maybe i should've used a base from the start LOL! i made my site totally from scratch myself which i'm really proud of, but i'm realising from my friends using bases by Pros that mine is really ill-organised... it works for me though, and i guess nobody else really has to look at the code... so i'll keep doing it my way :-)
honestly i think yours is perfect BECAUSE you didn't use a base, you made that all yourself and it's kind of like knitting a blanket vs buying one
will that's such a nice way of thinking about it, thank you so much!! :'-) by the way, i love the entry/welcome page on your site!
making your own site from scratch means it's unique and personal to you! i really love the way your site looks!
