Website designing is hard.

Mood is.......: distracted
Listening to..: "Take Me or Leave Me" (Rent OST)

Okay not that this is surprising but....I haven't been working on what I'm supposed to be. In fact I did attempt to start....but as with all things, I get distracted. I decided I needed to clean out my entire web domain that my friend so graciously is letting me play with. Yup, the entire thing.

Mostly it's just a fit of belated spring cleaning I guess. I just got rid of everything. I'm streamlining it and getting rid of the junk that no one gives a damn about. I've moved my character info over to LJ so I can just link there- less coding and fussing all around for me, which is perfect.

Once I got rid of everything I decided I'd 'sketch' a quick layout.



Very quick huh? Actually it didn't take too much time. The most time was spent trying to find a damn reference for the gas lamp/lantern. I still can't find anything good so I'll do what any artist would do in such a situation....I'll make shit up. Long as it looks good, no?

The sketch to the left is gonna have so awesome underlighting- at least that's the plan. I've never really done it before but I've always thought it was awesome.

The only thing is...I wish I could keep the font I have above but I don't know how to change the font on a webpage. I'm pretty sure it's possible.....I just don't have the technical know-how.

Don't have much else to say. I'll probably screw this up too.

Ciao lovies.

The layout looks great and original, Lee.
As for the font, you could use images instead of text - this is the only way (I think) you can keep the font and be 100% sure other people see it.
