Look for new design this week!
Sorry for the hurty blue everyone! I remembered after I redid the CSS that this combo was not pleasant for the PC users and flat panel users last time I used it.
But not to worry! I’m migrating to WordPress this week, so this site will have NO design at all for a bit. Heh! Yep, simple out of the box WP. It’ll look something like this – which is Heather’s new site, btw. Nick and I set her up with hosting and got WP installed for her last week. :-) She’ll be using her new blog very soon, so stay tuned!
We’re sort of on a WP tear right now. Nick is changing his site to it, we’ve gotten Heather up, we’re moving MINT Gallery to WP and probably our biz site will be WP as well. Needless to say, we really love WP! Its interface and ease of use is far FAR superior to Movable Type. When MT went to paid, we knew there’d be someone to step up and make a better free blog package and sure enough, up comes WordPress. They also offer free blog hosting like LJ! They’ve got over 2 million subscribers to that, so it must be working pretty well. :-)
For those of you who want to have your own blog but don’t want to hassle with software installs and all that, I suggest TypePad. It’s a SixApart product which is based on Movable Type, but it’s an all in one solution for blogging: hosting + software preinstalled = you’re ready to blog. It’s a great product, but not free. In any case, having your own site is never free unless you’re a reseller like me who can set up accounts willy nilly under my unlimited account. It’s not free for me, either, it’s $50/mo, but I’ve got several web clients that pay me for hosting so it’s paid for.
Anyway, that’s the report for today. Expect some changes around here very soon.
MT malfunction [edit]
Update: Yay! Apparently it was Firefox having the issues, not MT. But PLEASE, if you see something weird or you have ANY trouble with the colors or design, leave a comment! I’ll fix it!
I can’t get MT to accept the CSS changes OR file changes for any pages other than this one… So if you click to look at a single entry or an archive page you’ll see the old graphic for Leonardo – which has been replaced. Weird.
HOLY SHIT! It’s fubared completely on the laptop, too! OY! I think Firefox is having issues, it renders fine with Safari… Just damn!
Hopefully it’ll straighten out in a day or so.
The code is right but the output files are not. I can’t explain it, so I can’t fix it, either. ::sigh::
About those shoes
So, as you remember from a previous post, I found a pr of my cloggy sandals on eBay and bought them. It took the stupid girl (shellclarkrn, DO NOT BUY FROM HER) 2 weeks to get the shoes to me. So when I send her an email wondering where the hell my shoes are, they show up the next day. I was so excited! But then I noticed that the shoes seemed to be loose in the box…
I opened the box to find, to my dismay, that they shoes were indeed LOOSE in the frelling box. Not a shred of packing. Not even a receipt or one sheet of newsprint. Of course the shoes were all banged up from bouncing off of each other in shipping. They are WOOD, after all!! I was pissed about this, but then I took a good look at the shoes and – get this – they didn’t even MATCH!!
Bitch sold me a mismatched, beat up pair of shoes! She says in her ebay post about how “new” they are… “I wore these one time. They are in perfect shape and you can’t even tell they were ever worn.”
What a load of bullshit! So, I promptly left her NEUTRAL feedback, not even the NEGATIVE the bitch deserved. I know better than to leave negative feedback for these assholes on eBay. It causes a flame war and they ALWAYS deny any wrongdoing. As she denies any wrongdoing with the neutral. She’s such a bitch. I sent her a message informing her that she should be happy for the neutral since she deserved negative and she writes back whining about how horrible I am and that I should’ve asked her about it.
Well, excuse me, but I do NOT have time to go back and forth with some random eBay bitch about a $5 pr of shoes that SHE fucked up. She insists that the shoes are “perfect”, etc. etc. Rilly? Behind the cut are pix of the “perfect” shoes. What do you think?
Memorial Day art!
At the pool party we attended on Sunday at the lovely Ms Martha and Topher’s casa, they have a wonderful tradition of all newcomers painting a square alongside their pool. So we did a Pool Weasel and a hydrangea.
Like so:
They LOVED them!!
The party was damn fun, too! :-)
Thanks for inviting us, guys!
