Hao I Du

Hmm.  I will get Blogger figured out... eventually.  Coming from LJ, it hasn't been easy trying to get things set up the way I'd like.  I have suspicions that something is up with my feed as I wasn't showing up in my dashboard despite having followed myself.  I hunted around in settings, changing nothing but re-saving my original choices.  I then unfollowed myself, re-followed publicly and voilà.  I switched back to anonymous out of curiosity, but I'm still there.  So, I'm not entirely sure what the issue is / was.  I can't imagine public vs anonymous had anything to do with it, but that's about the only straw I can grasp.  The images don't seem to preview on my dashboard, though.  Scouting around Blogger help makes me think it has to do with off-site hosting and the resulting link.

No pictures today, but I've completed the remainder of the color, yaaaaay~  Now for miles of black lettering and possibly redoing Rinoa's hair.  And adding Squall's poof, if I decide it is suitably awesome to do so.

Eeeeeeee.

Will I wash this piece?  I'm not sure.  It has some fairly bright reds and although DMC claims to be colorfast, red does seem to be a problem.  I'd probably go up in flames if I washed it and it bled.  I probably should have washed the floss before starting, just to be sure.  Luckily, the project isn't dirty as it has been exclusively on a stand allowing me to two-hand stitch with minimal fabric touching.

ETA:  Hmm, it appears to be not working again as it didn't appear in my dashboard.
ETA2: It appeared ~1.5 hours later.  I'll assume (for now) that this is the norm.
