Creativeherb.com v1.5 – a promise to be less polite.

Blogging

Welcome to the relaunch party of CreativeHerb.com. In case you were wondering, I have been working on a v2.0 total redesign in Illustrator. However, this is version 1.5 because I took the v2.0 design that I was working on, ripped out elements of it and forced it onto my v1.0 design somehow. I wanted to get a new design for my blog out the door, but wanted to spend a few more months working on the v2.0 design. So look for that in the future.

Also with this relaunch, not only does the visuals look sleeker, but I also promise to be less polite. What?

I realized that my previous posts sounded very forced and often awkward. I was basically writing for others and not for myself. Writing flows easily enough for me, so why should I try to sound like something I’m not? I’ve felt so bad about it that I completely stopped blogging. Enough about graphics tutorials. Enough about money saving tips. I’m going to just share my thoughts of the moment because I think they are more than good enough.

    haha thanks, I definitely will. I was almost to the point of stressing myself out trying to find “worthwhile” things to blog about. I think that goes against every fiber of my being as a creative person though. While it is important to provide useful information, I believe the message can be much stronger and unique if it comes naturally. Blog on!

    Just be yourself and blog that way. If other people don’t like it, then to hell with them.

    KevinBanes last blog post..WarhammerBlogs.com is now live!

    that’s true, hopefully I can get in a good blogging habit, even if it is just to record my thoughts, so I can look back 20 years later and have a good laugh. =)

  5. Great idea. You’re going to start writing from the heart now, and I predict it will lead to great things. The next step is to think more interesting thoughts and post more often! I’m liking the stuff about creativity. If you can apply more authenticity to that, you can make a huge contribution to your readers’ lives just through blog articles.

    thanks and welcome to the blog Richard. I usually have my more thoughtful moments away from the computer but I’m trying to figure out a way to fully translate and record my more interesting ideas with less atrophy.
