Blog Update


Well as you can see i made a few changes to my blog.
I was in the mood so i updated the graphics to be inline with the website revamp. I had a really cute background image for the sidebar which looks great but i cant get to show up so you will just have to make do.

Anyway just wanted to say any problems with the design let me know always looking for feedback.

While i was here i just thought i would post this one i found in my portfolio folder. It was pen and ink one i did going on 10 years ago now. It reminds me of the trees i have been doing. they are great fun :)

Belinda, I like the new look. Can I ask you a question? Why is your "about me" section so far down the page? (I'm not saying it's good or bad that way, I'm just saying it is unusual.)

Hi Rose,
I haven't settled on the sidebar layout just yet :) So still thinking about that and what to include there. My analogy behind is is that the links, subscribe etc are all of the readers "tools" if you like, things that are usable/ changing you are likely to look at more than once ... about me is just what i call "fluff" if you have read it once you would likely read it again ... reguarl readers dont have to read it each time hence has been all the way down the bottom... its not necessarily right way to do things but that was my original thinking :)

edit: "wouldnt" likely read it again rather :) sorry about the typo in that last comment.

Thanks Belinda, that's interesting. I'm such a scanner when it comes to stuff like that, I hardly even look at the sidebar. I'm tempted to think that the "about me" stuff, although as you say it's read only once, helps to personalize your blog and thus makes it more memorable. I read lots of articles online, but don't remember who wrote them later - unless there's a friendly bit that makes the author seem like a friend. Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud...seems like everyone is updating their blog these days :-)

Thats probably true Rose, and likely better reasoning than the one i had. Actually now you have made me think about .. a better way to do it is just to have a very short blurb up the top rather than the long one i have :) which was what i was going to get to today i hope :) ...
