I'm a big girl and I deserve big girl things...

... like Photoshop?

Good grief, I am six degrees of confused with photoshop. Now of course I am brand new to it, and we have things to do. You know, emails, flyers, ads, and so on. And so I'm learning as I go.

There's a lot to be impressed with, I must say. Like last night, when I found a magical button that will erase the entire background of your image with one click. That's really hot, I thought to myself, and started looking for pictures to do that with. Who needs backgrounds, anyway? I can see that photoshop is powerful; so mighty in fact that it is a verb.

But the terrible awesomeness of it, the sheer size and magnitude of the thing, is a bit overwhelming. Kind of like standing in the cockpit of a plane, looking at all the dials and knobs and levers. In the right hands, you can fly a plane. In the wrong hands, well... you get the point. Let us hope that the introduction of photoshop into my life will prove to be a step forward, rather than a sure sign of the apocalypse.

Does something look different?

Yup, you're in the right place. I'm now the webmaster, and there are gonna be some changes around here. In other words, this is going to be black until I figure out how to do something else. Why the change, you ask? Well, because change is good for you. And it's inevitable. So get comfortable, got it?

Actually we've been discussing changing the look of the website for some time now. The original design is endearing and wonderful, but it was time for something different, something a little more mature, something with a bigger viewing window... you get the idea.

And so, somehow, I got tapped to make this change. I have NO idea how that happened. And being the non-technical artistic type that I am, I did the only thing I could do when faced with HTML. That's right. I ran the 0ther way. Right into the arms of iweb.

Yup, mac saves the day. I can throw things around like I know what I'm doing, and generally it works. We discovered that I got a little overexcited about all the bells and whistles and made the site a little dense for most browsers (*cough*internet explorer*cough*) So I simplified things for now. And like most classy events, we're going black. Black tie, little black dress, you can't go wrong. And so it is. I reserve the right to change it whenever and however I feel like it, because I do what I want and I am drunk with power.

So visit the site, why dontcha, and bask in the glory of a not-at-all-computer-savvy girl who did a thing that got published to the interwebs. And someday I may figure out how to do other things. If I want.
