Website History:
Well this site has gone through many incarnations, so to speak. I guess I'd count them all as one site cause it all used some of the basic same content. I'd say the very "1st" site I had was mainly a clipart picture and my Dad actually helped me make it, lol. I remember those days when the internet was almost purely text. When I began to actually take more control of making it into a site, it became "Ayperi's Mystic Glen". Even then I had made at least half of my own graphics, though not as nice looking as now lol. Then the name evolved to "Emania: the Land of the Moon". Then I wanted to make it into more of a art studio type of site. Then I renamed the site "Moonlight Silhouette Studio", and many, many designs start going on with the site from flash to regular html etc. lol After awhile I wanted to have a domain name to go with the site, but moonlight silhouette studio is kind of long (and I didn't want to shorten it to MSstudio lol), so I had to figure a new name that's short, catchy, unique and simple. After going through a long listing, I decided on lunarberry. So for a long while the site was called LunarBerry.com, then for a short while "The LunarBerry" was used up until now. It's latest name, as you may know by now, is LunarBerry Studio, for which I believe I'll keep this time lol. Although since I got two domains, I may split the site someday...or not :p But this studio site I plan to use more for my own business. Now as to why I picked that name (besides short and catchy) ...well..I love the moon...and I love berries ^^ besides ...alot of the other names I liked first were taken X.x lol

About this site:
As mentioned on the front page this site is about showing stuff I like to do and have accomplished. It is a personal/business kind of site, it's personal because it's stuff I've got an interest in, it later become just as much business because I also offer my skills to others (whether with freebies or actual sales). I tend to prefer to keep my site in the basic "old school" format so to speak, in that I don't have much serious XML or DHTML or other effects or coding that seems to popular now. I tend to keep mostly to html and css. I probably should do more, but I like to keep my site as simple as possible, though, of course, with the more complex features, I tinker with what I need to make whatever I need happen. I'm more of a graphic designer than a coder anyways, but can know plenty enough to get my way around if need be. My site is what it is, it's got no real definition as I put whatever I feel like. All I can say there will be at least one thing that visitors to my site can enjoy ^^

Anything else?:
I tend to keep busy with lots of projects and also keeping this site up to date.
