Yet Another Blargh

So it's been many years since I seriously used a publicly hosted blogging service and the first time I've used one in a more professional(?) attempt.

I'm currently in the process of redesigning my website from the ground up. I've decided that instead of hosting one on my own site, I would instead use a service like this and put an RSS feed on the site for layout integration. This has a couple advantages. One is that I'll never have to worry about server migration of Movable Type or Wordpress scripts in fact, I don't have to worry about managing my own service. The second is that a blog on a public service is more publicly visible, even if just a little, and I certainly want to share with more of an audience. You're more likely to have a random person come across your posts and make friends as I learned many years ago.

I'm still finalizing my decision on what service to use. But publishing a post and seeing how it works is part of the process.

Truly Finished Animation

So like I said before, I felt that perhaps more drawings needed to be added to the animation of Ayu...so I did just that- and the result are smoother ease-ins and better timing all around that I feel takes the animation from just being animated to feeling more like a living picture. BEHOLD. Now I just need to After Effects the two together and sync up the audio.
