About Seasonal Plume
Seasonal Plume is an online writing and literary blog by myself (Angela), containing personal commentary on various literary/writing odds and ends that strike my fancy. Previously, it was plainly a plethora of odds and ends and various other Angela!junk, but now it’s fixed up proper and spiffy.
The domain was first purchased on April 2003 and was hosted on Skylight Media ♥ before moving to Angela’s own hosting domain, Indisguise.
Why “Seasonal Plume”?
The answer is simple: I write rather seasonally. I can go on weeks without writing anything literary in nature, and then go through a length of time where I keep writing poems, short stories, and the like. Hence, I write in my seasonal plume.
Tools and Credits
- PHP, MySQL and Apache - I develop on my laptop (named Darcy ♥) with a local server, so that I’m sure things will look spiffy once I put things on my online space. Currently I’m running PHP 5.2, MySQL 4.1, and Apache 2.2 on my local.
- WordPress and lots of plugins - I’ve fallen in love with WordPress, even though I took a while before I was convinced to try the blogging/CMS platform out. It can sometimes be a pain to customize, but managing is a breeze.
- Adobe Photoshop - I usually start off with a design study for whatever layouts I create. Some studies get scrapped early on; sometimes they get scrapped even though I’ve spent a lot of time on them; and sometimes they stick.
- WACOM Graphire 2 - Designing with a pen tablet is so easy ♥
