Web Design, I’m not done yet!

I was just updating my site list. It’s a page here at fromkarlyn.com, that lists all the websites I own and care for.

Since around 1998 ‘ish, I have been puting together websites for myself, clients, friends and family. In 2000, I decided to be official and go from a free site service to my own dot-com.  My first dot-com and now officially my oldest site, is MomsRewards.com.

Fast forward.. Ten years and a dozen domains later.

A few of the websites didn’t last. For whatever reason, I gave them up. However, nine remain, and these are all my babies.

I’m not done yet though.. Why?  It’s fun. I really enjoy it… the whole process: from the planning, to the design, to the adding of content. In fact; it’s a little disappointing to me when I eventually finish and call it completed.  Though; it is nice to publish it and “let it fly”, so to speak.

I have no plans to create any more sites and am quite busy maintaining the ones I have, and helping friends with theirs. You never know though. The ideas are always swimming around.  :)

Scrapblog Fun

I was never much into scrapbooking, but got an invite to spend some time at scrapblog and really enjoyed my time there. Got some photos you might like to dress up and share? This site makes it really easy. Above is my dog copper in some of his best photo moments at home. Check out the site and try it out at: www.scrapblog.com

Pogo mini and badge art display

If you enjoy playing Pogo games, like I do, then you probably have a mini you decorated and game badges you collect. For me, this is part of the fun of Pogo. I spend way too much time customizing my little mini-me avatar and I get excited about each and every one of those cute badges I earn. Now, I know, that in the big picture of life, these are tiny little minuscule things. However, after I get my work done for the day, it’s fun to sit back and attempt to achieve the next scrabble or trivial pursuit level, or collect that weekly challenge badge. Simple pleasures, right?

So, after getting my mini all made up, I decided I wanted to display it on my blog. Then I thought it would be nice to add some bling to it.. you know, badge bling. So, I edited the mini graphic to display some of my favorite pogo badge icons and buttons. I realized this makes for a nice pogo-related signature as well. I added it to my profiles at MyPogoSpot and at PogoAddicton. That brings me here, where I’m posting on my blog and offering something to you.

If you have a blog, website or pogo-fan profile where you might like to display some bling’d-up pogo mini and pogo badge art too, then let me know. I love design and I would be happy to put this together for you with your own mini and badge content. All you have to do is leave your comment below or email me if you prefer. You can speed things up by providing your username, as I will have to view your pogo profile to get your mini and badge icons.

Happy Gaming!
