I'm going to give this thing a revamp if it kills me. Just read a very nice guide on how to make a not-ugly-blog and it's kind of pointing a big finger at me saying "just redo it already!"
Problem is, I can't really decide what theme to go with next. I'd like to keep it a little dark, but, I don't know. I also would like to keep the purple in place, but I want it to be tasteful, not *too* searing, and readable. Is this readable?
The header HAS to go, thinking I may take some of the photo paper I use sometimes and make a header out of that.
In other news I finally wrote up the specs for the zine I want to do, it's still open participation, still encouraging queer contributors/content, still haunted-themed. I just need to make sure the other person helping put it together agrees with the guidelines, and I'll post it. I'm still looking for a cover. May do the whole photo paper thing again, paint a ghost on...I'm not sure. I'll think on that for a while. May also ask a friend who paints cool ghosts who was planning to contribute if she'd like to make or otherwise provide a piece for a cover.
We shall see!
I still want to do all the things I've been doing or well...trying to do. that is, the inspirational sunday, feature friday. I want to start doing some fashion posts too. I realized recently that just because my high school scared me away from my body and made me think I was awkward and therefore unsuitable for being a photography model for *anything* or doing any hobby acting...doesn't mean it's at all true. I'd like to start getting into photographing outfits I coordinate again, as I did this for a little while to cheer myself up last fall on a fairly regular basis. I put a lot into myself and my appearance and shouldn't cut myself short. May also post the occasional thing about living with an autistic spectrum disorder/condition as I've had to make some choices about my diet lately in order to cope better with my symptoms. Not enough people, I've seen, come out of the woodwork casually and speak about having autism like it's not some sort of awful curse unless it's an autistic-specific blog, website, etc. and that's kind of sad. I could provide my own insight as people like me are probably out there wishing more artists and cool people were opening up about coping and day-to-day life.
Now onto Merri's new ref.
