Heya!

As you may know, I've been spending the last week celebrating the launch of my very own website (bluedinosaur.art/) and aside from a few minor issues the websites maiden voyage has been a complete success! With a little over 250 paid and unpaid members, and tonnes of feedback, both good and constructive. Before I get into anything else, I'd first like to give everyone who is giving this website a chance a very big and warm thank you. Your continued support really does mean the most to me, and lets me continue my work as an artist <3

Now, onto the juicy stuff ^^

I'll be keeping to my one-page-a-week schedule for the time being, with the new page posted every Friday on all platforms, with paid members getting the latest most page. Unpaid site members being two pages behind, and the public/my other socials, being four pages behind. I'd like to eventually ramp up to two pages per week, but we'll have to see how the website goes over the next few months.

But Riddlr, you may be asking, how did you get this awesome, sleek and wonderful site???

Well, that all came down to the awesome help of my new friend, and webmistress,  elaraheart (Basically everything after this point is me heaping praise on her amazing work, but if you're after a website yourself, it'll be well worth the read!!!)

After I put out a journal asking for help with making a site  zeofawx (the helpful little guy) showed her the journal, and she contacted me. Originally, I was just looking for a bit of guidance on how to go about making a site, then I found out just how hard it actually is, and that Elara actually makes websites for a living! The choice became increasingly obvious that it'd be much easier to just pay her to make it for me, and boy am I glad I did. ^^

Que some negotiation, and a lot of planning Elara set to work making the site, she gave me updates, and walked me through absolutely everything. There were many afternoons spent figuring out what art I wanted up, how I wanted pages laid out, and even the colour palette. She really let me get my grubby little claws into every part of the site, all without having to deal with any of the messy bits. Heck, she even has a payment plan if you're interested in getting a site for yourself! :3

And as an aside, not only does she do an phenomenal job with websites, but she also does graphic design (she did everything save for the drawing of riddlr and the diapers for this piece: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62661543/) AND on top of that, she also does marketing, which is super helpful when you're trying to launch a site like I am.

In summary, I can safely say that not only did I get a perfect website that fulfils like, everything I wanted or could possibly need. But I also made a wonderful friend in the process~ ^^

Thanks again to Elara, Zeo, and of course, to every single one of you who allow me to continue making art for this community <3 <3 <3
