Well, we meet again and it's definitely been a while since we've had the opportunity to wallow in each other's company old blogging friend. I cannot say I've missed you so but with recent events, you've crossed my mind and here I am writing all over again.
The other night a bunch of people and I went to Nashville to see the Cobra Starship show and after the show Gabe mentioned reading my blog which completely freaked me out because I thought he was referring to this one (which is how I even remembered this thing). He was referring to ThisYearsParty.com, however he found it, I'm not sure but that is another story entirely.
I started up on a new layout for the website which has been harboring in my mind for the longest time. I drew it out a few weeks ago but it kept getting altered in my mind and if I knew I didn't do it now, it would have become more of a mess than I could ever imagine. Anyway, I realized overly done graphics don't make the website unless it's a graphic portfolio or some sort, which my website is definitely not so I was realizing the simpler you make it, the more appealing it is to the visitors. No matter how plain it may seem. It catches the eyes of the audiences because you pretty much lay it down and say "Here. Here is how you do this. Here is how you do that." Instead of leaving them overwhelmed by a very nifty graphic which is what I usually would do. That doesn't make me any better than anyone else and I was so caught up worrying how great my graphic needed to be that I was forgetting the content and neglecting an even bigger responsibility. Once this new layout is coded, it will pretty much be set in stone that simplicity will always win for me. I am going to put my creative juices into something such as a personal site or just bury it for good. There, I've buried the hatchet. Haha.
