Trying to revamp my page. So far the webrings are the worst problem. I've taken them out for now. It's 3:20 AM, time to let it settle and see if those good hearted brownies come in and secretly work their magic to fix all those little mystery glitches.
sigh The odd thing is that sometimes that is just what happens.
Backwash - Content - Consistently Inconsistent Gossamer Girl
A new column at BackWash, my first mentee has posted.
I'm so cold tonight I'm blowing my breath over my fingers and making Darth Vader noises.
Good night, good night, good night. Won't my bed be surprised to see me this early!
I emailed to Ben at Movable Type and it seems the killjoy in my blog loading is BlogRolling. So, it will have to wander off onto another part of my site or disappear altogether. You would think Blogrolling would have worked out any kinks with MT blogs by now.
Anyway, the site redesign is going slowly. I want to create magick but I'm not sure how to pull it off, technology wise. Well, more like personal brain power wise. I have most of the technology, I think.
One more MT related thing... I got the book today!! There I am on page #230. As if it would move around. :D I'm going to read the book and find out what else I can do with my bloggitty blog.
HerCorner.com | When writing feels like a sixth sense.
Does HerCorner need a facelift? Have I just been looking at it too many times, too long?
One more thing to think about. Katherine at HerPlanet is the site designer. She does a beautiful job. Have a look at HerSupport and the HerPlanet site itself. She has done others but I can't think of which ones offhand.
Open Directory - Computers: Internet: On the Web: Weblogs
Add your blog to the pile. It seems I'm the only active editor in Weblogs these days. But, I'm slowly catching up on the submissions. My ultimate goal is to have 5,000 blogs listed (including resources, tools, etc.) I figure I'll get there by the end of 2003.
Anyone interested in becoming an editor is welcome to apply. I have no say in who gets accepted.
Just today, I found myself and this website mentioned in a book. The O'Reilly Essential Blogging book in which Ben and Mena Trott are among the authors. I'm on page #230 with my blab about blogs. I had no idea my comments were chosen for the book. Pretty nice year end surprise. Maybe it's a sign of great things to come.
Who knows maybe Harlequin and all those women's magazines will just flock to put my words into print. Yeah, and after that I'll start dusting off the plans for my world domination plot, the one where I'm empress of the world. I'm a very good empress btw.
Now I really do need to fix all the little things around my site. Plus work on getting my new graphics (homemade) scanned and loaded up. Wait till you see them, you'll be completely blown away, that or get the hiccups laughing. Either way works for me. ;)
Corrections About Christmas
I must correct my Christmas blab. I did get three presents and counting now. Before Christmas my brother let me have $50 to change my drivers license from US to Canadian. Afterwards he told me to keep the money (I didn't need to pay him back) and get that food steamer I had told him I wanted for Christmas. The food steamer I got on sale for less than $25, so that was a nice Christmas present. I just didn't think of it when I was writing because it was pre-Christmas. Since Christmas my sister Grace (home visiting) bought me the inhalers I needed. I had given her my bank card but she didn't use it. So that was nice of her. Thirdly, today my Mom said she is giving me $200 for Christmas. So Christmas was a time of giving afterall.
In case you're wondering... I gave everyone something for Christmas too. But I didn't spend much due to not having much to spend. Likely I've spent more on gassing the car than anything or anyone else. I hope working at Zellers will keep me in coffee once I ask (and get) full time. But, I'm going to ask once my 3 months probation is up. Hoping that goes more than well. I've even been so bold as to ask people to fill out the customer service comment cards. So far both people I asked were glad to do it. But, I knew they would be since I spent extra time helping both of them and they were nice, cheery people. Just another 8 cards to go and then I can get a silver ID card. Won't that look good for my 3 months probation. :)
I was trying to add Blog Chalking here and I've somehow screwed up the layout. Now, I'm too tired to keep my brain working on figuring out how to fix it. There is a 1% chance it will fix itself. While I'm sleeping the good fairies will come and in the morning it will be functional and just as good as ever.
Yeah, and the lottery ticket I bought on Thursday really is the big winner of $20 million.
