I actually thought the background looked a little tacky, it's a surprise to see somebody prefers it
My blog is like a teenagers dream. I talk about stupid stuff, make stupid videos and portray all my art (both stupid & professional). I think the site itself doesn't really give off a good "smell" to employers, especially if they're of the older generation. Buying the domain is £2.50 and the hosting I have sorted from a friend of mine. It's a small price to pay to have a separate life on the web.
When I first started up my blog site I never even considered anyone seeing it that I'd be working for in the future. But as you get older you have to start taking care of your image and keep it as appealing as possible. You never know who could be lurking around your site at anytime! Scary ...
I think because my next step in life is my career, things just change. Sure, I don't like the fact they do but it's just he way it is. You've gotta grow up sometime I guess.
