One of the things that pisses me off about blogsome.com is that there is no way to export posts.  So I can’t export all these posts (at pookieart.blogsome.com) and then import them into the new blog [or for backup purposes].  That means that the archives of the NEW site will have to point here, which is fine, if you think about it in terms of archives-by-month.  Want to see January?  Sure, I’ll just make the Januray link point to pookieart/blogsome and keep that as archives.  BUT, say, if someone clicks on the CATEGORY "moleskine".  Then what?  If they do that on the new site they will se NO POSTS older than the day I changed blogs.  This is crazy.  I’m really peeved. 

Yes, I posted on the blogsome forums for help and got a link to a post that says to use certain software to backup the posts, but the software has changed so much since the post about backing up was written that the instructions are useless and the software doesn’t even seem to work.

What I shoulda just done (and could still do, but then I’d basically be throwing away days and days of WORK!) would be to just cancel the web hosting for the new domain and POINT the new domain to pookieart/blogsome w/ domain masking.  Then, if you typed in iluvart.net, it’d take you to pookieart/blogsome but you’d only see "iluvart.net" in the browser.  I can still do that, but I hate to throw aways days of work and also blogsome IS LIMITED, which is one reason WHY I got a domain and hosting and i’m talking in circles and i want fritos and i want to go to bed!!!!!!!!!!   =:o>—<

I figured he was "sketch worthy" (interesting-looking) and so I snuck a picture of him w/ my camera phone so I could draw from it later.  It’s taken me a few days, but I finished it today while at Subway (the restaurant), after finishing my sub.  This was done in my Lami Li sketchbook.

I got a new, short domain name (iluvart.net) and plan on moving this art blog over there.  But it may take longer than I’d hoped.  My blog here is on blogsome.com which is a free service powered by wordpress software.  My new website will be my own web space with my own install of wordpress software.  So in theory, it should function the same (and look the same) to me and also to you.  But of course, nothing is ever simple!  (I yell the phrase outloud a lot.)  With the new version of wordpress, it seems you need an expert understand of PHP (a programming language) and I don’t.  I’m a web designer who knows HTML well and gets around fine in CSS.  But PHP?  That’s why my hubby gets paid the big bucks for knowing, not me.  So… will I get my new blog where I want it?  Who knows.  Probably.  When will you be able to go to iluvart.net instead of here?  Who knows. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in two weeks.  But I’m working on it.  Just call me "Code Monkey".

Also, I did get a new website and domain name for moving this blog to.  I just have to get the template set up so that it looks the same.  But when it’s ready, iluvart.net will be the new url for my art blog!  

The lady w/ the glasses, I had seen her last weekend in a restaurant and thought she looked… "sketch-worthy", so I took her pic w/ my camera phone and then today drew the sketch (or "sketched the drawing") (or whatever).
