Well, I’m just glad to have found you through Yellow Rose. I can’t imagine anyone being more patient with a non-geek than you were when you re-designed my blog. I won’t ask a question here, because I’ve asked too many already. But, I will say it’s amazing that you are able to express your talent in so many ways AND have a delightful family to boot. I know it must be scary to open up again and blog your heart out, but it will be fun to know more about you!

I really like the new design. 🙂 It’s simple, yet elegant.

Have a great weekend.

Crusty: Thank you. Live and learn, you know? Thanks for hangin in through all the boring drooly stuff. Mom: The icons are for folks who use those services to bookmark me if they should want to hang onto something that I write. You're right about the paper thing - that was for my header design. Thanks for noticing! :) Sword Girl: CA-Credits is the plugin of choice for linking back to your guests. You can download ca-credits here. It's simple to configure, just throw the call to the function in the post area, and format it in your admin panel. :) Nancy: A broad question deserves a broad answer, right? :winking: Everything beautiful inspires me. From feelings to moments and visually stimulating compositions to structures, animals and behavior. Tommi: I don't keep my cool, sister! I may not let many people see that, I'm just more private about the things that frustrate and/or upset me. Pamibe: I gotchya covered today. Thanks for the kick in the pants! :hug: Robin: Really cried. Bawled my eyes out cried to a point of hyperventilating - on September 25, 2006. Cried in a proud mama way several times since then, but that one in September was a big emotional release day. JAM: Thank you! Christine: I have CSS Mastery by Andy Budd - but a majority of what I've learned is by trial & error and the example of other CSS. You learn quick not to copy but to study it until you know it, to fix it until you get it right, and to find resources to help you along online - like W3Schools. Lisa: Just say when. Are you done with that book yet? Usedtobeme: I'm glad I know who you used to be. heh. I started blogging back in 2003 when livejournal was the only place to do it that I knew of. I found that through an art community. Then I wandered out into the blogosphere and found out that I was missing out on a lot of stuff, livejournal was really enclosed and clique-y and I wanted to get out and stand on my own domain. I do like to write, but I wanted more of a place to document my art and progress. You know, to increase the value of my work through allowing people a more personal look into my life. Thanks for all the great questions! Now I have to format these comments. What a mess. LOL

Hey, I up and left when people found my blog. You have your name all over your blog, making it rather difficult to “blog free” if you know what I mean. Maybe you need a top secret place to blog your “true” self and use this one for the commercial aspect…just a thought. Just remember to give me your forwarding address.

As for my question, it is a two parter: What made you start blogging? Have you ever blogged naked? (ha! The second part is something that my husband would ask…IF he knew I had a blog).

We all put up blogwalls every now and then – no need to feel bad about it. We all also lose ‘it’ and then find ‘it’ again and lose it.. it’s a vicious circle. Good thing is.. ‘it’ usually keeps evolving into great things. :cyclops:

That cyclops icon is totally irrelevant to my comment, I just wanted to use it.

Hmm…question…question…when are you taking me shopping? I so need to get out of the house, you know.

Leanne, love your new look.

What’s a good book or website to start, in learning CSS?

:thanku:

Love the new look. Nice and clean but with lots of details, like they used to build buildings.

No questions, but, hey, let it all hang out.

When was the last time you really cried?

It’s always amazed me how some people think they can open up on someone online while in RL they would never think of doing that face to face. Believe me, it happens to all of us… but those people just don’t matter. Really.

My question: Where is the final scan of the mono kitties?? I’d been waiting, but knew you got really, really busy… Just wondering… :winking:
