history
ohmydarling.org was purchased at the beginning of August (the 2nd, to be exact), 2007. I bought the domain space from tehlove.org, who also
included the domain name in the package. I decided to buy a domain after issues with one of my hostesses led me to worry about stability for my sites' homes. In other words,
I figured if I had my own domain then I would know my websites would have a secure and permanent home. Shortly after I came to this conclusion, ohmydarling.org was purchased and I became
a domain-mommy! The domain was officially opened on September 13, 2007.
After tehlove closed down, I was hosted by Devyn of stripthesoul.net until January of 2009. I am currently hosted by the lovely Mitzrael of
rainawhile.net (formerly dokkasou.net),
for which I am eternally grateful and honored. ♥ :)
the layout
Version #10 of ohmydarling.org, uploaded April 30, 2013, features Meg from the Disney animated short
Paperman. This short but very sweet film captured my heart, with its black-and-white visuals and the classic story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy is reunited with girl by living paper planes... Anyhoo. After struggling for
months to find a subject for a domain layout,
inspiration struck after I saw
Wreck-It-Ralph, which
Paperman precedes. I loved the character designs, and I'd been wanting to get back to layouts that don't use real people. So here we have version 10 of OMD.
As usual, credits can be found
here. The font I used in the main image and for subpage titles is Sky Metropolis. The image(s) used came from the official website for
Paperman, which you can visit
here.
name
The name comes in part from my [now dead] fanlisting collective, Darling. I knew I would
be closing it when I got the domain, but I love the term of endearment
"darling" so much, I wanted to continue to use it somehow. So I took
inspiration from the song "Oh My Darling, Clementine". Obviously
I left off the Clementine, and was left with Oh My Darling. Well,
I thought that sounded rather cute and sweet, and me being such a
sucker for cute and sweet things led me to choose
ohmydarling as the domain.
.org was chosen as the extension not because it was the only one available,
but because I liked the way that one sounded the best.
