So, how do you like our new digs? Exactly like the old ones, right? Well, not exactly. There’s a shiny new .com name, and a lot of headaches behind the scenes for Catwoman and I. Half of yesterday was spent trying to make this new blog look like the old one (functioning, hah), even though I hate the theme. I picked it, but I hate templates. So boring, so uncreative. So not me. Anyway, I had to go through all of the old posts and re-edit them because the embedded video got broken in the move. Not enough bubble wrap. So they’re all fixed, and tonight, as I recover from another bloodletting (the Red Cross seriously stalks me — must be my super blood), I’ll fix up the pictures and start playing with the CSS code itself.
But since we’re in the process of building the website and revamping the blog and just doing everything over, now’s as good a time as any to ask: what would you like to see? We have a few major plans up our sleeves, and there will be loads more pictures of us (as opposed to us snapping everyone else), but what else would you like to see? It can vary from colour schemes to layouts to what sort of pictures or videos we should start doing, or even costume suggestions. Between geek code building sessions I’m also going to start making pattern pieces for the Mystery Costume, because I need to get cracking on it, but even with a project literally in hand, I’m already looking ahead.
We’re also looking at some public appearances to show off our hard work on costumes and drum up some new fans. Besides Comic-Con, WonderCon and Dragon*Con, are there any other fanboy meetups or conventions that we could probably get to without too much travel that would appreciate what we do? I’m already planning on Comic-Con, to show off the Mystery Costume and also get Sergio Aragonés (Mad Magazine) to sign some books for me, since I couldn’t make last year’s convention, and we’re currently scrambling to see if we can still make WonderCon and maybe crash somewhere for free.
Anyway, any and all feedback would be appreciated and taken seriously. You’re the people that make or break this website!
Okay, I have to get back to optimizing feeds. A superhero and a supergeek! I need this shirt:
