February 23rd
With the assistance of a friend (i.e. her helping me find a tutorial for my lj), I managed to add a lovely header onto my livejournal. It was not created by moi, because I have no graphical skills. Rather, this was something I had been putting off for awhile, so I’m glad to have it done now.
I mostly did webby stuff today, with a little writing/editing, too. Sam and I tried to game, but both of us were sleepyheads.
I spent time writing day, doing my Daily Pages a la The Artist’s Way.
I also did more webifying, and got all happy because I resolved a template problem. I don’t “know” php, as in I don’t write my own scripts. I’m learning more and more about it working with other people’s templates, and have gotten to where I can mix and match from different templates to get the effects I want. I also spent some time in mysql, trying to clean up some of this site’s tables to make it load faster.
I mean face-to-face story gaming, not anything on a computer. I suppose some people would call it a “diceless tabletop RPG.”
If it does count, I was multiply creative on day two!
Whether gaming is creation or not, there was the webmistressing today, which does. I tweaked some WordPress templates to work better, and moved more stuff over from my old site format to WordPress. It may not seem like much, but I always rewrite and update as I do that, so I figure it counts. It’s interesting to look back at some of the old content, 13 years after I started the site.
