Email Subscriptions are Back
Subscribe to Newsletter (photo credit: Gerd Altmann ) In another case of Google killing off a service that a lot of people use, they killed off the RSS to email subscription feature of Feedburner, which is what this site (and many, many others) used to provide email subscriptions for updates. After a lot of hunting, I settled on follow.it to replace that functionality. It’s completely free for subscribers and has a lot more options than Feedburner offered. We’ve imported our previous subscribers who had previously confirmed their subscri…

Site Update
It was overdue that I needed to update my site. The old one not only looked dated, but it was also not responsive (as Google kept reminding me). Thanks to a new premium template from Sora Templates , the site is now: Responsive Mobile Friendly Fast Loading Minimalistic Simple SEO Friendly Clean Layout Clear Design Using HTML5 & CSS3 Improved Modern Browser Compatibility I also took this opportunity to update the Gallery page , as the old gallery plugin from deviantART had stopped workin…
It’s Been a Long Time Coming
It’s been a long time coming, getting this blog post written. I wish I could say that I’ve been busy writing and illustrating, but that’s not true. I have, however, been busy.

Hello. As any long-term reader of my blog knows, I usually talk about the arts, specifically writing, publishing, and illustrating. But occasionally, I hang a sharp right and go off-topic. This is one of those times. I recently received an email from Fitbit showing off their new Versa smartwatch . I've used a Fitbit One for years and love it, but I recently discovered that product has been discontinued (boo!). With that being the case, I've been looking into their wrist-worn devices. Thus, I followed their link, and I read an…
Hello 2018!
It's 2018! I know, it has been for over a month, but I've been busy. Sadly, that busy time has mostly been made up of real life and work. I didn't have turnover at the day job this past year (yay, finally!), but I still stayed incredibly busy. We spent a lot of 2017 fixing up the house. So, at the end of the day, not much time or energy left for writing or illustrating. So, what did my 2017 look like?
