i haven't stopped futzing with it YET?

[lookingland]

In reorganizing my website for Reconstruction, i decided to put some texture on the page (it's always been too flat for me). i'm also cramming the glug of "information" onto an information page to free up the homepage for the latest updates. not quite sure how this will work, but it's getting closer to what i want (is that even possible?)

i think the only thing i'm fretting about is having a link somewhere to make the "recent updates" more readily available rather than having to paw through the archives (which are still cumbersome, but i'm leaving them alone for now). the "recent updates" menu on the left just feels sort of lost. i feel like i need something a little flashier. what i think i will do is just have a "posting order" update page so it's easy to see what's new. it's one more page to maintain, but that's all right. it's not a big deal to just have piles of links somewhere.

anyway, so there it is. all of the changes aren't "live" yet and i have a lot of work to do still ~ including some slash and burn on the scenes that have already been posted (bad, i know ~ but it has to be done). this weekend, i hope, everything will be more in order. i'll definitely be very glad when all of these technical issues are resolved and i can just focus on the content for a change.

But... I bet you'll feel better for the technical issues having been addressed, too. :)

always!

of course, if i had a million dollars, i would hire someone to do all this futzy stuff for me ~ ha!

OOoo, I love the texture!

And I've got to say I also love the "random scene" function. I was playing with it the other night, and I loved how I never knew what was coming up next...Each vignette was like a little present!

thanks!

that randomizer is going to be a lot of fun. i'm hacking up the scenes this weekend and the whole thing is going to be a lot more "random" and a lot more impressionistic (and hopefully therefore a lot more poetic) when i'm done. and hopefully, even if it doesn't entirely make "sense", it will be cool enough to want to click around on (and eventually get hooked).

That looks so nice! I love the layout. I really envy your web construction talents. Mine are so primitive.

thank you ~ !

i feel like i am endlessly behind the curve, but i've learned to steal all manner of tricks from other far superior designers!

I really dig the look. It's got the good mix between accessibility and aesthetics...cuz usually people always go too much to one side.

thanks ~ ! i really like a lean and clean page (which this ain't yet ~ and prolly never will be). but i'm pretty happy with this so far, so i'm glad other people are digging it!
