Updates – RSS, Cool Links, Replies and More!

It’s been a while since I did a general update about the website. It was last time just about the fact I was adding more header images to my site, and it was five years after the last time where I was sorting the tumblr export for my 365 blog and a couple other things. That’s the fun of a site that just lets you post whatever you want and you run it, you don’t have to care when you spin up over 1,000 posts containing art.

This is very much going to be a longish post as I have a lot of thoughts and also updates to mention, I’m not saying I was putting things off but Cohost’s shut down has spurred me to work on things.

2018 – 365 Sorted

All done now! All 2018 posts from my 365 blog should be both successfully ported over but also neatened and numbers corrected, hopefully :B

I’m not making a master post like previous years but will link the month images here. That link will have 2015 and 2016 once I’ve got round to them but for now it’s only 2018.

Also, below is each month in chronological order:

Tumbls imported

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.

May Update

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!

Been quiet…

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/

Getting there

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.
