gwendolyngreyNot wanting to be left too far behind the wave, I've caved and created a costume blog.
It seems to be "the thing" right now, and honestly, after listening to Abby's (of Stay-ing Alive) presentation on historical blogging at the recent symposium, I've been terribly inspired to give it a go. In the last two years, blogs... good blogs... have been springing up like mad, and it really does seem as if that's where the action will be for the immediate future. Abby's presentation was really wonderful, and the results of the survey of other bloggers that she conducted yielded some very interesting and useful pieces of information. Unsurprisingly, it is the blogs that post regularly, preferably every day, that get the most views and followers... I'll have to work hard at that considering my typically sporadic output.
Livejournal is invaluable when it comes to social interacting and nothing can beat its friend's page and privacy/filter settings. However, my LJ is so unfocused and full of day-to-day stuff that I feel like most of my costume content gets buried.
Link to the blog: Idlewild Illustré. And my username there is the same as here: "idlewildgrey".
I still need to back back through my f-page and follow people... but yeah. Follow me! I actually have several posts planned ahead and hope to keep up a fairly steady stream of content. All costume and art though. Personal stuff stays here. ;)
