Layout Archives

[Crystal]

I've considered making a layout archive but I've really only gotten as far as keeping screenshots of my old layouts. xD

I thought about keeping an archive, but then I realized I only ever do one version of something and it stays up for years and years, so an archive is useless to me. XD

Even if there's only one version, it's kinda nice to see a collective of all your stuff side by side! XD Many of my sites have only had one version so far as well (and possibly always will lol). I don't know if it's a matter of backlogging 'versions' for me, it's more about seeing a collection of my graphic work next to one another. You should consider making one! :D

I'm slowly making progress with my archive. I have a single shift tomorrow so I should get to it at noon... But with this many screenshots it won't be ready till next week. Got a double shift on Saturday so I'll be posting here that day instead of working on the archive.

And I know that I would anyway save pictures of well-made sites for inspiration and if a person has one site with a layout that I like, I will go look up everything else that person has done regardless of my interest in the subject, so layout archives help in that sense.

A layout archive is something I've been wanting to do for the longest time. I think the biggest obstacle I'll have to overcome is deciding on a title. But at least my domain and one of my fanlistings have their own little archives already, so that's a start.

I'll have to set aside some time to look through others' archives. :) Maybe it will motivate me.

I have that same problem! A title always seems to be the thing that makes or breaks a site for me. D:

Well to be honest, if someone wanted to see all my stuff side by side, they can just visit my collective? I mean, I rarely change layouts (if I do, it's going to rain monkies!). I also do a really similar style and most of my templates look the same, so it'd be a very bland archive. I guess I really don't feel/have the need to make one. I initially had thought about it, but it was just a passing thought that faded away. ^^;

I decided to make a layout archive on tumblr thanks to Aku iirc. At first I was just going to add domain layouts but since I've been taking my time to change them I decided to add fanlistings and shrines too. The principal reason to add fls/shrines is it that I'm planning to revamp a lot of them. Right now I just have stuff from this year tho, still trying to decide if I'll add old stuff or not.

I finally got this place up :D Silver Star, my layout archive.

Okay I sort of broke down and made an archive after thinking about it for a while. I'm only posting the layouts I'm proud of, and want to revamp others so I can put them on here. After 4 hours of screen capping and uploading, I has produced Monstre Belle. My subdomain didn't take long to propagate so it's online now. I used tumblr for convenience's sake.

Tumblr doesn't have many nice free themes so I just went with this one. Now that I look at it, I kinda do like how everything looks together side by side. xD
