You’re My Obsession: Video Killed the Interwebs Star

Fine. “Killed” might be a bit melodramatic.

Hi! So, if it’s not your first time here, one thing that I’ve been obsessed with will be obvious. A new design and logo for Inward Facing Girl! Yay! Surprise!

Funny thing is that it was a surprise to me too. Late Friday afternoon I decided to migrate my Squarespace 5 account over to Squarespace 6. I had been wanting to experiment with some new social media buttons and buttons for some of my post topics, so opened Illustrator and started playing around. Then, I’m looking at the choices I have for Squarespace 6 themes and thinking about how I can modify them, then it’s 3:30 AM on Saturday morning and I have a brand new website. And THAT, my friends, is where obsession will lead you.

I have other obsessions for you too, of the video variety. Here are the best ones I’ve seen lately. My husband will tell you that it takes a LOT to make me take the time to watch a video, so trust me. If I’m sharing it, I love it. I hope you do too. xo

What do you think about the new design? I’d love to know!  Also, if have a minute, I have a super fast three question survey for those of you who are interested in learning more about blogging, social media, design, photography, or creativity. I sent this survey out to my newsletter subscribers last week. If you’d like to be part of my mailing list, you can sign up here. I promise I don’t just ask annoying questions. I also publish articles that aren’t included on this blog and tell you about special stuff that’s coming up before I write about it here. And there is new stuff coming up very soon! :) 

Okay, that’s more than enough of me today. I’ll see you guys tomorrow! xo
