The Sky Is Blue, And All The Leaves Are Green

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

Wilco – “Heavy Metal Drummer” Did you know that one serving of pasta is 1/2 cup? I was making macaroni and cheese earlier and thought to myself, “Self, wouldn’t it be good of me to only eat one serving instead of the amount I normally eat?” since I am trying to be all healthy and [...]

I Know It Is Not Perfect, But…

Friday, April 21st, 2006

Johnny Cash – “Take This Job And Shove It” New layout! If you do not see it, try pressing Ctrl+F5 and that should do the trick. Let me know what you think, and also please let me know if things are broken or just plain look stupid. But don’t dis the squirrel. I drew him [...]

CSS, Why Do You Hate Three Column Layouts?

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Tiamat – “Lucy” I have this very pretty, very awesome, very great new layout, and I cannot for the life of me make it work as a three-column WordPress layout! I don’t know what my problem is. I have looked at glish.com’s CSS stuff, I’ve looked at Jem’s tutorial, I’ve looked at other 3-column WP [...]

Boring Site Adjustments

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

Atreyu I’ve made a few changes around here and I’m pleased to announce that I now have clickable smilies enabled for comments. After reading a few things about it, I realized that this functionality was intended from the beginning and all I had to do was put the same PHP call in my comments.php page. [...]

New Theme: Awesome!

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

The B-52′s – “Is That You, Mo-Dean?” As you can probably see, I have created a new theme. I am immensely proud of this one and I absolutely love it to death. This is really the first time I’ve delved into the WP themes to try to really create my own, and for some reason, [...]

A Foul Plot Is Afoot…

Friday, January 13th, 2006

the Mortiis playing in my head I am at such a loss for topics lately. I can’t seem to think of anything to talk about. OMG! I wrote that, and then thought about looking in my web stats just to see what’s up. I found a few links I hadn’t seen before in my referrals, [...]

50′s Fun. Also, Bowling!

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

Mortiis – “The Worst In Me” New layout! Hopefully you all see it; it’s colorful and 50s-ish. If not, try pressing ctrl+F5 and see if that fixes anything. I’m testing WordPress to its fullest ability by trying themes for real and beginning to use its “page” feature. I like it so far, but we’ll see [...]

Mumbo Jumbo

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

nothing, iTunes won’t open I’m really, really considering upgrading to WordPress 2.0. Not so much because it’s supposed to be great and wonderful, but because it’ll give me an excuse to do a total re-vamp of this site. I’ve totally screwed up the normal WP template (viewable if you click on any of the categories [...]

Huzzah! New Layout!

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

The HP GoF movie trailer New layout! Press ctrl+F5 if things look funny to you. It features an adorable drawing of Ron and Hermione by the lovely person who runs Potter Pens. It is the cutest thing I have seen in a very very long time. I had tons of issues with this layout (primarily [...]

Maintenance

Friday, December 16th, 2005

Scissor Sisters – “Laura” Do ignore the default-ness and/or new-layout-ness of my site. I’m attempting to make my own theme, and um, I’m not sure it’s going well. Well. Gave up on that. Going to do it the way I’ve been doing it, with one header file and one footer file for the whole site. [...]

A-Ha!

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

Rob D – “Clubbed to Death (Kuryamino Mix)” It was PHPquotes. I went to the link Jem sent me and went to fix my protection pages, and there were a ton of weird files in the PHPquotes directory that I know I didn’t put there. I fixed the protection page and then deleted all the [...]

I Got Pwned

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

nothing Yes, the rumors are true, something happened to my site. I got “hacked” or “defaced” or whatever they call it now. I’m still not sure where the security breach was because I’m using the latest version of WordPress, and I trust the guy who made the Guestblock. The only thing I’m wary about is [...]

Impending Site Revamp

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – “Mona Lisa” I’m feeling the urge to completely re-do my site. I think about it every once in a while, but since Trinity talked about it the other day, it reminded me that I should probably re-vamp my site in some way. I actually started this process a [...]

No More Separate Journal Page!

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

Super Troopers Yay! Thanks to Rosemarie‘s lovely know-how, I’ve now got my journal on the index page with the files still being in their own folder! Hurray. As far as re-directs go, I’m doing this php thing I found on php.net: <php header(“Refresh: 0; http://www.oipom.com”); ?> I dunno if there’s a better way of doing [...]

Gravatars + Cookies

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Hades – “Hecate (Queen of Hades)” I have successfully implemented gravatars in the comments of my journal. Of course, I pick the day to do it that Gravatar.com decides to be an ass and start not showing some of the images. Bleh. But it’s working now. For those of you unfamiliar with gravatars but familiar [...]
