Think Wilder was launched one year ago on March 27, 2015. Since then, I have learned a lot about blogging, developing a regular writing practice, news cultivation, and more recently website design. It is with great pleasure that I announce a new design today!

For the past year, I have received feedback from many of you that it would be nice if it was easier to get around the site. First of all, thank you for the feedback and keep it coming! Although I have been tagging posts and placing them in categories, I realize that it has been difficult to find other pages on the site aside from stumbling upon those categorization options and the pagination available at the bottom of the site. There is now a sidebar on the right side of the site that will allow you to view popular posts, featured posts, and a list of categories. I plan to add more navigational capability in the future as well.

I have additional plans for Think Wilder that will be launching in the next few months. To those of you reading this post, thank you for your continued support and staying along while I learn how to make this project even better! As always, keep thinking wilder!

Hello y'all and welcome to Think Wilder. My name is David Wilder and I am a 28 year-old from Raleigh, North Carolina. I decided to start this blog as a way to express my thoughts and spread my message to the world.

Although I have not yet decided on the focus of this blog, my vision is that this will be a space for me to share my thoughts and exercise my voice on a variety of topics. My main interests include music, reading and writing, plant-based diets, fitness, meditation and yoga, psychoactive drugs, gardening, alternative economics, and self-development. My hope is that I will explore all of these topics and many more on Think Wilder.

I must admit upfront that I have abandoned a few blogs in the past, including a cigar review blog and a book review blog, but I am going to commit to publishing at least one blog post per week on Think Wilder. Hopefully I will continue to grow as a writer and a person while working on this blog, and would like to invite anyone who is interested to strap in and enjoy the ride with me.
