12 years ago, I saw online what had happened before it ever hit the TV news. I didn’t know anyone directly who died; however, a girl from my ‘clan’ on The Palace Chat died while visiting the towers with her school that day. Shame on me, I don’t even remember her screen name (back then, the internet was very anonymous – you didn’t really share your name, even with your online friends). I’ll never forget that.
On to happier news, my very first Spotlight (or Website of the Month) goes to Josie, of Josie’s Dollz. As I mentioned in my post about it, I would have preferred to choose Xandorra — however, that particular doll maker’s website is not online — and I’m not sure how long it has been down now. Maybe I’ll find out later by visiting some cartoon doll forums.
Also, I started the Hand-Picked Tutorials page for my website! For right now, I’m going to focus on adding the tutorials from the websites which I make my “Spotlight” website. I fear if I try to do too much, I’ll get burnt out on my website again. I’m eager to try to make my own dolls again as well, so I’m going to try finding some inspiration in the mean time.
Cheers,
