Website Feng Shui Is Important

I read more blogs than I write. It's been too long since I wrote in my own blog. I have been busy working, designing a new website, and just biding blog-time until I get that new website up. My husband has designed his own (3D motion-graphics and Visual Effects tutorials) website and is currently in the code-building stages with CSS in Wordpress - the same avenue I plan to take with my new launch in 2011!)

In hindsight, I should have started this blog next year. But I couldn't wait, so I set up this blogger account. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this blog, or Blogger. I love the usability and ease. But it doesn't feel like mine. I want all my stuff like peas and carrots. I want to have full-control over everything on my blog and my website. Functionality, design, etc. Blogger does a good job of making this blog as much 'my own' as possible, but there are some things in the ToS that cause the brakes on my unicycle to go squish. The principal still stands; I want my own stuff together with the rest of my stuff. It is logical, organizational, and it would be much better overall for my business. Neat 'n tidy. But I always work with what I have got, and so far what I have is working good [enough]!

This blog is currently being used for personal reasons. Documenting things while I transition from being no-one in particular, to being a kick-ass photographer. I would hate to not have these beginning stages documented. Even if it is not as consistent, or as interesting, as I would like it to be. That will all change after the New Year, which I am thoroughly excited for (and terrified of).

As for my perfectly good portfolio? Oh, I like it alright, but I don't love it. And I don't want to sound ungrateful. I did win free hosting for one year, after all. Yes, I'm happy with it... for the time-being. But there are a lot of technical reasons why I have a love/hate relationship with my portfolio. I'll be doing a full review on the hosting service when my term runs out, so stay tuned for that.
