Animated Gifs and Ice Cream

June 6, 2015

I spent some more time playing around with the website. Weekends can be even more isolating. I hardly ever see anyone during the day, and on occasion on weekdays I see people at night. However, on weekends, there is rarely anyone around. People are busy with their families, and I am...well, just here.The need to keep the mind on useful things is important. Several people had suggested that a site about animation should be more animated. To that end, I created and put up a bunch of animated gifs on the front page and added one to the banner. People find their way to this site from various searches, links and social media sites. Many visitors may not know anything more about the site than the section they happen to land upon, so I try to come up with ways to give people a taste of some of the other sections they can visit. To that end, I added a little banner with rotating animated gifs to share a few animations and other projects on the site. I figure this is a good way to see if it encourages more people to visit a larger number of sections in the site. This whole site design and marketing thing is a job in and of itself, besides just trying to create some interesting art and storytelling.That part of the day was productive enough. I tend to get caught on some technical web issue or another when I make changes. It can be challenging to place items exactly as you want, so I post tech questions on forums, hoping to get answers.It was another evening of ice cream and walking around with a few friends, which is even more rare on a weekend. Sometimes it is good to just get out and walk around for a change.
