The Name
The original name was "ume yume" {Japanese for 'plum dreams'}. I picked this name because it's slightly nonsensical, and the words sound nearly identical (in Japanese). And, I like plums. =D
At the founding of version 3, the name was changed to "Tempest". I felt Plum Dreams was a little immature (not that I'm so much more mature now) for a site name. I still love it, but Tempest sounds much more dramatic. And as an artist, I'm all about the drama.
The Purpose
The purpose of this site is to provide links to graphic resources sites for the public. {Like a web portal}. These resources include but are not limited to: coding and graphic design tutorials, icons, wallpapers, and layouts.
The Origin
Originally, this site was designed in Spring of 2007 as my Final Project for an HTML class in college. However, I liked it so much I decided to keep it. It's rather useful. Before creating it for my final project, I had plans to create a web portal anyway. However, I couldn't think of any other site to create and I figured I needed to get a jump on this one anyway. So in May of 2007, Plum Dreams-now Tempest-was born.
The Layout
This is version three, and features Kanon Wakeshima, a Japanese musician and cellist. This layout is part of my current theme on the Cloudless Sky Network, featuring various foreign female musicians. Tempest was the first to receive its layout of this series. For additional information, please see the credits page.
