layout

...was not made by me. Though I'm sure I could have made something just as pretty, Blogger's back-end code has gotten much more complicated, and I really don't want to delve into the headache of making code work. It's all I can do to tweak the xml and css and whatever the hell else is in there to what I want. I still can't get it through my head that line breaks are now br/ instead of /br. gah. So I'm cheating and making use of the vast amounts of work done by better coders than me.

Credits were already built into the layout, so check them out if you want more like this. (I found this layout like, two or three pages removed from the actual author, so the links they gave are better than I used. :p)

Oddly enough, sifting through potential templates helped me sort out my thoughts on my main character, I was looking for something that would reflect her... and I almost went for a kitschy sort of '50s look, which might be a good look for her. I was thinking more art-kid, like most of the photographers I've bumped into, but I could almost see her doing the kitsch thing.

...ehh, only dresses wouldn't be conducive to poking around all sorts of potentially grungy areas to take pictures, so maybe not. Maybe for her bedroom though.

In any event, I think this is the sort of photo she'd like. Or at least, it's the kind she's going to grow to like. (Authorial omnipotence is a wonderful, wonderful thing. XD) It's also scarily apt for my storyline, so yay.
