KD at surreally.com has generously provided me with space at a subdomain, so my URL is now http://feralliving.surreally.com. Please update your links, thanks.
I was getting tired of various consequences of using blogger.com and hosting at blogspot.com, including occasional crashes, the lack of reliable comment systems (the recent Snor.com crash was the final straw) and the impossibility of hosting graphics or other pages. I have switched to Moveable Type, and here at surreally I’ll be able to put up various other pages as the urge strikes me. The first thing I’ll do in that direction is put the Feral Living Shoe Project on its own page, hopefully before the end of the year.
You have surely already noticed the new “look”. The move provided a good excuse to redesign everything as well, and this time I had it done by professional designers, D. of bulletproofpunk.com and Ann of www.annelizabeth.co.uk/ (who did the coding).
At the risk of understating his design talents, D. is a design genius. I strongly doubt that any other present I receive this holiday season will provide the same level of joy that his design has. The collaboration with him was simple – I told him I like Longo’s paintings, he rooted around in my archives to get an idea of my writing style and came up with this design, the sheer originality of which totally overwhelms me.
It is a real inspiration. For years I have been designing my own web pages with minimal HTML skills and even less design talent. It was hit-or-miss all the way. But D has shown me just how much you can say in such a simple medium as web design, and it amazes me how much of my personality and writing style he has
captured with his design. Most of you know the feeling of writing stuff, posting it and then wondering whether anyone understood. Well, D. understood, and I
think he’s bringing me up to a new level in the process.
Thanks again D. And thank all of you for visiting. If you already link to Feral Living, please update your links (register with blogdex first, it’s easy); and if you don’t, why not?
P.S.: My list of links didn’t survive the move; I am currently in the process of reconstructing that, but it will take me a while. Thanks for your patience. I’ll be adding several new sites, and although I have no plans to delete any, there’s the chance I’ll miss a few. If you notice my old link to your site is missing and you want it back up, please let me know.
Oh man, this place is even better than I imagined it now that the content is in. Wait until we get all the links working too, then its just gonna “rawk”
Well, it
You going to have a house-warming party then? We could all bring a bottle and a little something to eat! ;
Hey, this is great. you really needed a new home, and this is fantastic. So original, and yet somehow. . .familiar. Comforting. Probably it’s the kilt that speaks to me.
hehehe
I knew the unreliable comments were a source of aggravation, but i had no idea the effect it would have on you. what a silly mig.
it’s wonderful, yet i get a disturbing sense of deja vu…..
i love a man in a skirt, er, kilt.
I see that The Welcome Wagon lady made you nice and comfy. Did she leave you with any coupons for services in your new neighborhood? Make sure you get those. The only thing I don’t like is that it makes me wonder how your fake hair would look in braids. Big props to the F.L. design team.
oh, miguel. you in that kilt. come on up and see me sometime.
this is the funniest thing i’ve seen all day. great work, y’all.
Congrats on the spiffy new look Miguel! :)
Thanks everyone. Now if I could only remember my log-in I could really go to town posting, this is so inspiring.
Wow I love what yall’ve done with the place. Very Miguel.
Saucy kilt.

Shoes! You need the shoes!
Seems like your site is featured on http://www.pirated-sites.com
My question is who stole your web design? Did you steal from them or them from you?
