A long time ago, I purchased The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards, with hopes to improve my drawing. While I enjoyed reading first half of the book, and doing to projects, I lost interest—something I shouldn’t have done. However, I recently picked the book back up and completed (almost) all the projects. After completing the book, I’ve realized how amazing it is. While I’m not a great artist, I understand how to draw now—a concept that I would have never understood without this book.
I just switched my site from Textpattern to Symphony CMS. I originally did not expect do that because I loved Textpattern and had absolutely had no issues or problems with it. However, being I, I ended up trying to build my site with Symphony CMS—just to learn it and check it out. Once I did that, I was too amazed by it to not use it.
The Flowerland theme that has been available to download in HTML and CSS is now available as Textpattern theme. It took so long because I was having mamp problems. However, I worked it out, and posted the txp version.
I designed a new simple layout for Joytistic, although I kept Miss Lashes included in it. The major change is that “stuff” has become two sections, “themes” and “wallpapers.” Additionally, the four major sections, art, words, themes, and wallpapers, all appear on the front page. Perhaps understanding what I’m saying is confusing, but after browsing around, you might get what I’m talking about.
This, I hope, is an improvement. I’m moving away from the design of a blog (since it really isn’t one) and moving toward a site tailored toward what I post. Enjoy the art, themes, and Miss Lashes. I think she’s here to stay.
