Salutations

Posted by on Mar 28, 2014 in Admin

If this is your first experience with Newfoundjoye, welcome! For those of you who used to read my posts on Blogger, it’s great to see you again. Last year, I knew that I wanted to change the current setup of my website to allow for both a blog and portfolio in one spot, but it took a lot of time and consideration to execute. Now that I am making the transition, I ask that you bear with me. Below are a few things to note about how Newfoundjoye will operate moving forward:

  • Focus — My previous blog was a hodgepodge. Topics ranged from fortune cookie fortunes and cinemagraphs to multiple disciplines of art. However, it was very random and disorganized. From this point forward, you will find posts will revolve around a handful of simple categories related to art, baking, books, crafts, design, film and writing.
  • Personal Projects — On my old blog, I never showed my own work. It never felt quite right given the style of the blog. You can expect to see periodic updates showcasing some of my own projects.
  • Me — While Newfoundjoye used to be mentioned often around my old blog, the woman behind the name—Ryyan Joye—was not as familiar. Prior to this site, I never showed much of myself, but in the same way that I want to all of my readers, I believe you should know me.
  • The Old — In addition to the old Blog of Newfoundjoye, I also had a blog I devoted to writing. While I will leave Blog of Newfoundjoye in its entirety, I am deleting Newfoundrhapsody. It did not have a following, but I like to tie up all loose ends. My love of books and writing will be folded into my blog here.

Look forward to more.
