Annandale, Virginia: A Fashionable Steampunk Deer Encounter

12/2/2013

Tell me again, was it love at first sight?

By Eden Haney

I went exploring Annandale, Virginia this weekend and came across the itty bitty Fairfax Hills Park with a lovely little creek going right through the middle. It was the perfect spot for a shoot. While I was photographing, a few deer came down to the creek to stare at me. I can only imagine what they were thinking—I mean, what kind of weird person takes pictures in the middle of their home wearing almost nothing in near freezing temperatures? Probably hasn't happened that often in the past. She must be nuts, thought the deer. I'm kicking myself now for not getting pictures of the hoofed critters, but you'll have to take my word for it: The whole experience was magical.

"The deer my mother swears to God we never saw,
the ones that stepped between the trees
on pound-coin-coloured hooves,
I'd bring them up each teatime in the holidays"

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
