I’ve been a busy little bee working to get my “About me” page up and running the last couple of days. I’ll undoubtedly be making changes from time to time, but it’s starting to look like a real website LOL. I only have the gallery page and store to get through before the site is fully functional!

On another note: Tonight is the member meeting for Oak Leaf Artist Guild, (I joined a couple months ago, and I’m trying to help them update their website) and I wanted to have some samples of existing websites and some new designs to show the other members; but I’m not ready.

I’m a type E (for eccentric) procrastinator: I get all encompassingly focused and obsessed at the start, but towards the end of a project the spark dwindles along with my enthusiasm. As the deadline approaches, I’m nearly complete, but end up scrambling around at the last minute to finish.

I’ve designed a few websites for myself, but none that didn’t need help from my husband or a web-builder program to build and maintain. A while back my husband encouraged me to read a book on html, though I must confess that my retention of the information is not great. It was completely foreign to me, and still is, but I’m learning.

This weekend I learned about CSS stylesheets in respect to building this site. Thanks in part to my husband and a great feature of Firefox (the greatest web browser ever) I was able to do a lot of the CSS code editing to create this journal page. I feel very accomplished, and am eager to learn more.

As my first official post I want to thank my wonderful husband Jesse for his help setting up this site; it was his inspired idea to link my artist journal and website.
