Still struggling to find my groove...

I am a few weeks into my current course at Lamar University and the main focus of this course is to build our ePortfolio. After we start this, we will be able to build on it throughout our program as well as after graduation. The ePortfolio will serve as a way to reflect, express, collaborate, and more within my field. I think the reason I'm struggling to get through this class with the required material is I keep second guessing myself.

I've been struggling for months to decide which platform I want to use for my ePortfolio. I was informed early on that the platform I'm used to, Google Sites, is not ideal due to the fact that embedding a blog within in Google Sites is not as easy or useful as other platforms. So, I started with Wix. It was free and while I'm still struggling to make it look how I want, it is easier for me to use than WordPress. However, these past few weeks I've felt as though if I'm going to "bite the bullet" and purchase a platform that I should go with WordPress now before I build the site too much. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent, or maybe wasted, on trying to determine if I should stay with Wix or move to WordPress. For the time being, I have decided to stay with Wix. I don't know if I want to commit the money to WordPress at this time.

I have also been struggling with finding the time to write 2-4 blog posts a week. Part of that struggle the past two weeks has been due to being out of town for one week and being insanely busy with work this past week. Things should now settle down to a normal pace for me, so maybe I can get to the 2-4 blog posts a week easily. However, I struggle with that requirement. I do not anticipate continuing a 2-4 blog posts a week schedule. In addition, I don't want to post just for the sake of posting. I want my posts to be meaningful and useful to me. I have found that reflection blog posts are helpful to me which is how we have ended up on this one. Maybe I need to stop thinking that my school life is separate from the rest of my life. If I remember that my education and my work mingle together maybe I will find things to post about easier.
