Artist Title

Today I have cut out the text I created on webeden for the font of my artists name and put it onto my digi pack. This will now be the font that is always used for Summer Thors name.

Text complete

I have now completed the text on the 'About' page. I took some inspiration from other sites when looking how to structure it and what information to contain. I am happy with the page so far although I may decide to change it at a later date knowing me but for now I shall leave it as it is. Below is a link the the page.

Changes to Website

I have decided to remove the link to the social networking sites off my home page as the only well known link was facebook. I am going to try and find a way to just connect a link to facebook without having to use the other networking links along side it.

I am now going to have a look at other websites 'About' pages and see what kind of information they include on there as I would like to get the majority of the content written then I can edit around it.

Background and Social Networking

I have figured out how to change text and add images to my website, so far I have changed the title to the artists name and added the same image that is featured on the back of my digi pack onto my site as the background. At a later date I am going to try and make the images just a border around the edges of my page leaving the center black. I think this will give a simple yet effective look.
I have just set up a Twitter Account for my artist,and embedded a HTML onto the home page of my website so I the tweets appear not just on the artists Twitter account but also on the artist website. This will broaden the ways in which fans can connect with 'SummerThor' and give them a sense of closeness knowing what she is up to throughout her days.
Below is a print screen of the link on my home page, you can also see the changed background. These are only the first things I have done on my website so it's still pretty bare.

Website

I have now set up a url for my website
www.summerthor.webeden.co.uk

I am now in the process of playing around with templates and seeing what works.

WebEden

After facing problems with the school system when it came to the blocking of useful websites we have finally found one that will work on the school systems. We are having a tutorial lesson for the site on Friday the 2nd of March for which I will unfortunately be absent so I have decided to get on and have a look and play around on the site to see if I can get to grips with it. If not I will seek further help when Mrs Aldridge is free but I'm sure in time I'll pick it up. I will blog my progress with the site once I have had a look.

Crucial Parts

From looking at the two artists sites I have now gained an understanding of what main links are needed on an artists official website.
  • Home page
  • Gallery
  • News
  • Log in/sign up
  • About
A video link, youtube link and social networking links may also enhance the website.
