History
sit down, young one..
I shall tell you a story
SplatteredCanvas is the sixth site I have owned. Sixth? Well, my websites have been created and destroyed in this order.
| 1. Neo-Faerie Graphics | This was the first one I opened... When I was around 8 or so. Based on neopets graphics... I used MS Paint for most of the graphics, and hosted this one on freewebs. |
| 2. Spikalicious | Very similar to Neo-Faerie, created also when I was 8 years old. This was the first site I used an iFrame on, as well as a .co.nr domain. |
| 3. Zanian | Another .co.nr domain site, but I created it a couple weeks after my 9th birthday. I'd also gotten Photoshop from my father, so the graphics improved around this time. |
| 4. Horcrux | Harry Potter fan site! Well, basically a Harry-Potter themed name with miscellaneous graphics, topics ranging from Neopets to Harry Potter to Celebrity. |
| 5. Alex.Lunascopee | This is when I decided to create a screen name; Alex. It was more of a normal name , and so were the graphics. I started to focus on CSS during this time. |
| 6. SplatteredCanvas | My first purchased domain that my father kindly bought for me. ^^ Nothing to significant to say about SC. Yet. |
SplatteredCanvas.com was created on Thursday; Janurary 24, 2008.
At the time my intentions for the site were based around neopets
graphics, but I've come a long way since then and provide quality
resource and tutorial content. Since March of 2009 SplatteredCanvas
has been known for its shiny vector layouts and fresh design. As of
Janurary 2009 the creation of celebrity layouts and use of copyrighted
images in SplatteredCanvas has been halted to a definite stop, as
all of the existing content featuring copyrighted images have been
creditted appropriately and used with permission.
The name itself, SplatteredCanvas, was thought of by Dretta herself.
After going through numerous name combinations, SplatteredCanvas just
ended up sounding the best and related to what the site would provide
the best. The domain was created near the first of Janurary 2008,
and later was hosted around the twentieth.
Dretta's webdesign hobby started at 8 years old on a site by the name
of Neopets. It started out rough; she'd used MS Paint and gradually
worked up to Photo Shop, which she used only as long as the trials
had lasted. Now she is using GIMP, a program free and just as good as
Photo Shop.
