Announcement: All out of Inspiration, but Easier to Share.

Kat Johnston - I'm all out... Inspiration is not forthcoming. Today is a bust.

No really… today is a bust. You’re getting a woman with wonky eyes and a repetition of flies because I’m entirely tapped. Inspiration is not forthcoming since my head is rather focused on my university work at the moment, and has gone entirely out of creative mode for the day.

Now for the fun stuff. I’ve added another little feature to the individual post pages which I hope will be helpful. There is now an easy button to mouse-over at the bottom of each post page to send the link to various social bookmarking sites, to e-mail the post to friends, or bookmark it in your browser.

Announcement: All A-twitter and now on Flickr.

Kat Johnston - Flies are flies and they fly most flyfully... that makes no sense.

Three pictures of flies in a row, and I can tell that it is starting to become a mini-obsession… but that is generally the way it is, when I find something that tweaks my interest enough. It will grab me for a few days straight, then become a ‘regular’ obsession, to join all the rest. I don’t think that this picture is done… but I need to throw up something today, so this is it.

Just an update on the site and on me: I’ve added a twitter feed to the sidebar, so if you pop by throughout the day, you can see what I’m up to! Either that, or you can follow me on twitter itself – my username is KatJohnston, or just click here to see my current profile page.

I have also set up a Flickr account, and have uploaded two sets of photos taken of my wonderful city. You can find them here and here. I will be periodically adding to the Flickr photos and will update you as they become available.

Announcement: I appeal to you for help.

Some may be aware, and others not, that I am utilizing this website for my major project this semester. I’m looking at the concept of personal branding for creative practitioners within the visual arts field utilizing primarily web 2.0 technologies.

So, without going into too much further detail, I’d like to know what you would like to see here, or what I can do that you think might be a great way to promote this site. I’m still new to all this stuff, so I could really use your help to get my name, and my work, out there!

Please leave comments with any suggestions, thoughts, etc, and I’ll do what I can to build this into a site we can all enjoy. If you link to my site, or list it anywhere, I’d also like to hear about that too. Every little bit counts and I’d love to see people getting involved!

Jenny is Suitably Impressed.

Kat Johnston - Nothing makes a girl happy like a rat infestation and a top-hat.

A second picture post for today, to celebrate the fact that I just checked, and www.katjohnston.com comes first for a search for (you guessed it) the search term ‘Kat Johnston’! Considering that the page has only been live for a grand total of 4 days, I think that is pretty good. In proper celebratory style, I enjoyed a small bowl of peppermint choc-chip ice-cream. It was most delicious.

Jenny is making a reappearance, this time with her bevy of rattus rattus to keep her company. She’s much more cheerful this time, as you may note. The girl has a fierce temper, but she does seem to love it when things go right too.

Announcement: We’re Live!

After a few good weeks of frustration, late nights, and other such fun, www.katjohnston.com is up and running. Thank you to all who have shown me support as I’ve developed this site. There are still a few little things to iron out: eg, the dark comment text… don’t worry, I’m working on it!

The gallery will be updated with content as soon as possible.

So… please update your bookmarks to this new site, tell all your friends about it, and I may just give you a cookie. A virtual cookie. Mmmm, cookies.
