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 Mitzrael of the lovely
rainawhile.net,
for which I am very grateful and honored. ♥ :)
layout: current
Version #8 of ohmydarling.org, uploaded January 24, 2012, features Florence Welch, of Florence + The Machine. I am quite fond of their music, and "You've Got the Love" is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
I happened upon this image and thought it would be great for a layout. I also think it has somewhat of a celebratory feel to it, and since it's still the beginning of the new year (2012), I felt it would be appropriate. I guess I am getting
more used to having real people in my layouts; this is the second one in a row!
As usual, credits can be found

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.
