What an interesting blog post this is…sike! (haha, I miss saying that!)

I was just thinking to myself that I really need to update this site more. It’s looking a hot mess right now. Every time I do make a new layout, I get sick of it right away and trash before it even becomes live. Its becoming a bad habit. I’m just not satisfied with my designs for this site. Anyways, hopefully in the future, I’ll have a design that’s worth putting up instead of these crappy themes I keep stumbling upon.

In other news, I bought another domain and will be creating a “network” of sorts with it. I’m thinking design & hosting, that will be a part of this network. Sounds exciting in my head! I’ve already made a logo (that I can’t wait to see on a business card!) and am currently creating layouts for both projects. When I have a more solid foundation of the two projects, I’ll let you all know more about it.

For quite some time now, I’ve been telling myself that I will finally create a custom design for my poor template-based website. I have yet to do that and its only because I have no inspiration to do so. I’m not sure why though? In the past, visitors to my site always complained to me about how I would change my layouts every week and if I had ever actually left one up for more then that! Now it’s like; Yay you changed the layout, but to another crappy premade WordPress template…not so great.

Like most people I try visiting CSS galleries and other’s website to find that “OMG instant inspiration”, but it just doesn’t come to me. I’m wondering if maybe my creative juices are just being sucked up by me working on client websites? Makes sense and then it doesn’t, right?

Well, I dunno. I just felt like ranting about this, since it have been on my mind for quite sometime and hopefully SOON everyone can see a much tasteful layout then the normal template. =(

Question of the day: What helps inspire you to create a new layout for your website?

PS: YAY! Barack Obama is president! =D

So recently I’ve been a little obsessed with sites Zazzle.com and Cafepress.com. I opened up two shops with them, but currently am only working on the Zazzle one. It’s really fun and hopefully in the near future I can be making some little cash on the side with it.

For now, I’m not going to design anything over the top for it, since I want to keep my original designs…well…original and feel like it could be stolen at any time on those types of websites. Ah well, its fun creating little gifts ideas and t-shirts. Oh and the Keds Shoe designing is fun too! If anything Zazzle is really is easy to use and get hooked on.
