nemoorange.com

We've moved to a new location!

I’ve decided to close up shop at nemoorange.com and start a-new at desandro.com. Now that I am pursuing a career as a web designer, I needed a website that best reflected my abilities. While I stand behind the work first published on this site (well, most of it), the overall mass of content grew to be too large and too diverse to be managed properly. A blank canvas allowed me to stretch some new abilities and take things in a new direction.

Also, nemoorange.com is a silly, silly URL.

When I first started the site, I wanted everything to be in the same place. But now I see the benefits of diversification. Flickr is the best place for photos. Delicious is the best place for links. These sites offer more robust tools and options for organizing and viewing the content. Best of all, all that content lives segregated from the other stuff, so you can view and follow it at your own discretion.

Moving forward, desandro.com will be the new source for my articles and fun-time designs. I’ve built the back end to be flexible enough to accomodate a variety of content formats, so expect to see posts similar to the new moon project. I’m also maintaining dropshado.ws, my graphic design blog geared towards new designers just like me.

But I’m not going to scrap this site entirely. As embarrassing as some of the content might become, I’ve chosen to let it live on in a dormant state. I still have friends and family that visit the photo section for the sake of nostalgia. And I think I’ll continue updating the word list. Who knows, I might eventually use the URL for something completely new. But don’t hold your breath.
