I have a very good friend called Juanita, who is an incredibly talent artist – both as a poet and a painter, though she is far too humble to realize how good she really is. Quite coincidentally she mentioned to me recently that tumblr was no longer doing what she wanted for putting her poetry out there, and more-over that she wanted to get some exposure for her visual art as well.
I thought a moment and then I told her I would be happy to host a proper site for her. Being her usual charming self she first tried to convince me that she couldn't ask that of me but after I insisted it wouldn't be too much trouble she agreed. So I set up a vhost and a subdomain for her, loaded up wordpress with a few basic plugins and gave her a crash course to get her started.
Now her site is still pretty basic theme-wise (which you can expect to change rapidly) but in the meantime it has already gotten some poems added and more content will follow over the next few days. I will be following her RSS feed eagerly. She really is a very talented artist and I feel quite privileged to be able to help her get some more exposure.
So enough plugging – go check out the bloodlusting girl's page.
