Redesigning Turtlistmedia.com
Also during the summer Serena Wu of Mymomisafob.com helped me convert turtlistmedia.com to WordPress software, which significantly reduces the time it takes to put up features. I love it, but along with my journalism training with the AF, I’ve also decided to rewrite all of the old articles. This has taken more time than I had planned (doh!). This summer Turtlist Media also saw the coming together of a guerrila board of passionate friends from all over the country doing their own features on Asian American aritsts in their areas. I’m finding though that many of these people are so talented that their time is spent doing other things for the community as well. Thus, it has been rather difficult to get things rolling. I regret not putting more time into the site this past year as in fact, the site has shrunk significantly in content. This has been a learning experience though as I find that one of my weaknesses is getting stuff done too slowly. I believe it to come from a combination of my perfectionist attitude towards media work (especially video work) and putting my time into too many things. Thus, while on paper it seems like I am doing a lot, I often feel as though I’m constantly letting people down by taking so long to get things done.
