After three years of writing in this blog, I think I'm starting to run out of entry title ideas.
The last week or so has been pretty crazy and fun. I finally got to "reveal" what I've been working on since May, which was the official American fan page for my favorite singer, Bruno Pelletier. It feels crazy to say that, but it's true: it's official! How many people can say they help run an official page for their favorite singer? Not many, I'd wager. Sure, I've made a handful of fansites in my time - mainly Harry Potter - but obviously they were never official or even known of by many people. But hey, this garnered a status update on Bruno's official Facebook by his web team, plus a comment by Bruno himself. Pretty exciting stuff!
The website is made through Wix, a free web hosting place. It's not too terribly difficult to do, but the builder can be extremely finicky in terms of layers, where things are placed, and that sort of thing. The main bulk of the website only took me a couple of weeks to finish, I think, but it didn't debut until last week, along with a new Twitter account. Actually, I had a scare the day before the website went "live" because I couldn't sign onto the account and wasn't receiving any password reset emails. Eventually, I got it all figured out, but it was rather terrifying. Obviously I need to get into the account to make changes and additions - the very last thing I wanted was to have to rebuild the whole thing. Yikes. While the website was physically (or non-physically) built by me, however, I would be nowhere without my fellow admins, Ekaterina and Sarah. They're the bestest.
In other news, I clicked on the link to my blog this morning and it was deleted. Needless to say, I freaked out a bit. As I said earlier, I've poured three years of my life into this thing. For some reason, I later learned, it locked due to unusual activity. I had to get a text message sent to my phone with a code in order to change my password. 'Twas strange. But hey, I've access to my account, so that's all that matters, right?
In other other news, I've been rather sentimental lately, mainly because this time last year I was in Québec. I mean, if all goes well for me, I'll hopefully heading back there for grad school next year, but still. This past weekend was the anniversary of my vocal coaching with the wonderful Gabrielle Destroismaisons and spending the day with my friend François in Montréal. Actually, apparently today is the anniversary of me writing the blog about the weekend I spent there. Good timing, eh?
