    Live Test: Formatting the Development Feed

    I’m currently running a live test of the Website Development category to see exactly how our project history stacks up. Building mycrappyproductions.com is an evolving process, and it’s important to see how these updates look “in the wild.”

    The Goal

    • Check the Flow: Ensuring new updates automatically sit at the top of the feed for easy reading.
    • Visual Consistency: Verifying that the sidebars and headers stay perfectly in place as content grows.
    • The “History” Look: Seeing how the site archives our journey from a simple idea to a full cartoon universe.

    This is a quick “prime the pump” post to ensure everything is structurally sound before we dive into the heavier updates. Stay tuned—the real work is just beginning!

    Website Development: Behind the Scenes at MyCrappyProductions.com

    Building a digital home for Harvey and Ethyl is more than just clicking buttons—it is an evolving journey of technical problem-solving and creative collaboration. This category serves as an open log of the “nitty-gritty” work required to keep mycrappyproductions.com running and growing.

    What to Expect in This Category:

    • The Technical Stack: I’ll be pulling back the curtain on the hardware and software that power this site—from the devices I use to the hosting and maintenance routines that keep the lights on.
    • The AI Collaboration: A major pillar of this project is the integration of Artificial Intelligence. I’ll share how I work alongside Gemini to streamline image development, refine scripts, and troubleshoot the complex hurdles of 2D animation.
    • The Creative Struggle: We’ll dive into the real-world problems we face, particularly in the realm of video production. I’ll be sharing “work-in-progress” props, test renders, and the specific software workflows (like Moho Pro and Clip Studio) used to bring my characters to life.
    • Process Over Perfection: This isn’t just a list of finished updates; it’s an explanation of the process. I want to show the world exactly what it takes to build a creative platform from the ground up using every modern tool available.
