New website! And even then I complain...

But weebly. WEEBLY! You are a ton simpler to work with than wix was. This is true and it's also true that you're unlikely to kick me out of my own admin area. So I should be standing here and clapping my hands! And I am! Except for one tiny tiny thing...which yes, it's always the small stuff that makes the best of things still bother that one little spot in a mind. 

I still want to know why it costs $49 to use my own domain I bought elsewhere! Sure, sure,  if rachburns.us now goes to rachburns.weebly.com, SURELY people are wise enough to know that it's the same person. Surely it's only me worrying, because that's entirely what I'm good at. That and complaining. But you knew that already.

Worst part is, if I were as good at my craft and advertising my work as I am at whining, I'd easily have plenty to do this. 
I have got to learn to advertise better. And to get better with my work. Those two are a lot easier than not whining all over so I already have them kicked. (Soon as I learn how to advertise better, anywho.)

  1. I don't know if you've seen my latest concept website posted on DreamCreativer, but I could see if I can come up for anything for you if you like.

    1. I have, and it looks very nice! Count me interested to see what you could do. ^^

    2. I notice that you tend to use a lot of blues, greys, and blacks in your websites. Is that a particular preference? Given your last name, would you be open to something more "fire" (burns) oriented? Is there a color scheme or theme you'd like me to work with?

    3. Have to answer your question to your first post. Sorry!

      Hm. It's something of a preference because it doesn't contrast my pictures too much and it doesn't give as much eye burn as some other backgrounds I've come across. Though I'd be interested if you can manage a fiery style that won't overwhelm. (Colors are workable in many ways, after all!)

    4. I like that first one for certain. You are quite good with this! Love that flame in the back. XD

      My email isn't to rachburns.us, unfortunately. I couldn't afford both the domain and email at the time of purchase. That would need directed to rachel.burns2@yahoo.com. (It shouldn't be hard to do a redirect email but I don't know how by myself.)

    5. Thank you for letting me borrow space! And for doing all this much for free. I don't have anything extra right now but I should at the beginning of next month if you'd like anything at all?

      That night picture on the right wasn't finished in favor for the one I put on Pokemon Inferno. So if you could please replace it with http://rachburns.deviantart.com/art/Firelord-Norux-511637964 that'd be perfect. And I'm already looking for four more pieces that are finished--would you prefer me to set them on imgur or just link them from dA?

    6. If you just link them from dA, that's enough. As long as dA doesn't give me problems with hotlinking, there's no reason to stash them elsewhere.

      And I still need a third-person self-summary from you.

    7. Rachel is an artist who enjoys depicting characters and the story around them. She's worked with the digital medium for about 10 years, each new piece of art a challenge to get better at her craft.

      (And I'm not sure if that's even close to what you need. ^^; Feel free to edit if you need!)

    8. Good enough for me, but you decide if you want something longer. I definitely wouldn't go any shorter though.

    9. I think I'll keep it as it is, then. I don't have the words for much else as of now. ^^;
