I also want to start a blog, which obviously has to be on the website, and that's one more reason to finally start the redesign.<\/p><p>I actually started last November. I had designed a new logo and started working on the website\u2014it even looked the way I wanted it to\u2014but then I made a wrong click and reset everything. After that, I was so demotivated and just didn't want to continue.<\/p><p>But now it's back to normal. I'm on vacation and have a bit more time for it than usual. And it's part of my new \"master plan.\" It's a bit odd to call it that, but the name seems quite fitting. I want to work more focused on my goal of illustrating a children's book someday. The website will serve as a portfolio, and the blog will serve as a kind of diary that will hopefully keep me on track.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a507c1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a507c1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why starting a blog?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f09fde elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f09fde\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A portfolio only contains finished illustrations, maybe a few character design sheets, but I don't have much \"finished\" work to present in a portfolio yet.

I started with a simple builder system, but the design limitations were too great for me. WordPress is also significantly cheaper than the builder systems I initially had with my provider, so I need to get more acquainted with it. WordPress doesn't work on its own; you have to install additional plugins, which you also have to get used to. I work a lot with YouTube tutorials. It's always the same because I don't do anything for a long time and then forget how everything works.<\/p><p>When I get worried that it might be too complicated for me, I remember that when I was 15, I taught myself how to code using HTML and created\u2014or rather, wrote\u2014a multi-page website using only the text editor \"Notepad.\" Then 34-year-old Christian will probably be able to do it too. Admittedly, my 15-year-old self didn't have as much other knowledge in mind, plus all the worries and responsibilities surrounding family, household, and work... but still! Just because a task is complex has never stopped me from tackling it anyway.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39d4147 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"39d4147\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to start?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c52d2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c52d2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I started with a tiny brainstorming session on my iPad in Freeform.
