How to Browse Posts and Follow New Work on Make Today Colourful

Make Today Colourful is a poetry-and-picture blog best known for its teletext art, and you can browse it in two straightforward ways: scroll the home page to read the newest pieces, or use the pagination links at the bottom of the post list ("Page 1, Page 2 … Page 13, Next page") to work back through the archive. To follow new work, look for the site's subscribe entry point; the site references subscribing but does not publish pricing or account details on the pages reviewed here, so check the subscribe link itself for current terms.

What each post page gives you

Every artwork entry follows the same pattern, which makes the archive easy to scan:

• A title — for example "Barbecue", "Time Machine Watch", "Spaceship", "Octopus Suitcase" or "The Mechanical Turk".
• A short description of the image, including the colours, text and any collaboration credit (the Spaceship piece credits Dan Farrimond for Level 1, with Level 2.5 elements added by the site author).
• A posting date, sometimes two dates where a piece was updated.

The descriptions are unusually detailed for an art blog — the Barbecue entry, for instance, explains the three terraced houses with cyan, white and magenta doors and blinds, the birds, and the overheard lines "Shall we have a barbecue?", "Bring the washing in!" and "Let's go to the park!". If you are reading on a small screen or with images off, the text alone tells you what the piece shows.

Browsing the archive

1. Open the home page. The newest posts appear first, each with its title, description and date.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the list to the posts navigation.
3. Select a page number to jump further back, or "Next page" to move one page at a time. The listing shows 13 pages, so the archive is deep enough to browse in several sittings.
4. On any post, read the description before or after viewing the image — it names the recurring series (#WeeklyTeletextArt) and any collaborators, which helps you spot related pieces.

A practical tip: the pieces are dated across late 2022 and early 2023 (for example 19 November 2022, 21 January 2023, 4 February 2023, 11 February 2023 and 18 July 2023), so if you want to follow the #WeeklyTeletextArt series in order, work backwards from the last page rather than the first.

Following new work

The site includes a subscribe option for updates. Because the reviewed pages do not state a price, a payment method or whether an account is required, treat subscribing as something to confirm on the sign-up page itself rather than assuming it is free or instant. If you would rather not subscribe, the home page is the reliable check — new posts appear at the top with their dates, so a periodic visit shows you anything you have missed.

Deciding how to use the site

The site suits readers who like short, self-contained visual pieces with explanatory text, and who are happy to browse page by page rather than search. If you need a searchable index or artist biographies, this archive does not provide them on the pages reviewed.
