Categories: Site Update

The shop pages anyway. It is a bit of a mess, but in the end I decided it was better to have it up and imperfect than to not have it all. So I imported some of the pages from an old back up. I’ll have to go through and fix them one by one, that might be easier than starting from scratch.

I also added a Press File.

I also added a Logo Portfolio. I haven’t had a lot of practice at logos but a found a few I’ve made I think are quite nice.

Little by little the site is starting come together, as I sort through everything from the old site and all my new ideas. It will never be done, but it will be less untidy.

This one has options and boxes and all kinds of stuff I can move around and mess up! Should keep me from getting bored for a few months at least, maybe. I was just tired of looking at the other one. It does have nice built in menus so I don’t have to mess with that. Now maybe I can get some other work done.

My “To Do” list doesn’t seem to get any shorter though.

I finally couldn’t take the background that came with the theme any longer so I managed to get that updated last night. It will most likely change again (knowing me several times) but at least it no longer has that horrid weird greenish cast to it.

I’ve been plugging away at getting my category and sub-category pages set up. I believe I have the “Pretty Scribbles” frame work in place.

I’ve been updating so older artwork as I go, because well some of my early work just isn’t so great. We learn we grow our artwork improves.

I can’t believe my school starts up in a mere two weeks. How time flies. I’ve been battling a bought of depression all summer. Honestly, I don’t know whether going back to school will help or hurt. Really nothing to do but keep going, the root of the problem isn’t in my power to change, so I’ll have to find a way to adapt.

So today, I will organize and prioritize my “To Do” list for around here. Then I’ll try to get to work on what I can do from work. I will try to stay off Facebook it’s distractions.

I got a few things set up around here today!

If you scroll the bottom of the page, in my footer you will see the standard notations about what is running this fair site powered by Worpress and links to the template author. Also links to our “privacy policy” and “terms of use.” Just like a real website and everything.

I’m not sure what difference it makes really, but it does feel more serious with them in place. I’d have to have some actual traffic for their to be an issue with either, just trying to think ahead.

It’s been a bit of a struggle, and I’ve wanted toss the whole thing on the floor and jump and down on it a few times, but I finally have a template set up with all the plug-ins I want and everything displaying correctly in IE and FF (more or less). Needs some tweaking but I can do that easy enough with the CSS.

Yesterday I was ready to give up and start again. Glad I didn’t.

I am happy! Also Relieved! And ready to get on with adding some awesome content to my site and to some fantastic artwork to my product selection!

I’ve worked hard and stressed and fussed with this darned site all week, I’m going to play for a bit now!
