I started my blog, Fastidious & Precise, in June of 2004. Until July of 2005, F&P was run using Blogger and was located here at lunaestas.com/blog. The lure of LiveJournal proved too strong at that point and I decided to blog there instead. If you're a member of LJ, feel free to add me if you'd like! :)

Here are the lunaestas.com/blog entries I made from June 2004 to July 2005.

Old  F&P layouts

(Summer 2004) Version One: Belladonic Haze: My favorite Queen layout yet! (I've made Queen layouts for several of my sites.) I thought the brushes and the effects really gave this layout an "atmosphere", if it's possible! I also quite like the shades of purple - gave it a rich look. :) The title comes from a lyric from the excellent Keep Yourself Alive. :)

(Fall 2004) Version Two: Someone (Someone) Just Drained the Colour From My Blog: Clever title, hmm? ;) I do like this layout, but after awhile, I felt it was just too dark, and ultimately too dull. The layout was simple and classy, but boring! However, I still like how it turned out. :) The title is a play on the lyric "Someone (someone) just drained the colour from my wings" from My Fairy King.

(Winter 2005) Version Three: Let Us Blog Together: It's a very simple design, very clean, with no dramatic flourishes or anything. I was very
pleased with how this turned out - I really like the contrast of the reds and blues. The kimono-clad Roger and Deaky inspired the title, Let Us Blog Together, which is a play on Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together). :)

(Spring/Summer 2005) Version Four: More Of That Blog: I love that photo of Freddie. :) I made a very simple, classy layout here; I quite like the colors! The first song title to pop into my head when I was thinking about what to call this layout was "More Of That Jazz," which I simply changed to "More Of That Blog," because I'm very silly like that. :)

(Fall 2005) Version Four Point One: I Will Rise And I Will Blog: Inspired by Sinead O'Connor's 'Troy' - the title came from the lyric 'I will rise, and I will return.'

(Winter 2006) Version Four Point Two: Blog Ain't Got The Blues No More: Inspired by Noel Fielding hotness and the song 'Blue Song' by Mint Royale.
