Author: Well…Ok Alot of users have messaged me asking if Its been proved this is a whim because Ive not posted in a couple of weeks . Dont worry all, I’ll explain why now.
Well, Firstly we got our daughter settled back into school. Then My laptop decided to tell me the C drive did not exist (I’m sure you will get a tutorial here soon from Zygo on how not to turn your machine off as I have been told off 
) and then I lost all my data as i hadnt done a back up ( yes very bad of me) and the work I planned to post , I couldnt anymore. Also only 5 weeks left till new baby arrives..As you can imagine its a bit hectic here.
So I will be posting some more artwork and I do have plans for more photoshop brushes etc and I will be posting some competitions for all registered users to WIN a FREE Graphics tablet.
Just give me a bit of time guys, and please keep sending messages of support and commenting on posts already here so I know what people want to see more of.

Lilly green free wordpress template
Well, An update on my journey. As you will see I managed to get rid of the basic Wordpress template. I was quite impressed with how simple the Wordpress software makes it to change templates. I started yesterday with doing a google search for FREE WORDPRESS TEMPLATE and found some really nice templates.
The first website I viewed was http://wordpresstemplates.name . I was shocked to see such good quality templates for free.
I decided on this template first to play about with:
SEE HOW TO INSTALL A WORDPRESS TEMPLATE HERE
OK I was a fool to think I could step back into Web Design and it all come flooding back. My kind fella got me installed with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator so I can work on my laptop as sitting at a desktop 30 weeks pregnant isn’t very comfy at all he he. But after updating it and reading through some great tutorials on how to create a wordpress template and after advice from the ever trusty Sitepoint users I’ve decided just to get away from this dam basic blue wordpress template I’m going to have to find and learn how to install a free template until my skills are up to scratch. At least that way I can learn how to edit the .css files etc and add plug-ins etc.
Ive also decided to start designing some basic html pages in .PSD again also so I can get ideas flowing and designs built for upcoming designs and pages before I code them.
I really have to realise i cant just step into this and expect a professional website up in a few days, this is going to take alot of work. Ill post some things here once Ive done being creative
See you later all
Well, I have just been back to an old haunt. The Sitepoint forums. I used to hang around there alot before Igot out of the loop. I made a new account as i couldn’t remember my old one and have started reading there posts and even set up a link to this website in my signature. I’m not expecting lots to visit this website but if Ican get a few that can maybe give me good advice and help me on my way I’m going to appreciate that very much.
To be honest I really don’t know what to do next with this site. There’s so much I want to do, but I’m unsure whats more important. At the moment this theme looks horrible, but I promised myself I would not get a generic Theme or post someone Else’s work but for me to create a theme I’m a long way off that me thinks so im going to leave it this basic colour and hopefully people will understand why.
I always jump into things and I’m hoping by taking my time and pacing myself on this site, people will be patient but see its an important part of my journey to stop it being a whim
So..Well its Saturday so i cant do loads today as i promised my little girl to take her to the park, but hopefully later on, I can start posting some more content and maybe even get some scans of my artwork uploaded.
Take care all see you later x
