An update on where I am with redesign my blog’s theme.

I ran across a post in 2014 where the writer documented his web development toolbox. I loved the idea, so I’ve documented my toolbox here.

It’s important to me to keep a clear separation from the work I do for the government and the work I do on my own.

As I’ve (slowly) began writing again, I documented my workflow for planning content, writing it and ultimately posting it.

Check out the perfect sketch pad for me to take pencil to paper as I ideate on designs for brettro.com

Documenting the content management systems I’ve used over the years.

After 12 years in business I closed Brettrospective Media’s virtual doors in mid-2017.

As I rekindled my blog I realized its custom theme hadn’t been touched in nearly seven years so as I design and develop the new one I plan to document my decisions and the things I learn here.

With an already demanding full-time job, I was burning the candle at both ends trying to meet the needs of my clients and the demands of my job and in early 2013 I burnt out.
