This week, I raced like crazy to get the main Softduit.com site rebooted.  After making a major break through in some coding areas that were holding me back, specifically, creating dynamic css menus driven off of a WordPress MySQL database, I then had to actually get the content transitioned to the new site.

I had all of the content transferred by Thursday, with the primary transfer finished on Tuesday (the really important stuff).

Then Friday I spent much of the day setting up 301 redirects in my .htaccess file so that the search engines and anyone that has linked to various pages on my site over the years will not get lost.

That was a whole lot of work!

Now, I’m going through the process of updating the site with a number of graphic elements to reinforce the message on the site.  I’m primarily focusing on the use of MindManager mixed with SnagIt to generate a mindmap image and then convert that image into a flash image with hover over buttons for navigation.

The two programs don’t really work terribly well together (they don’t fight, but they don’t cooperate either).  So anytime I make an update in the mindmap I have to completely start over again in Snagit with the hotspot links. 

That means that I have to have my mindmap as perfect as possible before I start the hotspot linking process in snagit.  In the meantime, my metabolism has dropped down almost next to nothing, because I’ve been working around the clock and not getting enough exercise (not running or doing ellipticals, but I have gotten a little swimming in since I work on a dock and only have to jump off to cool off).
