Blogs are stupid. I can't count how many times I've heard someone vow they would never get a blog (these are the only people who have one). I guess I qualify as the worst example. I promised I would abstain from blogging with as much conviction as I feel against Idaho State. I've had 5. However, I know exactly why I caved in. Because before I signed up for that Weebly account, or two other Blogspots or even the Wordpress or Squarespaces I pulled out my handy-dandy Pixelmator and got started on my title.
My first blog was based on the poem by E.E. Cummings, "I Carry Your Heart". No posts. No followers. Just an empty blog out in cyberspace somewhere with a banner like this:
I realized how much I enjoyed trying to capture the spirit of a blog and even a person in the banner. I helped finish blog banners for some friends (each incredibly outgoing, witty, slightly mischievous and basically odd... in the absolutely best way possible)... now I can't stop. I feel like Smeagol with an obsession for designing.
More. More. More. heeheehee.
