New Web Address

So, I actually invested a little bit of cash in my website. I registered a domain and forwarded it to my Google site. The main page of my website can be found at CreativeSynapse.net. Now I actually have to get some other things done. Like maybe some new artwork. It's hard without actual workspace, but I should at least do some sketching or something.

Gallery Up and Running

Okay, I finally have my companion site up and running. It's very rudimentary at the moment, but it's better than nothing. I'll take a fresh look at it tomorrow and really start fleshing it out. I plan on having sections for sketches and music, too. Maybe.

In the meantime, you can follow the link to the left to get there.

For now, off to work.

This post is brought to you by the good folks at Google.

Okay, so in an attempt to get my crap together, so to speak, I decided to start assembling a web presence for my art. You know, a web site with a viewable gallery, a place I can track works in progress, that sort of thing. So I start looking around at domain registration and hosting and whatnot, only to realize something very important.

I'm a cheap bastard.

So then I get to thinking that Google has a LOT of great free resources. So lo and behold, they offer webpage hosting, image hosting, a blog service, and a whole plethora of nifty services for cheapskates such as myself that even use easy to modify templates. Also, when I do decide to get my own domain (you know, like crappyart.com or myparentswontevenputthisontheirfridge.org), I can just register the website to respond to that domain name as well, saving me from having to actually code a whole new website.

So now I just have to figure out what to do with it all. Other than blog posts where I practice debasing myself in a shameless marketing ploy for Google. But you know what? Google rules, so whatever. We'll see how long I can keep this little tea party going.
