Today I spent building the Horses and Elephants blog. It is all in the detail. The old site had the banner head just across about half of the page. I found out how to have it across the whole page. It is bolder. There were lots of fiddly bits and pieces to attend to and I found myself using the same template for the Writing Habit website.
And I was happy, till my fifteen-year-old daughter came home.
I showed her the websites. She didn’t like the Writing Habit. ‘I just don’t like the typeface.’ she said. I told her that it wasn’t meant to be that serious. She said the typeface just put her off. We then had supper.
I kept thinking about this. What was I meant to do? I decided to dump the old banner and try something new. I picked up a pen, took a page out of a notebook and wrote ‘The Writing Habit’. Then I took a photo with my mobile, uploaded the image and did a bit of work in Photoshop.
‘Yes, Daddy, that’s much better.’
And, to be honest, she was right. It is better.
