New goblin & new website up and running!




I am officially exhausted....I completely forgot how much work it is to get a website to a reasonably workable state....even with the joy of the iWeb templates. The most frustrating part of the whole thing is that while I can get the site looking lovely on my Mac, not everything translates as well on a PC.....which means I can't have reflections, some fonts or other twiddly bits (I believe that is the technical term) that I really like. Despite this, I'm pleased with how it looks. I've retained the easy navigation of the old site, but added in some nice options like slideshow on the gallery pages.
I've decided to open a shop page on Big Cartel for small items like cards and bookmarks and I hope to have this up within a few weeks (there will be a link on the website 'shop' page). To me, the site looks cleaner, brighter and less cluttered. I'm sure there will be adjustments along the way and of course the site will grow as more new work is added, but for now it's another task struck off my list.
The little creature pictured above is called "Bristlecone" and he's a Common Pine Goblin. You can check out his page here.
Hope you enjoy the new-look site. Please let me know if you experience any problems with it and I'll do my best to rectify them.
Till next time.

    Your newly rebooted web site is lovely and so easy to navigate. I use a PC and didn't have any problems. I know what you mean about creating them. I hate it. Awesome goblin too. Love all the details.

    The website is looking good!And there were some new pics in the gallery - at least I'd never seen them before! It must be a spring thing cos I've just redone both my sculpting and writing sites! : )

    Thanks so much Ineke and Cody!
    Cody - I'm so glad to hear you didn't have any problems....and 'rebooted' is exactly the right word, wish I'd thought of using it instead of 'new' (which it isn't, really)......:)

    Love the new web site, very easy to negotiate, and nice and bright. I'm using a mac too so no probs.
    Bristlecone is fantastic, those teeth look really real LOL can imagine being ankle bitten while out walking.

    Hi Lorell I haven't been to your website yet but going soon! I'll let you know (I'm on a Mac) I love your new goblin!!! Do these get bought up right away or do I ever get a chance to see if I can afford one? LOL!

    I'm better but tender tender joints still...

    Off to see your new improved website!
    Love~

    Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments!
    Pattee - I know! Sometimes they're sold before they're even finished! 'Bristlecone' is available at the moment though....he's on the 'shop' page on the website.
    I'm so glad you're feeling better except for your poor joints....what a horrible run you've had! I was very sorry to hear about your chicken too. I think it's well past time for life to throw you a break?!
    Love and Hugs xoxo
