Big Changes for HC.com!!!
Hello, fellow LJers! It's been awhile, but I'm here to announce some big changes for our website!
After a long deliberation, both Hannah and I decided not to continue having an actual website. Wha?! Let's back up a bit: Harmoniccosplay.com itself is not actually going away. We've elected to have the domain point to our very own LiveJournal community (harmoniccosplay) instead. Why would we do that? Here's why:
1.) Having an actual website is a lot of work. It involves designing and coding it constantly, which eats up precious time that neither of us have. We both already have our own personal websites that we must maintain for our careers, and that's enough work in itself.
2.) We both have multiple cosplay accounts on the various cosplay websites. We're talking Cosplay.com, Cosplaylab.com, Cosspace, ACP, etc. Why have yet another website (that takes a massive amount of work) just to have duplicate photos when they're already plastered on the web 8 billion times? It'd be easier to just link to the various places from one main journal.
3.) We just didn't update enough. Updating the site took a fantastic amount of time. We just don't have that time. Also, we don't update this journal enough because it required that we log out of our own LiveJournal accounts to do so... which is a pain. This way whenever we post costume info to our OWN journals, we can just double post it to the community. Easy as pie!
4.) We can create a faux website through the use of tags. 'Nuff said. Categorization has never been easier. Plus, what easier way to embed pics and videos? Blogs just rock socks because all the coding is already finished.
So there you have it, folks. We will be switching where the domain points soon enough, and we will discontinue posting in this old journal. If you are an account holder on LJ, please feel free to friend us and watch our updates! We might be able to do an RSS feed at some point, too... for those of you who do NOT have LJ.
In other news, remember to look for us at Anime Expo and San Diego Comic Con this year! We'll both have a few costumes to wear at both, and we look forward to seeing anyone who might be out there, too! ^^
