Typo, artist, somewhat fluffy
So the tumblrs are imported and I’m trying to change some stuff. The importer has a weird way of handling single image posts where it’ll try to make the image in a WP gallery (which is useless) instead of just posting the image by itself in the post.
Fixing up the 365 posts is going to be my priority (no matter how much I like my AC:NL blog ;P) and could take some significant time but it’s at least some preservation lol.
If all goes well I won’t add a post after this sobbing and crying why nothing worked 🙂
So the end of 2018 has come, and 2019 has started. My last actual update, that wasn’t a personal project or plants, was setting up the site and not doing much other than tinker every month or so. However in 2018 I had other sites for “blogging” unlike 2019. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Sorry if anyone came by when it was down. I didn’t realise it broke one of my plugins.
So what’s been going on? Why is the site so quiet? Why are you asking rhetorical questions, DO? Well hopefully we’ll answer them in this post.
So I’ve been pretty quiet over the past few months as there’s been a lot of things going on in my life honestly! In art news, I’ve been chugging along with Art-a-Day as well as updating my online presence! You’ll now find new links to various places on my links page such as dusting off my deviantART and setting up dedicated art social accounts.
On top of that it’s con time for me, heading off to Confuzzled! If you’re going to be about, keep an eye out for me or my business cards! I’ll be easily spotted as the tall guy with this around his next, or handing out these cards.
Second update, the plants are doing well and I’m trying to do more. Hopefully they’ll grow well while I’m away over Confuzzled weekend!
Final update is a big one: I recently made the choice to quit my job. This was a big choice, as obviously not everyone can just crash out of standard employment and I have a rare opportunity to at least sit back and refocus where and what I want to do. Be it here and focus on art full time, or finding a new job elsewhere. What I will say though, is if your job is making you feel suicidal then GET OUT. No matter what the situation you’re in, discuss it with your partners, parents, whatever and get yourself out. Either by a new job or taking a break for some time. No job is worth it even if you enjoyed it if it is killing you.
We’ll see how things go but after Confuzzled, expect me to clear out my remaining queue that was delayed by being in full time employment and opening slots. I’ll post about them everywhere as usual so keep an eye out!
We’re rooted and we have leaves 8D
So I’ve been busy for the past month or so with work and art and the like, but also plants! I’ve been gradually gathering various plants because apparently that’s something I do now too. Most of them are succulents, which are rad, in fact here they are from when I pulled them back in to the main room when it was very snow-y at late February.
So I figured I’d give propagating some a try! The red and green pals on the bottom shelf were pretty leafy so I thought I’d have a go at propagating them. I was a little worried about harming them as the way to do it is by pulling their leaves off! Though the other two ways actually involve taking enough leaves off to cut the stem, plant the stem after it dries out and planting that, while leaving the stump to regrow.
I’ve been busy fixing up the gallery section of the site! It was a learning experience, but again thanks to Cyrin for all his help with getting this set up.
The gallery section is something I’d wanted here for a long time, however I didn’t want it for a landing site so kinda put it off until I finally got this section up and running.
What does this mean? It means that you’ll have my main wordpress site that will function as the landing page, as well as a personal, blog, place that isn’t me spouting rubbish on twitter and the gallery section to put up art I’ve got and perhaps even key pics I’m proud of! It will also have character profiles, like here, read up about Annai for example! All in all the site is coming along nicely \o/
Slowly pulling the site together! Figure it’s time to unleash this bear minimum.
Still got some other things left up to do such as art pages and start throwing on some character references/profiles like I plan on doing, but for now this will do.
Also lol I shoved the EU cookie banner on just in case it counts because of WordPress.
Bear with me I’ve never used this before.
