Website
Around May of 2008, I began to learn HTML coding through the Neopets HTML Guide. I figured out, around this time, how to make a simple graphic. By simple, I mean an image made in MS Paint, just a cropped picture with text. However ugly everything I made was, I still felt very proud of myself.
In August 2008, one of my friends, Madison (Ice Puppy #1), and I made a website. It was named Clomps. My graphics had improved (however slightly) and I now had enough knowledge of HTML and even a bit of CSS to make a site. Our layout wasn't coded by me - I simply took a code from Thunderclan TSG and edited it to fit Clomps, by changing the colors and making a new header image and background. If you'd like to see the layout, click here. Clomps began to grow, and soon it became a website that offered graphics that weren't amazing, but were still a huge improvement from my MS Paint days. I now used paint.NET, and my designing capabilities had improved slightly. By the time that Clomps closed (because it was hacked or something, and no one could log on) I was able to make and code website layouts that were actually worth using, and I had full knowledge of CSS and HTML.
In March of 2009, Essence of Insanity was born. You cannot view EOI any longer, and I have lost all control over the website and cannot access any of my information. Essence of Insanity was soon changed to Extract of Insanity, and it flourished for a while. My graphic and coding capability grew a lot in the switch from Clomps to EOI, and I also learned all about SSI, or Server Side Includes, while running EOI. I wouldn't have closed EOI if it hadn't been for all of the server problems and such, as the site was doing great, but I was forced to give up on my beloved EOI and move forward, trying to forget the past.
In late June/early July of 2009, I created Shattered Faith. It contained most of the same content that EOI did, but it was new and slightly improved. On July 6th, Shattered Faith's name was changed to Clompish. The name originated from the most common nickname for me on the internet, Clompeh. Because I knew my website would be a blog website, and a place to express myself, I figured Clompish would be fitting. The definition of Clompish means "to be or do in the way of Clompeh", and my website really fits that.
I make plenty of graphics and resources for all of my visitors, and everything on Clompish is free for all to use, with the respectful credit. I offer many things in the realm of graphic and website design, and all of my work is high quality and kid friendly.
Even though I make many things for the visitor, my main purpose on Clompish is to express myself and show who I really am, through writings, graphics and blog entries. It is also a place to vent, rant, and just be myself and not worry about what others might think or say. Overall, Clompish is my home on the internet, my place for self-expression. I hope after browsing this website, you can see a bit of the world through my eyes.
