Inspiration overload » March 3rd, 2008 · See comments
It seems like such a long time ago now that I was feeling overwhelmed. I’ve stopped worrying about stuff over which I have no control, and I’ve sorted out and completed all the tasks that should have been done sooner. My inbox is still clear, and my bookcase is now clean. I even washed my car last night – that’s just how productive I have been recently.
For those of you who I haven’t prodded yet, go and visit Rawrr. It’s a brand new website (kind of) that’s a project of mine I’ve been working hard on. It’s growing little by little, but already gets more visitors than this site does. Maybe that’s because it’s the novelty of it being new?
And while you’re at it, go and visit CSSbake as well. That’s a slightly larger project I’ve been working on with Ben. I had the idea, he had the knowhow. Together, I think we’ve come up with a pretty good “CSS gallery with a twist”, because there are already far too many “normal” CSS galleries out there.
After seeing Melissa’s gorgeous new layout, it inspired me to work on bringing back my listings collective. I closed it due to losing motivation, but now I have motivation again and I want to bring it back and give it the attention it deserves. It also helped that Melissa was my one and only affiliate.
I’m also going to try and open a subdomain where I discuss my insane passion for all things musical. I have way too many gig pictures sitting around on my hard drive that I could share with people.
I’m also busy working away for new content on this site right here, so keep your eyes peeled (well, not literally) for some rambling about my “gaming”. I say that in inverted commas because I’m really not much of a gamer. I just love cute stereotypical girly games.

Being overloaded with inspiration is much better than not being inspired at all, right?
I love how Rawrr and CSSbake are coming along; I hope that they continue growing and blossom into extremely popular sites. Also, I think it’d be nice to see new projects/content here, gig pictures and all. I’m glad that you’re inspired… you’re producing good things.
Yay for new projects x]
on CSS Bake “and it’s workers” should be “and its workers”. It was bugging me heh.
I do love your new sites. I can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeve next.
Huzzah! Yeah I need to get my collective finished, heh.
Lemme know when you have yours up! 
Me likes Rawr and CSSBake…I will link them.
I agree, there are too many “normal” CSS galleries. I appreciate your and Ben’s twist on it, definitely! It makes it more enjoyable to browse through in contrast to your usual screencaps and links. Woot!
I’ve been feeling really inspired too. Perhaps too inspired? I’ve been wanting to start up so many projects and make so many subdomains… I have to think realistically – when I stop being so excited, I’ll just feel unmotivated and have way too many projects to deal with.
All these new layouts! And I haven’t got a single bit of inspiration left within me to make anything better than my current layout.
By the way, the default font size here is too small on my monitor. It looks just right when I click Ctrl+”+” though.
I love being inspired, because I love to help people. I like to think that I was inspired for most of 2007, and looking at the results, I think I am right. Inspiration is great, but it’s still important to not take on too many big things, because it can also be fleeting. And when you’re uninspired and useless, following an extended period of greatness, it hurts pretty hard. I suppose it’s motivation to become re-inspired, but that can be difficult. Sometimes it’s just luck that lets you catch the wave, I guess!
Please pass on some inspiration?
Yeah, new sites tend to get a lot of visitors. I remember when I first opened my blog and saw the hits, I thought “omg, I’m so popular!” But it didn’t last
Yes indeedy, I’m with Kaylee! I’d love to have some of that inspiration in order to get all the things done that have been in store for longer than is required to make them stale. Good luck with all those projects!
Inspiration is attacking me too right now! Maybe it’s the time of the year? hehe
I just put up a new layout in my website, and I’m already designing the next one. That, and a new layout for my button rotation that has the same dreadful layout since Summer ‘07. I’ve been also thinking to create Wordpress themes to give away, replacing the crappy ones that I have on my site already. I love being inspired 
I love all the cute games too! Looking forward to the music site as I’m sure you’ll make it worth a bookmark.
CSSbake looks pretty cool! I love the whole idea of a website being a cake that needs ingredients!
Yey for inspiration, let’s hope it’s contagious.
