the idea: change the design of mirandaaisling.com so it is focused on the Idea Blog

This site has, once again, undergone a renovation.

Currently, I am experimenting with having the Idea Blog (what I’m writing on right now) as the center point of my website and various social media sources.  Before now the header had my name on it as well as the slogan for the blog, “a new idea every day.”

However, based on the recommendations of a few different people, I decided to make the Idea Blog front and center.  Although I do like to use this website as a portfolio to show my work, the real point of an art blog isn’t talk say “Here’s my amazing art!  Look at it!”  Instead, the point should be to explain the creative process, to provide a window into a creative mind.  And that’s exactly what I am attempting to do as I put up my ideas each night.

When I first decided to write an idea blog post every night I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do it.  Somedays i am overflowing and somedays I am tapped out, that’s the nature of being creative.  But through discipline and some late night inspirations, I’ve managed to post every day since December 30th.  That’s over three months now, so I guess that means that ever during the dry spells there is something there, waiting to be shared.

As another part of my revamped Idea Blog, I am going to try ever harder to find more guest bloggers/ideators.  So if you are one, or know one, send them along!
