Outside the Envelope Bloggers


Gave it a space of its own on Outside the Envelope. Will see how it goes.

I thought about doing this as an award but... that makes it seem everyone who gets it should actually be professional, polished and really good at it. I don't want to exclude people like myself who don't have any real skill just blundering along and having fun trying. So anyone who tries is welcome as well as those who really are good at creating, coding, drawing and illustrating and make people like me jealous or at least very wishful.

So, this is here for anyone who wants to join up a group of creative bloggers. Every Monday (not for any good reason) create a blog entry which uses some other art form, not the standard typed post. Think along the lines of mail art, anything you can stuff into or onto an envelope. But, in this case it has to fit into a blog post.

I think it's a step in the direction of re-making blogs as they once were. Long ago in the dinosaur age when blogs were about fun, creativity and trying it out in order to learn HTML and testing your own power as someone who can bring their own ideas and adventures to the Internet through web publishing.

Just let me know so we can build a list, visit back and forth and roll it up into a blogroll when it's more than just me talking to myself.

What a cool idea. I just got a great new scanner, so I'll try it out tonight (or next monday)!
