Falling Behind

I have not had the opportunity to update this site in the last week or two, sorry about that! I still have a ton of past layouts to add (probably about thirty or so) and I haven’t even touched my fandom yet. I think I will be updating the fandom before anything else in the next few days. My site went down for awhile and some areas are still not back to 100% just yet. Also, someone has been nice enough to SPAM my guestbook for some unknown reason. Whoever you are, knock it off. Asshole.

There has been one more LLS layout added to the layouts page. Check it out if you are interested!

Thank You!

You guys are the best! Thank you to everyone that signed my guestbook in the last few days!! I love to see who is stopping by. Feel free to leave me any suggestions you may have about what you want to see on the site while you are at it. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten much more done on the fandom page in the last few days. I’ve been working on a layout for the Last Layout Standing competition. I am actually releasing this early – it won’t be posted on Livejournal yet for a few more days, so look for the pre-release of “Some Serif” on the layouts page!

Fandom

Well, I have finally started to work on my fandom page. I haven’t gotten very far because I honestly don’t even know where to start with this. I have so much Jason Mraz stuff that it feels like a monumental task to even put it out there. And will anyone even want it? I don’t know. Will anyone even know where to find it if they do want it? Probably not. I am feeling discouraged about the amount of time and effort I have poured into this website. If you are visiting, please comment on my guestbook so I know there is someone out there in internetland reading this. I am still trying to sell my TV. Please buy it. It takes up half the house and I don’t need two of them.

Layouts

I am exploring ways to keep my layouts in order for the website. I am looking forward to a time when I have them all in one place instead of scattered all over LiveJournal. I have run into the issue of how to organize them here, though. I need to integrate a tags function so I can tag each layout and I also need a way for people to search what they are looking for. Oh, and if anyone is looking for a television set, we just bought a new one. I have a 32″ flat panel TV sitting on the floor in my living room. Please buy it!

Remodeling

I am about 50% complete with the “remodel” of this website. Did I say a few days? Make that a few more. I got stuck with the login box on the layouts page. I have never worked with databases or MySQL before and have very little PHP experience. I managed to hash it out, thanks to a hundred hours of reading tutorials online. I added some layouts to the layouts page. I also created a guestbook (which I will be fitting into the site design) and a forum for people to ask questions and troubleshoot any issues they have. Both of these things are in beta phase currently and have no practical use quite yet. I’m not even sure where to fit the links for them into the site design, honestly. Next I will be working on getting a WordPress up and running as well adding more layouts and (eventually) web templates to the site.
