Hey Mod, do you have any advice for starting up an ask blog? I've been wanting to make one for a while and your blog has been a big inspiration! Hope you're having a nice day, btw! <3
> ("An inspiration?! My blog?! Wow...")
> ("Thank you so much!! I'm so happy to hear that!!")
> ("Starting with the blog itself! Pick a theme that's easy to view and navigate; you don't want to have people getting lost on your page, asking 'where's the next page button?' and etc.")
> ("It's also important to have a readable font and font color! Personally, I think mine could be a little darker, but the theme makes it difficult to change font colors, so I haven't done it yet...;; My apologies...")
> ("The point is that it's important to have a blog that's accessible!")
> ("I also think it's good to have a good tagging system; for me, all in character replies are tagged as #story mode, so people can read it chronologically from the beginning.")
> ("Then there's also the format you post in! It's important to choose a format that's easy to update.")
> ("For me, this means colorless drawings in a loose, sketchy kind of style that I developed specifically for this blog to be easy to draw quickly.")
> ("Not only is it easy for me to update, it keeps me from getting burnt out on one drawing, meaning I can update multiple times at once.")
> ("Which, is another thing! Make sure to take breaks! I know it's a little difficult, because often you might feel obligated to update for your followers, but you must take care of yourself!")
> ("You come first, always! Don't repeatedly post and post and post for your followers and get burnt out. This isn't good for you and it will negatively impact the quality of your work.")
> ("Also on this topic, this is more of general art advice, should you choose art as your medium; if you finish a panel, and it looks bad, then redraw it! I think a lot of people forget that you can do this, but if something turns out bad, move it aside and use it as a reference to redraw it! I can guarantee it will almost always turn out much better!”)
> ("And, of course, most importantly; Have fun!")
> ("And, I mean it! Your blog is yours, not your followers. Don't let anyone get you down for the way you take it, and don't compromise your vision to satisfy anyone else! Have fun with your blog the way you want to!")
> ("*Disclaimer; this should go without saying, but for the record, this does not count if your blog includes topics that are genuinely harmful portrayed in a way that's only meant to be angst-fuel, or portrayed in a positive light, and generally not done respectfully with the proper warnings, etc.")
> ("Anyway. Take care of yourself, have fun, and good luck with your blog!")
