Late last night I began a process that has been long overdue: remaking playwithyourmind.com.  For the past year it has been in a state of disarray as I have been more or less ignoring it.  There are games that aren’t working properly,  the registration process somehow collapsed and the look of the site is way out-of-date.  Because of these various problems, I have all-but-ceased promoting the site, and as a consequence, my traffic has been diminishing and interest in the site generally declining.  It’s time to reverse this trend and return the site to prominence.

I know I had mentioned that I was going to make the bdq advergame first, but I eventually decided that I wanted to have a better product to offer before I started doing marketing and promotion – which is basically what the advergame is all about.  While this move wont bring me as much immediate income, I think it represents  a better long-term investment of my time.  I mean, I have what is potentially a very valuable collection of assets – over a hundred brain games and exercises – that are more or less going to waste.  So I figure before I move on, I should solidify what I already have so all that the efforts I have already made begin to pay off.

In order to make this happen as fast as possible, I am updating the site live rather than designing it offline and updating it all at once.  For one, this is much easier for me to do, and secondly it will make the process much faster as I will be eager to fill in the holes and get the site all working again.  Doing everything offline, I would be more susceptible to delays or distractions as there would not be the same pressing need to complete things.

Ok, off to work.  Unfortunately, I am going away for a day+ this afternoon so not much will happen again until sunday, but I expect to do an awful lot in the next week once I settle back in.  I’m so excited to get things going again….. and give some much-deserved love to my neglected child… and my neglected dreams.
