Phew!

This whole rebuilding the site thing is taxing, even though I have most of my content. (A few files have been empty or corrupt, though, which has not been fun). I’ve completed almost everything in the me section as well as the entire site section (save for an upcoming site map). Tomorrow I will upload the rest of the photos, I think. Maybe “hope” is a better word.

Attention!

If you are a clique, directory or fanlisting owner looking for links back..

If you are looking for the Lita Ford, Collide or Katatonia fanlistngs..

If we have any sort of agreement about sponsored content..

It will be back!

Because of the issues with my previous host, I do not have access to the content previously on my website. This is a temporary issue that I hope will be resolved within a few days time. However, I cannot do anything to speed this process. Unfortunately, I can only offer you this knowledge and ask for your understanding (and leeway) in this issue.

“It’s Thursday Morning” just does not have the same ring does it?

I just finished importing all my blog entries and comments from blogger.  It certainly is the end of an era. 7 years with both my host and Blogger have come to an end. I know good things are in store but, honestly, I feel a bit anxious.

Coming Soon!

Something worthwhile here!

Advertising?

Blogger has let through a lot of spam in the comments lately. It’s a shame. The spammers seems to have decided that e-mail alone isn’t good enough so they’re leaving comments as well. One such comment, which may have been legitimate was regarding blog sponsorship (IE blog advertisement). While I have been investigating different services for blog sponsorship, it is not my intent to use these services in this, my personal blog.

However, with that said, you may notice some Amazon links here and there. I have previously linked to Amazon detail pages for items I have reviewed or discussed and I have simply began using the Amazon Associates program for the links I have and will post. The only major change you will notice, most likely, is a product preview when you mouse over the links.

Rest assured that you can keep avoiding my blog only because you don’t like it and not because I use ads. -w-

Could I have your attention please?

If you look to your left – figuratively, of course- you’ll notice I’ve nearly finished uploading all the pictures. I’ve also been working on a sub-navigation for the pictures portion of the site to ease up on loading time as some pages were becoming quite crowded!

You’ll now notice that each link on the pictures page goes to a section; think of these as albums. Sections contain pictures related by subject, location, date or event.

Each album will be made up of one or more page which contain pictures that relate to eachother more specifically. If there are more pages, they will be linked to other pages by a “Previous” or “Next” link. If there are no other pages, there will be no link. Individual pages will no be linked to on the pictures index.

There are similar links to the “Previous Section” and “Next Section.” Except for the very first and last section, each section will have a functioning link to the sections before and after them.

So, if you start in the first section, the pictures of me section, you can page through the entire section by clicking the “Next link.” At the end of the section (or anytime before) you can go to the Next Section, family and pets, by clicking the respective link. The sections follow the order in which they appear on the pictures index: Me, Family and Pets, Samantha, Amanda, Halloween 2005, Tokyo Disney 2007, Ryusendo Caves 2007, Narita Origami Museum, My Trip to Wausau 2008, Miss Gay Wausau Pageant, Tokyo DisneySea 2008, and Ueno Park and Zoo 2008.

Generally, the last album will be the most recently uploaded pictures; however, the photos of myself are constantly updated and are arranged by date, with the newest toward the top.

I’m thinking of adopting this sub-navigation for the Website Primer, what do you think?

1,000 Words

I am slowly-but-surely changing the format of all the pictures pages on the site (again). So far I’m focusing on pictures other than of myself and I’ve updated or create pages for Amanda, Samantha, Pets, Past Pets and Family.

I also just finished the pages for Tokyo 2007, Halloween 2005 and Ryusendo Caves.
