Well that didn't work. I never did learn to build a tolerable blog, and instead went to tumblr. I decided tumblr isn't so hot, so I decided to come back. So here I am, again trying to learn blogger. I have a real goal in mind: a blog for vintage advertisements. I have a pretty large collection of magazines from the 60's-90's and have begun scanning them and editing them to post online.
I want to build a blog that will update itself every day, so I can make a bunch of posts on the weekend and let posts happen all week. Beyond that, I might write short articles explaining interesting aspects of the ads that most people wouldn't get (such as in vintage car ads, I'd explain the history of the car in question). Or perhaps spark a little discussion about the social aspects of the ad (sexism, stereotypes, which shirts were the whitest).
Anyway, I'll be tweaking this blog's look and format and hopefully get something I can translate directly to my new blog. Woop!
Jump break! Yep. It works.
