I have been posting my work online for quite a number of years now, since 2004 I think. I have gone through a number of iterations with various blogs on blogspot and then using wordpress.org. Some people have followed me throughout and for that I am very grateful. When I started this website, I originally wanted the domain to be my name, Carolyn Pappas. Unfortunately, someone else with the same name had already claimed that domain so I made another choice.
After much thought and finding a number of other Carolyn Pappases out there, I also decided to use my middle initial A. A few months ago, I discovered that the domain that I originally wanted was now available, so I snatched it up. I have set up a new website at carolynapappas.com and I have decided that I will make it my new home. Knowing that people will inevitably forget the A, I have also set up carolynpappas.com to automatically redirect people to my new website. I am planning on leaving my blog here intact as an archive of my progress. I realize that changing domains can be disruptive to readers and I didn’t approach it as a minor decision. I am comfortable knowing it was the best decision for me.
I have altered the design slightly, making it more clean and simple. The biggest changes are that I have eliminated the sidebars and added content to the footer instead. This allows me to use bigger images to showcase my artwork more. I have also set up a mobile friendly version so it can be comfortably viewed on a smartphone. It is still a work in progress but I am planning to keep things simple and uncluttered.
I feel that my artwork and creative life in general is taking on a new direction lately and I hope you will join me. I am planning on focusing more on my writing and making more imaginative and fun artwork. I already have a blog post published for you to read as well.
