Ready to go. . .

Sweet, the blog is finished and ready for invitations! I even have a favicon in place, which i’m proud of. Turns out posting a photo from Flickr kinda sucks because A. it puts a bunch of code in place that i’d rather not have in my blog posts, and 2. i can only do one photo at a time that way.

So welcome to the new blog, comments and suggestions happily accepted. I have a feeling i’ll be giving this a new look before very many months go by, and maybe adding cool details in the meantime. The only thing i’ll miss about Myspace is seeing people’s photos next to their comments. I think it’s possible to do that here, but i doubt anyone will really want to make an account and upload a photo just for my little blog. Feel free, though.

I’m excited because now ANYONE can comment! Which means you, too, DAD and DAN! And spammers… i think i’d be flattered to get spam. Not really.

I have an RSS feed. Learn how to use it–your web browser probably has “RSS bookmarks” or something along those lines. It lets you see when i’ve made a new post without having to actually come to the website to check. Google makes a fun RSS reader. Personally, i’m a big fan of Netvibes. Possible instructional Netvibes post in the future.

Here are a few photos from the Star Wars dance Dan and i performed in last weekend. Yeah, we’re that cool.

Star Wars Geeks!
The one photo that i took (obviously the best composition). Dan as Emperor Palpatine!

Star Wars Geeks!
Dan’s shot of me as Mara Jade!

Star Wars Geeks!
Evil twins. Er, master and apprentice. Or something.

Star Wars Geeks!
Fear my flared nostrils! Dan, stop smiling! (”huh? :D “)

Star Wars Geeks!
Star Wars Geeks.

As you can see, my hair is lighter than it was. I paid a hefty sum for the treatment and wound up with hair that’s still much lighter at the top than the bottom. Extremely disappointing. You can’t tell in these photos, though, and actually the reddish-brown color i ended up with worked well for the costume.

Looks like it’s time for bed. Have a lovely weekend!

    You’re much cuter than I am. Even with rubber boots!

    I wanted to tell you I never would have figured out that the three buttons up top were buttons except that you told me. I think it’s a gorgeous idea, but if someone’s actively searching for your portfolio, it might be hard for them to find it.

    Also, I love you, and we should go out for dinner. Right now!

    yeah…until i read this comment i would not have seen the navigation at the top as well. Maybe a nice little dotted subtle underline would help
