Hurdles
Writing and publishing blog posts are always fun for me but I have some hurdles to overcome. To convert plain text into HTML is one of the hurdles.
WordPress can handle it with a built-in WYSIWYG editor or helper buttons but I need some extra actions to re-format my text. I just wanna focus on writing.
To use Markdown is an option if you’re familiar with it. I’m a big fan of Markdown and I always choose it if I have that option on web apps. So I decided to find a way to handle Markdown even on WordPress.

When the first time I heard about the strange name ifttt (If This Then That) and the concept, I just thought it was an automated backup service with simple UI. But after a while, I signed up and played with it then loved it very much.

As you may know, it’s obviously important to focus on single task at a time if you try the GTD way. But it’s not easy to implement the concept in our real life. We now have too many projects, tasks, things need to consider. How can we handle it?

WordPress is getting into a true publishing platform. It’s not just a content management system. They finally started to improve writing experience on the platform with the new awesome feature called Fullscreen mode. The feature was known as Distraction-Free mode or Zen mode.
Once you got into the fullscreen mode by clicking a fullscreen button on a toolbar of ‘Add New Post’ page, you can see what it is and how the mode improve your writing experience.
Here are some screen photos of my admin pages.
Of course not only the feature. According to Matt the author of WordPress, WordPress 3.2 is faster and lighter than before. And I can feel it since I updated.
If you own WordPress sites on your server, it’s a good time to update.
I’m trying to take notes to track what I’m going to do to help myself and my team in some way.
Personally, I always took notes by myself since a few years ago in some emacs based notes or Google docs. Then I thought I should try the same kind of thing in public space if I wanna get more productive feedbacks or good effects especially in the social media era.
The problem is here. Which is the best way to do it? Just start an another blog? Or do it on some my sub/experimental blogs like Posterous etc? To use Facebook status or Twitter are also an option.
I’m still thinking about it but I just started to use Tumblr as the logging place. I may choose another one in near future but will share what I thought if I change the way.
If I have choices to start something, I’d choose an open option.
