So here is the logo. I don’t know how to put it in the header space. I also don’t know if I want the subhead, cause in retrospect it might have been one of those things were I confuse talking to dogs with talking with people. I also don’t know if the person who made it wants credit, especially as I gave them the words and font type, which tied their hands pretty much. Feel free to jack-up the logo/redesign it/whatever. This is Open Source.

So I am hoping this will be this spot of the new project I talked about yesterday. I figure I have no right editing anything of anyone’s, so feel free to post at will. If you want a second look before you publish, hit me at elainecorden[at]gmaildotcom

Here are the rules:

1) Don’t be a dick. This includes negating points via attacks on grammar, altering work, or just generally doing anything that you know in your heart kinda makes you a tosser.

2)New Attitude wants to hear why you love what you love: albums, art, films, literature, a really nice pair of shoes - whatever.

3) You have to have lived with what you’re writing/talking/drawing/whatevering about for a while. No “I just heard this album last week and it rules”. It has to be something that’s stood the test of time. We want to know how you live with art, when you feel the need to pull it out, why you’re not sick of it, how it made its way into your heart etc.

4) It doesn’t have to be short, long, perfect, or complete, but it does have to offer some sort of personal relation to what you’re writing about. That’s kind of the point of this: for example, of course everyone knows “Physical Graffiti” is great, but how does it fit into your life, and why is it great for you?

5) Here is the login.

On this point, please refer to number one. Don’t be a dick.

6) We recognize not everyone has time for this. If you know someone who does, pass this along. If you have time yourself, please do contribute.

7) Feel free to link to your own tumblr/blog/website.

8) Feel free to write anonymously.

9) Don’t be a dick.  We get that pissing all over stuff is fun, but this isn’t the place for it, kay? This is an experiment in talking about how with live with what we love. There is no reward here except sharing a bit of yourself. We are, of course, asking you to write for free, but the idea is to build something a little bit bigger that all of us.

Okay. Looking forward to reading. Workin’ on my own right now. Please reblog, if you’d like.

P.S. Remember when I went first at Hindle’s Goodbye Roast? ANd you guys booed me for being all earnest?  Someone’s gotta go first. I will not boo you.
