise, maybe even elegant, little references.
Unfortunately, for that to work, I need to learn the lessons first. And for that, I’m afraid I also need to make mistakes. So I’ve decided to give myself a break. I ask you to do the same.
To err is human. To forgive, divine.
