Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other!

Very belatedly ganked, but I've been meaning to do this meme because it was interesting to me. So, go wild, give me more than one topic or whatever you're game for.


Also, trying a new layout, "Noir". It might be a keeper for a bit while I continue my quest for The Perfect Layout For Me. Will add to it/change some things around later when I have time.

And man, do I wish IJ would update whatever code they have to update to get tag-related things fully functional. I want to use my FF script here to get my tag list on the post page.

Dear Fairly Tales,

FLSKGJSDFLK I LOVE YOU TOO. SO MUCH OMG.

Much, much love,
Me

I'm so overwhelmed with love for that game right now, it's unreal. I've loved it for a long time now, but seriously, Snaps Cup meme idea ftw. I still have to get back in there and finish commenting to everyone. Boo on lack of time - on his days off I give Husband Boy the run of the computer most of the day so I've not had enough time to do everything I usually do on Tuesday-Friday. I'm really grateful for the feedback, even wrapped in love like it was, as I was having some minor doubts about one of my characters and if I should keep him. The comments really helped me decide I should, as well as be motivated to get interaction around his current antisocial predicament.

In other news, I am already not feeling this new journal layout as much as I thought for an interim layout before I found more/made one. Comment pages are all weirdly laid out, so I disabled them. It was fun to customize a bit, but ultimately not what I was looking for and I don't yet know enough about CSS to make my own from scratch.

Anyone have any favorite Flexible Squares layout makers on LJ (or even here on IJ?)? That happens to be the one I've set up here, but I can also set up Smooth Sailing from the nameless_layout source codes available. I REALLY want a layout I can add HTML to in some fashion in the sidebar, but a MUST is having tags listed on the layout, rather than having to go to the tags page to fetch them.

Currently uploaded: 50 out of 300. I need to upload more icons. Blah, I am lazy today.

Christmas was good as always. Zoey seemed to enjoy it, even if wrapping paper wasn't all that interesting after the novelty of ripping the first present wore off, and it's always nice showing her off. poisoniv13@LJ certainly enjoyed continually giving her a faux mohawk at every opportunity. I need to get more pictures when that happens. :P

One of my presents from Zane was a book on CSS, which I really wanted. Already it's helping me clean up a lot of my coding techniques and clarify things I've only guessed at before, so I think my websites will definitely benefit from it. The fun addition, however, is that I've already been able to manipulate some journal layouts because my understanding of it has improved so much - now I feel confident about monkeying around where I didn't before when I was just guessing at what bits of code should do. My LJ now has extra components (I just need to get around to filling them beyond the test text and icons, hee) and as I'm not likely to buy paid accounts for communities to create new styles on IJ, I have already been able to edit in a header in one of mine and dani_forever's IJ RP comms. I was pretty pleased with that!

I do have a few templates to monkey with and more I want to go looking for, so I may change AR's layout even after making a header image to match its current layout. I'd really like the ability to add HTML into the sidebar of whatever layout I'm using, as I liked my Transmogrified set up on GJ, but until squeaky adds more layouts, it'll have to wait.

I just put up a Coppermine gallery for Zoey on her website, so while the site itself isn't done beyond that, at least the gallery looks good and seems to be working well. The layout of it is wonky in Netscape on certain pages, but I don't know enough to check over the theme I downloaded, so it'll likely stay until I do.

RL (holidays) have me so behind creatively, though, so I'm looking forward to the upcoming weeks of catch up. I like being busy with writing and creating, it's a good feeling.
