a new new small ritual

there's a new new smallritual site, or at least the beginnings of one. i wanted to change medium. i was tired of all the writing, all the maintaining of old stuff. i want to work much more with images; and working with images gives me more pleasure than words right now. and i've felt - for a long time - that this thing needs to be much more about images, and yet we still get trapped in words and explanations. i wanted better typography on windows machines. i thought some of my photos looked better at a larger size. and i have many images that i like but have never found a particular reason to use.

so. the new site will fill up slowly as i do things. and when it's full, things will be removed when i want to add more. and maybe they'll come back later if i feel like it. the tan-coloured strip along the bottom will carry links to connected pages, like a story field or hypercard stack. there's only a 'home' page because the h looked right in the menu strip. i considered making the index page number 3, or 23, and might still do it. you'll have to feel your way around. some of the old material will return in the new format. i've got one eye on these pages as flyers, or book pages.

incidentally the number 31 has nothing to do with months. it was just the number of numbers i could get on a prototype version of the site. and i liked the idea.

looks nice...
you keep changing your links though!
so where i have linked to you before i now have to change them again (or leave them broken)....
i confess to being a fan of both your writing and your images so i have linked to several things as worship tricks, several things in blog entries, and several things in a section i have of articles by other people. i am actually about half way through going through the worship tricks and updating links - now i've got to rework these again. i suspect there are a lot of links to your stuff out there in the blogosphere eslewhere. it seems a shame to break so many good links?... just a thought for future redesigns.
keep on keeping on....

It may be my problem not yours, but I can't open your new site AT ALL... what's the URL again?

THe idewa of using random numbers because they look nice/confuse the logical mind is great - I went to hear Scottish artist Alan Davie speaking yesterday and he was talking about how art can't happen until you get into a place of logical bewilderment. Fanstastic.
