Mom is Just a Nickname

I’m trying to put a new website up right now. A self hosted Word Press blog along with a forum and some other things. I’m struggling a little bit with the design aspects, simply because I’m not sure how I want it to look.

Although I have a thought out view of what I want the content of the site to be, including a handful of articles already mapped out, I don’t have a clear idea of the tone and feel the site should have.

Tone and feel are so often set by the color and graphics on a site. When I tried a white background on this site, my friends told me that it looked cold and sterile and totally unlike the tone of my writing.

So, I’m taking that into consideration as I make the new site. In the past, I’ve preferred white backgrounds when designing sites. It’s easier in many ways to have a white background, at least for an amateur designer/coder like me. All backgrounds are set to white and it’s no big deal! I don’t want my new site to feel cold though, so I’m still playing with it.

This morning is going to be busy. I’ve got X’s Mommy and Me class followed immediately by lunch and book fair at J’s school. It’s supposed to get downright hot here today, in the upper 80′s, but with storms and a weather change overnight. It’s kind of weird, because I can already feel the weather change coming in my hands. They’ve been fine for almost the last week, but this morning I woke up with my knuckles feeling swollen. I had even dreamed that they were stiff and sore and swollen.
