Welcome Again!
July 26, 2008 | Filed in the folder of: Uncategorized |

Sorry for that 3-4 day affair with the “Maintenance Mode” screen. Don’t worry, I’ve been hard at work (understatement) fine-tuning this place, weaving a much-needed new layout, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Let me just say, this layout was a wild bucking bull. So many errors to even out, and even now, I still have more work to do. This stuff isn’t easy.

I decided to forget blogging about my vacation. I doubt anyone is interested in it, anyway.

So! I have some new addictions!

  1. The WHATTHEBUCK Show! Insanely hilarious. This is how a little un-American cultured girl gets her information. Michael Buckley is a genius. And a roll-on-the-floor laughing one at that.
  2. FARK! Since I’ve stopped watching the local news, this makes a handy replacement.
  3. M.I.A.! I had searched the ends of the world to find an amazing Desi singer. She’s the one. Her songs are hypnotic. Check my tumblr post to see my favorite songs.
  4. ONESENTENCE! It’s kind of like PostSecret, except minus the photos part. I really like reading them!
  5. TUTORIALTASTIC! This site has been a HUGE help in creating this layout. If I didn’t have this wonderful site, I don’t know what I would do. Thank you, Jem!

That’s all for right now. I’m still adding more information and editing!

Update: For those who asked, no, I did not convert to EE. It was a huge hassle converting my posts, comments, and themes… and quite frankly, I’m sticking to Wordpress!

I literally snorted into my cup of tea (yes, my cup of TEA) when I clicked on the whatthebuck link. I’ll be subscribing to that. Heh, heh. One Sentence sounds interesting too… my imagination goes crazy with all of the sentences, guessing what could’ve happened.

I’m digging this layout. The icons next to the headers on the sidebar are so cute!

I love MIA too! I first heard her when I saw the trailer for Pineapple Express. I looked her up and soon enough, one of my best friends told me that she had her CD. She’s amazing =)

And WhatTheBuck is one of my guilty pleasures as well. lol

Ahaha, maybe I shouldn’t judge a site’s content management system by the URL structure of its pages.

Note to self: CHECK SOURCE FIRST. :P

Seeing as you entirely booted Wordpress out of the server, learned the workings of EE, installed EE, and designed a brand new layout (that’s quite spankin’, might I add), it’s understandable that it took some days :)

I’ll be checking out those links.  :D

  • While I do love the occasional, "Nice layout!" or something like that, please try to leave a message on the post.
  • No spams, flames, profanity. That was obvious.
  • Most importantly: Thanks for taking your time to comment!
