Get creative with me!
Hi, I’m Michele.

Today, I’ll be playing the role of Michele.
I get to recommend a new site for Michele’s blogroll, so I picked someone special.
Inquiring minds also would like some input on NASA, cause their last launch and landing had me nervous.
I’m (as Michele) also curious to know who is to thank for your Awesomeness, so you can answer that question here.
Last but not least, What’s your talent?
Now I’ve done all of this wearing my prettiest shoes, in compliance with the terms of the program. Now I must take my shoes off (nice legs, Michele, I wish I could have borrowed those too. Next time? Okay. Thanks!), and share an illustration that I doodled the other day.
This doodle is for a friend of mine who is going to be famous, I tell you. She writes. And she writes well, and her name is Mir.
You should really go read her blog if you don’t already. She’s already on my blogroll, already on Michele’s, so she has all necessary approvals, I think?
Tell her I said hi, and that her kids are cute!
I’ll be doodling again today, and (crossing my fingers) uploading a couple of others into my Graphic Illustration gallery that you haven’t seen before.

Some dumba$$es decided it was my turn to be hacked, so they dumped a “Paypal” folder into my domain and mass e-mailed a bajillion paypal users with some crap that they needed to update their password, etc, etc… You know the spam mail some people forward to spoof@paypal.com? Yes well the fraudulent link that people were redirected to? Right here on MY OWN DOMAIN. Bastages. Truly. I *wish* upon the biggest brightest star that people used their intelligence for GOOD, not EVIL and make real money doing real productive things in this life.
GAWD some people really truly SUCK!!
So my domain was suspended temporarily, I frantically spoke with my hosting company and they were so very nice about what I needed to do. All is well again, but you know? For a half hour or better I coulda just thrown up.
The good news? Really, there isn’t any. Come on. I just deleted the folders, but those jerks are still out there, and will do it to someone else. I wish there were good news.
Is it time for a password change on all of your accounts?
UPDATE: A great way to avoid this on your own domain? Go into your cpanel, create a paypal folder, lock it up with a password, and then add a redirect from that paypal/ directory to your index page. There. Then if they try to dump that crap on your server, anyone who clicks the link in a spoof e-mail will get redirected immediately, and the hackers can get to work on another evil plan to destroy random webmaster’s days.
New Gallery Peek!

I know a few of you have been waiting for my new gallery layout to go live. Well it’s allllmost ready, so I’ve decided to show you and see how you like it!
There are a few more things that need tweaking, of course, it won’t go live until it’s all done. I’m going to work on it for a little while this afternoon as I wait for the mailmain to bring me that ONE piece of mail that will tell me if a jury thinks I’m any good, which for some reason always gets me in a tizzy.
Anyhoo, tell me what you think about that new setup! I’ll be in there doin’ stuff while you’re looking.

Not too long ago, Nicole over at The Girl Next Door ordered up some custom blog artwork from E.Webscapes. Well since I’m the resident artist for ’em, I got to work on sketching out her request! She chose a book cover that she really loved and wanted me to do something like it.
After a long while of you thinking I was over here twiddling my thumbs every day and not being creative at all, I finished her artwork and turned it over to Lisa (EW Bosswoman) and she whipped up this sweet three-column design to match! See? Even when it doesn’t look like I’m painting, I really am! (I just wait for the design to go live before I show ya!)
So do me a favor, click, and go visit Nicole and let her know how you like her new digs! She’s excited, I’m excited, it’s all good!
If you’d like to see my other design (I’m new to EW, so I’ve just got two under my belt so far), click on the “E.Webscapes” category and you’ll see the screen shot to my last one. And if you want one? You gotta order it through EW, she’s the boss’a me on these!
