Sunday, August 31, 2003 Version 1.8 Well, it's back to a minimalist design. I can't seem to stick to just one template. I always have this need to "reinvent myself." Am I fickle? Am I unsatisfied with myself? I don't know, maybe I'm all of that along with everything else. Actually, I had a completely different layout in mind in the beginning. It was gray and boxy and had non-intuitive navigation. I really liked it. But the picture I wanted to use with it required permission from the illustrator--permission that I never got. I have a feeling that he just chucked my correspondence in the trash and never bothered to read it, let alone respond. I envy the people who can leave their sites looking the same way forever. It's like building a brand name. People come back knowing what to expect and after a while, they start feeling chummy and consider you an old friend. They feel like they're on "your side" because they've been there since the beginning. Every time I change versions because I feel like it, I also feel like I'm alienating everyone else. Just when is she going to change the site again? It's a measure of unpredictability and most people, common sense tells me, don't like change. Anyways, just be glad I'm not feeling mischievious enough to put titillating pictures on this site so that the next time you read me at work, you might get in trouble. On another note: I've also completely rewritten the about section. [posted by S. Y. Affolee on 12:05 PM : ]
