In March I updated the design of this blog because I wanted it to be more a portfolio website. It didn’t work out that well. The black background was difficult to read (thanks for all the comments and ideas). And this blog is a blog, changing it into a portfolio makes it less a blog and more serious. Bad idea. I like the simplicity of a blog, I’ll just figure out something else for a portfolio.
It didn’t work out so I’m switching back to white and simple and will focus more on posting great things ;)
A while ago we lost all the stylesheets at the Dutch electronic music blog Eclectro. So we rebuild it.
Eclectro tries to be a blog with a positive vibe about electronic music. By using the tools the web offers we try to connect producers and listeners in a way that everyone benefits and has a great time. For me the most exciting experiences with the blog are those where an artist we follow (and who follows the blog) get to do new great things.
I think for what Eclectro is doing in the music scene there is also some space for a Dutch blog about (electronic) art, clothes, architecture, photography DIY, and more with a focus on Dutch upcoming artists. We have enough blogs about internet and marketing ;) we could use some positive and easy to read blogs about art.
Just do It, think later
So I started it. Just to try out the idea. It’s a beta version, not in any technical way, since I can use the Eclectro templates.
It is a beta from content perspective. I started posting short articles to see if I there are enough interesting things to write about. And if the collection makes something that is adding something to the Dutch blogosphere.
I also started reaching out to some people with different interests and background to ask them if they are interested in sharing things, thoughts and knowledge.
For me right now the only reason not to continue the adventure is time, everything new costs time. And starting a group blog is incredible time consuming. But it is for the greater good!
You can find the blog at www.medialandschap.nl. If you want to share something, or a link. Let me know.
