Only two pages to go on my current project, yes! *wipes off sweat* Though it's past midnight already and I barely got any work done today... gonna be a long night. It was a nice day though... summer has returned so I did some unwinding in the sun. Have been reading the latest chapter of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
newscaper's Servare Vitas, which was once again as thrilling and dramatic as the best stuff you get to see on tv (seriously, if you're not already reading this fic, check it out asap (Bonesfic)).
Also, Sudokus are addictive and an efficient way to procrastinate. I'm gonna be evil and share the link that leads to temptation: websudoku.com. Try the 'evil' setting.
I got a cool job offer the other day; topic sounds fun and I'm looking forward to illustrating it. Now, the interesting part was that they got my contact info from the net. From my X-Files fan comic site, to be more exact. When I google my name, that webcomic still shows up at rank 3 or above, while my official, forever-under-construction illustration site appears somewhere on page three or below. Who scrolls down that far? It's useless. I have no idea how to improve the google ranking, so instead I caved and edited in an impromptu link on the comic homepage, until I get myself a proper website. Still very weird. The X-Files site doesn't even get more than a handful of hits these days.
Really, one of these days I will get my own domain, and make a proper webdesign, and keep the site well-maintained and up-to-date and everything. *nods*
...
ach, what the hell. Not exactly the same thing, but I finally got myself a paid LJ account. I have no idea yet what to do with dozens of userpics... I mean, one seems plenty? But 2 gig storage space sound good... plus, an alternative email address that's, quite possibly, even reliable... and I heard through the grapevine about an upcoming, new feature where you can track LJs by tags? Ah well, let's see what the fuss is about. :)
And now, on to work. Those pages won't colour themselves.

Me too. And then we'll go iceskating in hell together, arm in arm. :D
No, seriously, I know what you mean. My site is outrageously out of date, and if it werent' for the good offices of a gifted generous pal, it wouldn't be there at all.
Didn't I learn in some long forgotten Flash class that you can edit your site's meta tags (or whatever they're called) to boost it on google? Or have they long since found a way of thwarting such things?

Yeah, what do they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions? Maybe I should start small by updating my sub domain at illustrator.de. I can worry about web design once I got my own web domain.

Well, there's that thing where you put tags in your meta tag section that have little to do with the site, but that people tend to go for. In other words, secks!!1!. But that sort of thing is frowned upon and at the very least will anger the folks who come to yours site, only to find a dire lack of pr0n. ;) I don't know if it's against the TOS or something... I supposed it would improve the google ranking.
Heh, little anecdote on the side:
But I digress... ;)
Maybe using the site's url as a regular tag in one's posts would help... but I rarely post outside fandom, and I don't want the rl and fandom identity to mesh too much. Tricky.
