This month I’ve undertaken a HUGE task of bringing all of my chickens home to roost on my own website. It’s going to take time to move all of the archives, but now everything (blog, newsletter, shop, portfolio, microblog) all live under sarahshotts.com

I’m also taking this opportunity to make my website more me. It was previously very minimalist in the fine art style. I’ve retained that for my gallery / portfolio, but bringing in more texture and personality to the rest of my site.

For example. My broken link page:

Screencap of Sarahshotts.com 404 page. "You've fallen down a rabbit hole" and Tenniel illustration of White Knight from Alice in Wonderland stuck upside down with his legs poking out of the ground. "What you're looking for is no longer at this location."

I’m also working really hard on alt text for accessibility and moving posts one at a time because trying to import them was (and always is) a big mess.

I’ve spent SO MUCH time on it this month, but moving forward I’ll try to archive March posts in March and then I’ll be done by this time next year.

I wrote a bit about the process (and 90’s nostalgia) here.
