I had this fpr breakfast. And lunch. And right now *yum*. I'm celebrating my computer parts arriving this evening. I'm celebrating the possibility of tons of fanart and icons. I just hope I can make some time before DECEMBER!!! OMG, all my time is planned away.

Anyways, all materials are my own, except the muffin. ;)

I've been trying to revamp my webpages and am having a really hard time. With everything! With the sorting, with the structure, with the content. What to put on it. How to make it accessible. I'd love to have an interchangeable stylesheet like www.csszengarden.com. But that is basically as far as I am. I want updating to be simple, too. So I thought maybe just one structure for all sections (fanart, icons...).

Then I had this gallery idea. I'd love to integrate searchable tags as well, but I'm not sure how to do this for a website. There is also the question of a merge of my fannish pages and my professional portfolio. Anyways, ideas would be very very welcome. What would you like..and what would you like to see.

Mmmmmm muffins. They look good and yummy.

As for your webpages, I feel your pain as I am in the process of revamping colordrop myself and I don't know what to do either. I think the most important thing in a website is a clear, logical and easy-to-navigate structure as it usually gets tiring very quickly when you're being thrown from one page to another without really getting anywhere.

And I admire you for your bravery if you want to have an icon section - I don't think I'll ever have one considering how many I've done - because it's so demanding, time consuming, complicated, etc. For icons, a tag navigation would be good indeed.

Otherwise, if it were me, I'd keep the professional and fannish separate. You can always include a link somewhere - create a sort of link loop - but I wouldn't merge the two.

Yes, I totally agree about structure! It needs to be clear where you are and how you got there.

And I have an icon site now! Not totally up-to-date, but it is there. It's just not done in a way that it's easy to update, so right now..it isn 't useful. And besides, I learned so much at work, it would be a shame not to use it!

Sometimes I wonder if maybe the lj is enough, but I don't like having just that!

and I guess the issue with the portolio is the digital art... it sort of belongs in both!

[elli.livejournal.com]

*grins*

you want to muffinize your icon?

[iamalreadyinuse.livejournal.com]

Such cool art. Very Warhol-esque when presented all together like that.

GAH I WISH I MADE TEXTURES LIKE YOU! lol

[elli.livejournal.com]

I noticed that too. The warhol like quality. Fact is, I figured..if I cannot decide. Take all!!

And you CAN!!! Besides... this is why I share them all!

[sadiethenymph.livejournal.com]

You are teh awesome. That muffin thing is so funky.

I am scheduling a photoshoot after the holidays, early 2007, for my book cover. I automatically thought about you for the digital art and was wondering how much it would cost. If you want to throw around some ideas, let me know. I'm on AIM and MSN and you always have my email :)

I also have a book of poetry I want to self-publish if you're interested in doing the artwork for that. I will pay you :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thank you hon!!!!
And I'd love to do stuff for you :) I won't have much tiem to work on it until mid decemeber though, is that alright?

[kalena-henden.livejournal.com]

[elli.livejournal.com]

soooweeee...

[meivocis.livejournal.com]

Oooo, pretty AND yummy! Love the colours... I would so buy it as a print.

And I'm useless when it comes to webby stuff. I'm trying to get three sites off the ground and I'm sure the finished products will be less than pleasing.

[elli.livejournal.com]

*g* this reminds me that I want to scott hanson print. Badly! But actually I want the canvas one.. and omg.so expensive!!!!!

And what sites? Tell me *g* The new piccies one?
and I bet not :) I loved the old image site.
