One more step to getting this site where I want it. Colour me sunshiney-yellow! I’ve got one album up in “Gallery” and, now that I know how to, more to come this week! “Gallery” will be where I will keep my images of the crafts I’ve done, and “Photos” is where I will keep photos of family.

Also I’ve created a “Links” page that houses links for my friends’ sites, my favourite sites and my visitors’ sites. If you don’t want your website added to my “Links” page, please do not include it in the optional box when you’re commenting. That way I’ll know :o)

On a personal note: Football last night so my fella could take photos (he hasn’t posted them yet, but you might as well check out his photography ["Photography" link top right on his site]… I think he’s really growing). Tonight, starting at 18:00, I’ve got a wedding to attend, then bowling after that with friends (just for fun, we’re not in a league), and after that we’re planning on going back to my fella’s place to play Rock Band. I’ve discovered, just last weekend, that I’m not too bad at the singing part… which rather shocks me.

Wherever you are, no matter the weather, have a sunshiney day!

Soon, hopefully this weekend, I will get a big jump start on this site. I’m going to get my fella to give me a hand with a gallery then I should be off and running. Next week I plan to take pictures of all of the costumes and pieces that I’ve made so that they can have their own gallery.  It may take a bit of planning because I want to have things grouped together properly so that people who aren’t interested in my personal life don’t have to run through it to get to my public galleries & stuff for sale.

That’s another thing… figuring out how to sell things. At first I’m just going to put the galleries up to see if there’s any interest. Right now we’re only selling chainmail & scalemail locally and only on commission, but I have some bracelets and earrings done and ready for sale… so we’ll see.

And, just in case anyone is interested in my life today… it’s FRIDAY!!  But no slacking today… I’ve got a ton of work to get done.  Funny thing… we had a pigeon in the office two weeks ago (I think it was 2), and they haven’t seemed to learn their lesson. Another guy in the office (on the other side) left his window open over night!!!  This morning I opened up that side and saw two pigeons peeking in, so I shooed them away, but I don’t know if there’s another one that might be in there. I just shut that side of the office and they can deal with it. Their own stupidity after all.  ;oP

Anyway… I’ve got 45 minutes (or so) until I actually start (I got here at 7:25am today, but don’t actually start until 9am), but I want to check my Facebook and whatnot before I have to start making calls, working on A/R & A/P, updating files, and calling the mobile phone company. Weeeee!

All the best to you and yours!

This is a call for patience from anyone who is curious and kind enough to glance by my website while it’s in the midst of construction (I’d say “reconstruction” but it was in poor disrepair before and barely warranting the label “website”).   I have never used a pre-constructed template before, so I am working my way thru manipulating it, but by the end of this weekend, with some help, I shall have it up and running.

This site shall house updates here in the blog section on the main page (”Home” currently) about my current projects and my life, the “About” section will remain such and will have details about me shortly, and there will be one or more Album sections (depending on how I want to divide my photos). I will have a section devoted to Chainmail for certain. Currently if you want to get a small idea of what I’ve made and/or helped make you can vistit www.visualvoodoo.ca/chainmail  It’s where our old site was migrated to, and Chris will still have a section on Visual Voodoo for chainmail, but I’ll be adding one to my site as well because I may draw a different crowd.  (-_^)

In any event… this is my first post and I will end it here so that I can work on the backend some more tonight.
