All right, you've been hearing about it for a few weeks now. I've been working away on a big project and coyly have not shared with anyone just what that project might be. Well, now that it is near completion I feel a huge sense of relief and finally have time to fill people in on it. You see, I've been working on a whole new home page. (Egads, you say, isn't Rangy Lil's enough for you?) Well, yes it is. But I've been creating a home page for a friend of mine, and it is very nearly done. That may not seem like such a huge project...but for this one I had to create all custom graphics. Wheee!!
Now, I don't have one of those big fancy programs like Photoshop to work with, but I did download a nice program that offered some pretty neat effects. I spent this week creating backgrounds, buttons, headers, etc., and basically having a ball! The header and background on this page are my own creations. This background is pretty simple really, especially compared to some of the rich textures you'll see on the new pages. I'm hoping that everyone will drop by and check out my handiwork once it is uploaded.
(Oh dear, this introduction to the upcoming new section is not coming out the way I had planned. Well, you'll have to bear with me, I'm afraid.)
As you all know, Rangy Lil is my alter-ego; she's the virtual mistress of this virtual establishment. I've been told that this is a comfy, homey sort of place, and that's exactly the way I want it. But I'd like to introduce you to a place that is very different from Lil's Bar and Grill... For one thing, it's real! You may know that I enjoy going out to play pool and dance on Friday nights, and that I have a favourite bar. Well, sooner or later it was inevitable that I would pair my newly acquired html skills with my Friday night outings. And so I approached Bill, the owner of the bar, with a proposal to create and maintain a home page for him. He liked the idea, gave me the green light, and I set to work. Now, being a commercial page I was not able to use many of the graphics available on the web, and besides, I wanted it all to look original. So I embarked upon the graphics design adventure I mentioned earlier, and it has been most satisfying. And here I am, the pages are basically complete, only a couple scans still to be done. And of course, then I have to get Bill's final approval... But otherwise, you can expect to see a new link here at Rangy Lil's to the home page of Burty Bob's II in the next week. Please watch for it, check it all out and let me know what you think!
And, now that the bulk of the work on that is done (except of course for regular updates *sigh*:), I can get back to Lil's...things are getting a little dusty around here! So thanks for your patience, and check back soon to see the new sections!
Project!!
