Well, just a little over a hundred days left until "project deadline"...and I have a bad feeling that it's really just a little over a hundred days until the Zoikes!! counter starts ticking off all the days since the "deadline"...!

Hence this blog entry: my ambitions for this site outpace my current technical expertise (damned Drupal documentation!!) and so though an "official" launch is still scheduled for my birthday, site maturation will be a long time yet.

Zemanta is a widget that offers bloggers context-sensitive advice on...well, I guess you could say on what more to blog about and how!

I've just thought of something to make this site even more useful. An online scheduler!

Okay, so there are lots of them around already. But hey, this one will be totally free, and specifically targeted for fitness trainers and facilities operators, so why not?

I don't envision Scheduler.WorkoutABC.com competing with anything like MindBody Online. But I do see it as a viable alternative for trainers' personal use, and it will be robust enough that even small facilities could benefit. Why pay all that money for a simple daily planner on your computer?

I've had three full months' experience with Site Build It! (SBI!) at the beginning of this year and now I am on my second month of Drupal. I feel I can adequately and fairly review each Content Management System (CMS) as a newbie webmaster who has no programming experience and only very limited scripting experience.

I'm a gym rat. Even before becoming a trainer and spending all day at the gym, I was already there almost every day for at least an hour working out. The sweat and strain of guys and gals willing themselves to physical perfection is a wonderfully inspirational experience. The devotion. The sacrifice. The gym was a temple, and working out was worship.

I hate gym pigs.

They are blasphemers.

By their callousness, their thoughtlessness, they negate all it really means to be at the gym working out.

Okay, enough complaining about Drupal's steep learning curve. How about some good news for a change?

Drupal modules.

Like I'd said, Craig's List is an indispensable resource for Personal Trainers -- namely, those not particularly tied to a gym or studio. The fitness industry is just awesome: Exhibit B in an on-going blog series documenting the outrageous opportunities that exist...a really personal Personal Trainer!

The evidence is purely anecdotal, but a great many women seem to very much prefer male trainers. So much so that it's said some even insist on a male trainer, and are actually lost as prospective customers on that simple account!
