As you may or may not have noticed: This weekend I completely redesigned my site, thanks to Blogger's relatively-new Template Designer. It felt a little nervy to put both my name and face in the header (yes, that is me)... I'd already found it embarrassing enough to redirect my blog to jennasthilaire.com with everything inside me shouting YOU ARE NOT FAMOUS DON'T BE PRETENTIOUS. Oh well. Pictures personalize a website—at least, that's how I feel when other people put their own up. And that is my name.
Let me know if you come across anything in the new site design that needs fixing, and I'll do my best to oblige.
While normally I'd do my own writing about writing today, fellow Blogengamot member Arabella Figg put up a post at The Hog's Head discussing whether Christian films can be good. Her thoughts and the ensuing discussion on the relationships between Christianity, Christians, and art—including a contribution from Hollywood screenwriter Janet Batchler (who wrote Batman Forever, among other things)—fascinated me. I recommend that. The basic principles are applicable to the art of writing.
If you need further reading material, I just posted a review of the new Narnia movie, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, also at The Hog's Head.
The only thing I've noticed so far with the site that might need a little tweaking is that the hyperlinks don't always stand out in comparison to the regular text.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, George. Most of them show up as already visited for me, which is a different color. So I've made them blue... might tweak it a little more, but hopefully that helps. Maybe I can figure out how to make them underline, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the notice!
