Reboot?

I created my dotcom a couple of years ago as a project to teach myself how to make a simple, yet effective website

However at the time, I was pretty unhappy at my job, so it was also a diversion to take my mind off things - I kept it up for a few months, but then I got made redundant at the end of March 2010

I haven't touched the site or my blog ever since...and here we are, a year and a half later, and my URL is up for renewal (or I could let it lapse)

So I have to come to a decision...do I keep the site up (even though I've lost interest in changing it any further), take it down, or change it???

I have another site – markcastrogarcia.co.uk – which is also about to lapse...this was my online cv/portfolio (or supposed to be) but I never finished it (I'm good at that!)

After I got made redundant, I went freelance and have been SOOOOO busy ever since, that I haven't had the time or the energy to play around with websites (barely had time to look at my portfolio, but have managed it once or twice)...after a year, I became a sole trader (trading as yewhew)...and my business bank account is in the name yewhew as well...

Maybe I should keep the yewhew.com for my professional site, and do what I never finished with my markcastrogarcia.co.uk site (far quicker for people to type yewhew.com as well!)

But I wonder if I will keep the yewhew.com site as it is, and make my personal bit a sub-site of it, or vice versa...

Either way, I don't think I'll keep blogging about it...I feel I've got the site out of my system, and beat the crisis of confidence I felt when I was an unhappy full-time employee

On the other hand, I may start blogging about my freelancing, as I am very into it (almost obsessive) as you kinda need to be, to keep the momentum going and motivate oneself
