Finally, a year later, I’m back writing to you on my website …!<\/p>\n

Web site failure<\/h2>\n

About a year ago, in February 2018, my website crashed: DocPad<\/a>, the engine of my site stopped to work after an update. I soon learned it wasn’t supported anymore. It was a small project that I liked to generate a static site, but I was without possibility of publishing overnight, and I could not even tell you.<\/p>\n

With these constraints (water damage, contracts as a freelancer, part-time hiring, family life, community life …!) I had to postpone my personal creative projects for one year. And completely redone this website with WordPress<\/a>, which is so well known and supported that it will not let me down!<\/p>\n

The transformation of the website site took me months because there were a lot of technical constraints: two languages, a lot of images to highlight, a newsletter, a lot of content and metadata, and I even had to code a WordPress plugin for my comic player<\/a> and a player for a “video game” with Godot …<\/p>\n

Do you see all the small changes? How do you like it?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There have been some renunciations: I dropped the illustrations that were also downloadable as wallpaper because I have the impression that it was little used and it’s complicated to set up. If you insist I can try to redo this;)<\/p>\n

But there are also many improvements that offer me a dynamic site: it will be faster to publish, to broadcast on social networks, I will be able to host myself my newsletter and my comments, which means more privacy for you and tracking, in agreement with the GDPR (European General Data Protection Regulation).<\/p>\n

By the way, the RSS feed changed address: it was https:\/\/nylnook.art\/en-rss.xml<\/a>, it became https:\/\/nylnook.art\/en\/feed<\/a> …. don’t forget to update if you use it!<\/p>\n

I will in the coming weeks “retro-publish” the articles that I should have published in 2018 … because I did a lot of things that I did not show you!<\/p>\n

And job change!<\/h2>\n

In March 2018, I was also hired half-time as a graphic designer (and illustrator) in a print shop: \u00c0 l’atelier<\/a> (literally “At the workshop”), in Gap. After a year I can say that I am well in the team and that I will stay there. And I recently decided to give up my freelance activity to find time for my creative projects.<\/p>\n

It means two things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you want to make me work, it will now go through \u00c0 l’atelier<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. I will be able to do comics, games and illustration part time, defining myself my priorities, a real luxury!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My artistic projects, after this year of forced break, will be able to revive. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    I apologize for making you wait so long … and I hope to catch up now that I have time and space to create again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
