<p>The idea here was to create a piece that conveyed the potential that I felt that my REAL wall had in the early days. I knew that the idea of sticking posts on walls was a great idea (heck it worked for Facebook!), so even though the wall wasn't getting any post I still soldiered on.</p>

<p>The idea here was to create a piece that conveyed the potential that I felt that my REAL wall had in the early days. I knew that the idea of sticking posts on walls was a great idea (heck it worked for Facebook!), so even though the wall wasn't getting any post I still soldiered on.</p>
<p>To convey the feeling, I created a blank wall by using a glossy piece of laminated wood salvaged from my next door neighbour's garden. I sawed this so that it was a nice size to hold and cleaned it up a little, before taping the edges.</p>
<p>The blankness of the wall and the invitation to write on it, complete with pens is designed to simulate and stimulate that creative urge I felt and still feel to fill that blank canvas with stuff!</p>
<p>I do hope loads of people do <a href="http://andytgeezer.blogspot.co.uk/2009/09/send-me-your-status.html" rel="nofollow">send in their statuses</a>, and I've created <a href="http://myrealwall.com/statusupdates/" rel="nofollow">a page on my REAL wall</a> to display them all when they come in.</p> tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2012-06-30:2496677:Comment:10242132012-06-30T15:11:35.396Zandytgeezerhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/andytgeezer
