Fay Roberts Poet: October 2023

It's Finally Here…

I’ve been beavering away at this for a few days, committing to putting together a proper website at last, using the template the brilliant Hannah Chutzpah put together for me ages ago as a basis and then going ham. And I’ve done it! There’s an actual website with my name on it and you can find out all sorts of things about what I do right here: http://www.fayroberts.co.uk

A screenshot of a website with a pale teal background. At the top it reads "Fay Roberts", with a greyscale cartoon image of the face and neck of a clean-shaven white person with somewhat wild, curly, light hair and a wistful expression. Below that it reads "poet, storyteller, musician, geek, accidental voice artist" To the right is a search bar. Below is a menu reading Home, About, Poetry, Voice Acting, Hosting, Calendar, and Commerce & Services. Below that is the word Home and a photo of a white, bearded person with shoulder-length, curly, light brown hair, who is standing spotlit on a dark stage behind a microphone on a stand; the mic has a yellow cover over it. The performer has their eyes lightly closed and their eyebrows raised slightly as if in slightly tortured contemplation. Their mouth is open as if they’re saying "oh" or "ooh". From behind the basic music stand in front of them you can see one hand raised, palm-upward, as if cupping something. They are wearing a red shirt, black waistcoat, and a teardrop-shaped stone on a black cord around their neck. Their beard is a goatee, close-cropped.

Not sure about the colour yet – what do you think?

I have not yet added in any of the info I need to about being a storyteller, or a musician, or someone who draws stuff too, but I figured that I’ve delayed putting this out there long enough, and better done than perfect, as they say… I can always add those other bits later.

Please let me know your thoughts. Are there other things you’d like to see? How easy is it to navigate? Should I ditch the colour scheme in favour of something a bit more conventional? (Not all the images have image descriptions yet, but I’m working on it!)
