About This Website
lifeasrose.ca was registered in June of 2008, although I have been blogging and creating websites for a lot longer than that. The current design was inspired by artwork from dragonartz.net, which has tons of beautiful, free to use pieces.
I am not much of an artist, and most of my skill lies in the developing of websites rather than the designing of them. I envy everyone who creates gorgeous graphics and designs.
The point of this site? Very personal. Writing about my life, spouting off about whatever, showcasing some of my work in an informal sort of way. There are a million sites like this out there and I do my best to stand out from the crowd. Do I succeed? Well, maybe not so much.
My top two tools: Smultron and GIMP.

Questions about Rose and Design and stuff.
- Do you make websites for others?
- I don't have anything set up to do this, but if you contact me there's a good chance I'll be interested. Because I'm still learning and my graphic skills aren't top notch, I would certainly charge at a lower rate than most... At least for now!
- How long have you been making websites for?
- I have been making websites since 1999.
- How do you...
- I am so lazy with emails I don't even always reply to my close friends and family. So I'm a bit hit and miss with these sorts of questions.
- What blogs do you read?
- I have created a links page for those of you trying to find new reading material.
