Answering Your Questions


Okay, so now that you all have asked some questions over at this post, I'm going to answer them!  I will go in chronological order of when I received them.

Q: Do you have a free stuff section with all of your free downloads in one place?
A: I didn't, but now I do!  You can find it up on the menu bar by clicking the "freebies" button.  And I have some more freebies in mind to share with you all, so keep your eyes peeled.

Q: When do you do most of your design work?  (Morning, lunch break, evening after school is done...)
A: I do most of the work in the evenings and on weekends.  Occasionally, I take some time for design work during the day, but usually that time is occupied with schoolwork.  Generally, the same goes for blogging.  When I have the time, I stockpile posts for future days.

Q: Do you ever come up with an idea while you are out and don't write it down, and then can't remember it later?
A: Good question!  I can't remember a specific time when this happened, but then again, I usually don't think about design ideas when I'm out running around.  In terms of finding inspiration around me, though, I think it probably would be helpful to write things down or keep a camera handy.  I did this on a trip to Ikea, and I actually found some neat inspiration!

Q: I have a question on the music post you did.  How did you make the names into the links like that?  I am about to add a music page to my own blog, and I've been trying to figure out how.
A: Oh, this is one of my favorite things about blogging - links!  In my post editor, there's a button along the top that says "link" with blue underlining on it.  If you highlight the text you want linked, and then click on that button, a box will come up where you can type in the link.  There's probably a way to do it with HTML code if you don't have that button, but I don't know how that works.  I'd Google search it. :)  Oh, and about the Grooveshark links, if you click on a little arrow icon on the song box (assuming you're going from your "now playing" menu), there should be a button that says "share," and then one that says "friends."  If you click those buttons, another box will come up that gives you the direct links.  I hope that helps!
