Exciting site updates!

I'm excited to tell you about some updates the site has been undergoing these last few weeks:

My blog has a domain name - sparrow.nu!

I actually owned this domain name a few years ago and was happy to see no one had taken it over the last few years after I let it expire. To clarify, I still host my blog at  http://blogger.com, however, I have linked a domain I purchased through http://nunames.nu to the blog. That way, I can still enjoy free hosting, have my own "domain" for 18 euros a year and not break the bank!

New Portfolio style pages:

Blogger has very little in the way of customization, so using tables - divs and a bit of creative CSS I put together a "Pinterest" like style of organizing my past posts that are much more visual. I'm very happy with the result :)

I've done this with most of my main pages including "Recipes" and "Travel". 

I hope to incorporate some old materials I had at other sites like tutorials, quotes, graphics and a better portfolio of some graphic and web design I have done in the past.

More Photography:

Since purchasing an SLR camera during Black Friday last year, I've been steadily trying to improve the quality of the photos I take. I'm realizing more and more that there are different techniques for photographing food vs. people vs. landscapes.

Better Content:

Looking back at a lot of my earlier stuff, I notice that I didn't put as much time and effort into researching background information on my topics. Rather than blogging for the sake of blogging, I want to make this a fun process for me too.

Thanks for reading :)
