Creatively Complex

One of the most recent hollywood buzz is all about the actress Sandra Bullock and the child that she adopted a few months ago that she has only just revealed...Louis. I gotta tell you that I've never really been into all the latest news in hollywood but I will admit I've got an amazing amount of respect for that woman. With her husbands infidelity and their pending divorce splashed over the front page, it was then that she would pull a stunt that would take the focus of the negative news and put the focus on a positive aspect of her life, her son Louis to whom she had gone thru extensive lengths to keep hidden. For doctor visits, there had to be a series of decoy cars employed. As well she would not let people into her house for awards show fittings. WOW!

Truth be told Sandra Bullock did a much better job at keeping her adopted child hidden than I think I did at keeping secret the fact that I was now mother to a 3rd blog site. Yes, for the past few weeks I've been in the backroom again pouring all my creative prowess into my latest creation "Creatively Complex" This all began one day when I was sitting around and I kept thinking "You know, I betcha I could create a killer tribute page to Santa Clara". And the thought just wouldn't go away. Wanting to take my skills as a blogger to the next level, I sat down in front of my computer one afternoon and got my creative juices flowing. And that is how "Creatively Complex" was born.

Like a newborn child, the blogsite began taking a life of it's own straight away, drawing attention from others as well as demanding ALOT of my own time and attention :) One thing I did not expect was that within a day or so of creating it, my counter indicated that visitors were already starting to come. Who were these people I wondered? The only people I had told so far were the people involved with the band. I had not announced it or promoted it until quite recently.

But like Sandra Bullock's baby, stuff like this cannot stay hidden forever. The reason why I hadn't said anything before was that it is still yet to be determined how this blogsite will be utilized. It could be something useful for Santa Clara later on in their journey, a place where they could post and connect with their fans. But seeing such a great response to the site even at the early stage, I figured it was time to make it official the presence of a 3rd blogsite.

This blogsite is special because it represents the culmination of all my talents and skills as a blogger. Even finding the right template was a journey in itself, I had to look around and compare and try on a few to feel which one was right. And even after I selected one, it was like a piece of IKEA furniture.....you have the instructions but you have put all the parts together yourself. And that was only the beginning, bringing everything together that would make up "Creatively Complex" would take every ounce of skill I had every learned from my past two blogs. As well I would need to learn a few new more skills in addition to the ones I had. But the end result has gone beyond my imagination of what I could create as a blogger.

The thing that I feel good about is that Santa Clara's quality of music is truly worthy of a blogsite this good looking. I've created a sexy blogsite that makes them look good and it is fitting because they really are that good. So I'm not promoting to the public something that is more than what they are. They work hard to bring us their best and I work hard to bring them as well as everyone else my very best. Nothing more and nothing less :)
