Site updating
Posted on June 16, 2008, by dazzer67, under site info.
Just a brief message about the site. I just upgraded to WP2.5.1 and I had a few issues with the upgrade. They are sorted but, due to my inefficient backing up of the theme, things may look a little weird for a few days. I am sorry about this, but it may be the push I need to get things a little closer to how I really want them.
In the meantime, may your creativity blossom.

Hello world… we’re back!
Posted on April 9, 2008, by dazzer67, under Uncategorized, news, site info.
Well I have managed step one, upgrading to WP 2.5, although there was a slight detour via a server migration. I have to say Wordpress handled it beautifully. I exported the posts and then imported them into this version. We should be working fine now.
I am using the fantastic sandbox theme, although I will be skinning it for !maginality. I have made the decision to make the skinning a viewable process. The reason being that if I leave it hidden, it will be out of sight and possibly out of mind. This way, if it looks bad, I should do something about it.
All the plugins aren’t fully loaded yet either, I’ll be choosing what ones to use and where soon, so hopefully not too much discomfort for those viewing.
Now let’s get back to being creative.

Please fasten your safety belts

The road ahead may be a little bumpy and there may be a little disruption to !maginality in the next few days. I’ll be upgrading to Wordpress 2.5 and I’ll also be taking that time to change the design of the site. A new logo and, therefore, favicon will be available and this will herald in a new era for !maginality.
Sit tight and enjoy

Maintaining

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, but there has been a lot of work going on behind the scenes. Part of this includes a light server change, which is happening very soon. I didn’t want to be fussing with content as I moved things around. But believe me there is plenty of content just around the corner… 2008 is the year for living !maginalitively.

Another apology but creativety abounds in the zone
Posted on November 6, 2007, by dazzer67, under creativity basics, inspiration, news, perspiration, site info.
As you may have noticed by the lack of posts I have been a little busy of late and I don’t see any let up in that in the foreseebale future. However, I will be pressing on with things here.
One thing that often happens with creative poeple is that they get engrossed in what they are doing. The focus is total on the creative task at hand. Whilst this is great for that task, the more routine and mundane tasks that life often demands get left to one side. [Please note that I am not suggesting for one moment that !maginality is a mundane task.] It is no wonder that creative poeople can be hard to live with as they focus on what they are doing rather than the relationships they have.
The danger with such a strict focus is burnout. Creatives will seek the to stay in the zone and the more they cling on the more it can damage. It is all too easy to then look for external stimuli to stay in the zone, excess caffeine and even something a little stronger.
What any creative needs to do is make sure they take downtime, this doesn’t mean they can’t be playing with ideas, taking notes and doodleing, but they should take a break. The batteries need recharging. There is more than one masterpiece in us all.

Things may look a little strange :-)
Posted on April 29, 2007, by dazzer67, under site info.
Yep, I’m finally sorting out the site design. The first major change is the addition of the new logo. I do hope you like it, a nice Web 2.0 feel, a cool colour and the T-shirts will follow.
Seriously though, if the site starts looking a little weird, it means that I have got something a little wrong. But no one ever said creativity is pain free.

One apology, several projects and new horizons
Posted on April 3, 2007, by dazzer67, under news, site info.
I thought it best to write a little apology about the lack of posts recently. I have been particularly busy with one or two other projects and have not been putting in the required amount of perspiration either. This has meant that several posts remain unfinished at this current time. I could have remained quiet and posted another glorious creative quote but thought it best to share my personal creative journey. All well and good me telling you how to be more creative but why not share my hiccups with you aswell.
I currently have several writing commissions and a couple of design commissions too. These are all due to be completed this month and so, more than ever, I need to make sure my preparation time is constructive. The more I can prepare, the more time I can spend being creative with those projects.
One of the design projects is self-commissioned. Namely, the re-design of the Imaginality site itself. The current layout is fine, but I want to create a little more space. This has meant getting to grips with Wordpress and how the templates work within it, and also understanding CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
So, I haven’t been unbusy, but I have neglected sorting out the posts for here. Normal service will be resumed shortly.
