The chronicles of a right brained artist leaving the advertising world in New York City to start a business in a Philadelphia art studio. Year 1 - the ups and downs, hilarious and serious, smart and stupid things that occur along the way. And maybe a few life lessons... :)

Too long
It's been too long since I've written but I had a few personal issues that kept me from my wonderful studio far too long. Happy to say I am back on track and back at it. So back to the to-do list... After many rounds with the web designers I finally have a design I am stoked about for my new site. It only took hours of researching exactly what I wanted and a few frustrating moments to get it right. Now for the hard part - uploading the content. I have a content management system so that I'm able to upload, change, alter, change again all the things I want without having to deal with another human being. But this poses just as many complications as the too cheery ladies that you can't get past on the telephone line whenever you need something important. Lack of human interaction means no questions answered. As with most things in my job, I'm left fending for myself. Luckily I have over 5 years experience dealing with websites, however this only makes me slightly less green to the situation because as the digital world goes, everything is constantly changing. And just because you know one system doesn't mean you know them all. So my current (and ongoing) project is to set up my entire website, upload all the pictures, copy, features, categories and make decisions about programs, what to allow and not allow. FUNNNNN - completely overwhelming, challenging and totally rewarding. Just how I like it! More to come...
