Taking Initiative

I had an idea for an extended title which was "Taking Initiative by the Horns then Getting Thrown to the Ground", but it seemed to wordy. With this labor day weekend I've completely finished the website... completely. I just have to upload it which I will do soon. For right now I will just taunt you with the notion of me actually finishing the website. And FYI I like it even more with the updates. It only took me $25 in webhosting and hours at a computer screen!

Que wall of text, hopefully you don't think "TLDR" (to long didn't read) since most of it is relevant to you 13 people who hopefully still follow.

This webhosting actually leads me into today's topic which is that there is a new advertisement somewhere on this blog. I figure I'll just tell you, its at the bottom, but its not any advertisement, its and advertisement for 1&1 hosting, you know the guys that are based out of the UK that also do work in the US that I host with. Yeah them. $24 for 6 months is what I paid when I joined and that's only $4 a month for hosting which I'm more than willing to pay. It's not as nice as the $2 a month for Flickr, but I dig it. Anyway apparently I need another $24 to keep my hosting for another 6 months. I doubt the ad does anything, but if you do happen to be looking for hosting please use the ad, it a referrer and I make money based on who I refer. I think I make like $20 if you sign up for a domain and hosting, which I would gladly accept. I was tempted to put it on the sidebar, but I didn't really want to ruin the experience of the blog for anyone still out there.

I've also noticed how conceited this blog seems to be getting. It's all about me, I'm not saying I don't enjoy flattering myself, but I've got a legitimate plan for the future now. Over the course of probably this past year I've been growing with skills as a designer and in other fields, such as HTML, Graphic Design, etc. I'm hoping to give something to you all, more interesting than my creations at least. What I'm saying is that I'm probably going to go in a direction like a tutorial blog, but with a much different style to it that will hopefully keep me original. I've got a few ideas planned including how I came up with a few of my digital graphics along with a little insight into HTML. Hopefully that will help anyone learning HTML.

In addition to those tutorials I have a few inspirational projects I want to launch. One of which that it probably widely done, but still helpful is showcasing different portfolio website and I've got a few in mind that I really want to start with. The post should actually be coming soon. All of that is coming up and then some. I'm hoping to do a few design tutorials as well which will go in detail to how to orient a website based on my opinions, but hopefully someone will find it interesting.

I'm also hoping this will build me a fan-base leading to interaction between me and fans of the blog. Other than that expect a new design overhaul to the blog that will better integrate it with my website and make it more "friendly".

For the record I still like the dark dark grey, so yeah no color changes, but HTML changes for sure.
