I now have an online commercial web presence! You can see what items I currently have up for sale at my Etsy Store or on the purchase page.
My brain is dripping out through my ears. After screen gazing for days on end I’ve basically finished a compilation of all the artwork I’ve done since birth. Whew.
The next project for Visual Hierarchy is the inclusion of a new Etsy store featuring inexpensive current works.
The more I work on this social network the more it feels like endlessly chasing the wind. From [edit] and dolphin, to revolart.com and elgg, and now I’m switching yet again. I’m staying with elgg to be sure as it is the best out there for what I need, but my web-dev-tech-savy-ness-less is catching up. Today I was able to play around with php, mods, and themes in order to get this:
Its as far as I’ve been so far. I am learning a great deal. An aquaintance (who is quite skilled with webdev and design) of mine is setting me up on his own servers and helping me out a bit with this project. I’m eternally grateful just to have this guy on aim teaching me more in five mintues than an hour of searching on the web. Part of the difficulty is that Elgg (the base I’m using for this social network) is very young and there isn’t a whole lot of info out there on it. Most of the people using it already have the skills to use it effectively.
So, I’m taking a new approach. I’m going to build the site on paper, put down everything I want, fill my imagination to the brim and then build from there. I know its possible and little by little I’m gathering the necissary tools. It will work.
In other news I’ve opened up a second etsy store. One might wonder why I need two and the simple answer is that each store showcases different styles of work. The original store has sketchwork and studies, the crude raw stuff. The new store has more polished works and even framed prints.
I’m exhausted.
