Branching out...

liadethorneggeI'd like to use the Swedish word "spretig" which I can't find a good translation of off hand, but branching out sort of fits.
What I want to describe is the situation with my event photos, project photos and activity photos such as Aros sewing circle etc.
I started off with a fairly good idea of what went where, and why. Now, I've started mixing and matching, and retro-fitting some new stuff onto old structures. My dress diary pages take photos from their "own" albums, but sometimes the photo I want to use is taken at a sewing circle, so then should I use that photo or duplicate it to the diary album?
I've done both in the past. I guess the photo albums aren't that well visited anymore. I loved my old setup at the swein server *sigh*, but that's long since gone and it ain't coming back. I guess what I need to do is just move on and get it through my head that I've got it all set up a different way now. I just feel locked and it's holding me back from updating my site.
Oh yes, my site, the new site. No longer can I consider GeoCities as my home either. I've got the experiment set up over at wordpress, but I haven't really sunk my teeth into it as a project yet. One part is laziness, another is stubborness, a third is the icky sticky feeling of not being in perfect control of the surroundings. Again, I have to move on.
Sometimes I feel it's not worth bothering with it at all. Who is going to miss my little webpage really? On the other hand, I have people come up to me at events saying they saw this or that on my site, so I at least know some people find it useful. But with the growth of my LiveJournal, many of the things I put on the webpage to begin with I've already hashed out on here.
I think my boredom with the whole webpage project also comes from the fact that I've learned enough in my costuming that I am not constantly trying new things. Rather I just dig out an old pattern from my store and plonk it down onto new fabric and make something to wear. When I started out, six years ago, everything I did was new, and required lots of attention and thought. Also, writing the same dress diary over and over, for these new outfits, seems like a waste of space and effort, since the information is already there, in the first diary of that kind.
