About My Notes

Notes are snippets of information that add content to other pages; as such, they have been set to “noindex” for search engines. That said, I have created this page to display all of my notes in one place. This page is indexable via Google. Therefore, each note may eventually end up with Google but will promote this page, not the individual note. My notes work in the same way as my diary entries.

David’s Notes

I Need to Write More in my Diary!

It’s been two months. Two months since I last visited this website, two months since I posted anything. Yet earlier in the year—I am sure I mentioned this, though I can’t find where I had written it—I mentioned writing more often and learning my diary writing style*.

*I have now found where I had written it; it wasn’t quite what I remembered. What I actually said was:

David’s Diary is made of snippets of my life. My 2023 Diary is a test—helping me find my voice—and by 2024, I hope to have my “way” sorted. But what is a diary?

And it can be found on my Diary page! However, I cannot find the piece that mentions writing more often. So, I must address this.

There are many reasons for neglecting David’s Day. But the main reason is working on a new cruise website of mine called Cruisez. I’ve been so focused on that project that I have forgotten this blog—perhaps neglected is the right word choice. So, I am now making a conscious decision: I will TRY and do regular entries. When time permits, I will also try to create some diary entries retrospectively.

I have updated the “David’s Day: To Do List” task.

The additions include adding a new section to the home page to be used as a Whiteboard. This could be achieved using a new custom post type with custom taxonomies. These can be pulled through via shortcodes. And change the diary entries from noindex to index—we are talking SEO here—and link to the individual diary entries. Previously, these formed part of a page and not stand-alone posts. David’s Day: To-Do List

Change How Tasks Appear on the Home Page

In my original design for Bulleted—now David’s Day—I would have the list of open tasks in a prominent position on the home page. For some reason, I don’t have this. Instead, tasks are listed towards the bottom of the page. So, I need to find a way of reorganising the home page to make this work.

Working on the Look and Feel of David’s Day

For the last couple of days, I have been working on the look and feel of this site. Bearing in mind, it is predominately a text-based thing. With that, there isn’t a great deal to do styling-wise. However, I should create a web design task to keep track of the changes.
