			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">As a back-end developer, I struggle with front-end design. I have a number of separate websites that I would like to combine, but they are all different in design and purpose. Perhaps they shouldn&#8217;t be together, but, at the same time, I need to compile my work for a portfolio.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://helloworld.bensonchu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/building_a_home.jpg"><img class=" " style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="Mai Chau Trip 2008" src="http://helloworld.bensonchu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/building_a_home.jpg" alt="Building a home" width="500" height="309" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A trip to Mai Chau in 2008 with the A4 class.</p></div>
<p>Ideally, I would like to create my own design and pull my other projects in. Deciding which domain to use seems to be the first hurdle for me to overcome. I have three that I really like, but I should be rational and use bensonchu.com. Why not? I have a pet project that never got off the ground. It still lingers in my mind and, like all pet projects, no one ever wants to see it fizz out.</p>
<p>The logical thing to do is to redesign bensonchu.com. The other site is just not ready.</p>
<p>Simple. Decision made.</p>
<p>Now for the hard part- the look.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see how long this takes.</p>
