I have a lot of comments to be answering. I feel like I missed a lot.
Obama is the president! I’m republican I guess, but I really didn’t like either one of them soooooooooo
I wasn’t all that concerned with who won. I’ll be voting this time four years from now.

First, about my grandfather. Oh my GOD he is awesome. He likes fast cars and tattoos and cats and he’s hilarious. His wife, I guess you could call her my step-grandmother? Is pretty cool as well. She likes to research ancestors and stuff and she’s traced back my dad’s family about 200 years, so if I ever need to make a family tree for history I’m set.

EDIT: I’m home! I got home at like 10:00 last night. God I did not want to go to school today. After this week, (which is only 3 more days) there are 25 more weeks of school.
I’m thinking about getting a job at the SPCA around here. I might have to be older (I turn 15 in December) but I figure I could volunteer a lot so when they are in need of an employee I’d have a better chance. I really don’t want to work at a fast food restaurant. But I figure I could get my permit sometime within the week after my birthday, in those next six months leading up to getting my license, take my classes and maybe get a job so I could pay for car insurance and be driving to school by sophomore year.

Speaking of school, homecoming week’s going to come up soon. On Multiple Monday we dress up like each other, Tacky Tuesday is pretty obvious, Way Back Wednesday (freshman have the 60’s), Thursday we dress up in Halloween costumes (I think not), and Friday we show our “spirit” by wearing school colors. I don’t know how many of those I’ll actually do, but we’ll see.

Anyway what this is really about is how excited I am about Milk.

God I am so excited like I can’t even explain it to you. First a few months ago I was pretty siked when I first heard Emile Hirsch was in it but then I found out James Franco was in it as well and I’m getting all impatient and worked up just thinking about it. Watch the trailer here.
December 5^th!

Anyway, I already know what I’m going to do with the next layout.
I saw the Somewhat True Tale of Robinhood today in school and it was pretty funny.
Wish me patience on Milk and my flights tomorrow. I know I just changed the subjects a lot but oh well. I can’t wait to show you my hostee.

Which brings me to the title: what do you think about hosting? I would love to host people, but it’s rare that you see a site you want to host that doesn’t already have a website of their own. I guess it would never hurt to put up an application form, but even then I still don’t know how to set it up so they can use their own password and login info instead of putting me at risk. I don’t know how to do that and maybe I can’t, but I trust Hailey with it and I would love to host other people if I could.

Back to reviewing: what’s your opinion on it? I see a lot of websites that review other websites and have the mistaken idea that pretty much anyone can review as long as they’ve got opinions. Maybe I’ll feel like adding a review section some day, but I wouldn’t want to do that until I am sure that I can express what I have to say about someone’s site in a way that is helpful, yet doesn’t insult their hard (in most cases) work.

Thanks for all of the amazing compliments on the new layout, especially you Joon ;D
How was your day?

Do you like it? I was getting so tired of the other one, but it was nice I guess. Anyway, I haven’t updated any of my actual content in a while, (or tutorials either) which I will be working on this week. I think me having that old layout just made me not want to even go to my website which led to me just not updating. But if you have any ideas for tutorials, please tell me. And if something’s messing up with the layout, tell me about that too.

Well I had planned on having a new layout up by last Sunday but I had issues with it looking okay in different screen resolutions so after I get a little help with it (which might be like….tomorrow?) It will be up. I’m tired of this layout and I really like the new one and I hope you guys like it too. I can’t wait to have it done.

After this week, only 29 more weeks of school left. Yeah, I’m staying optimistic (only not really). I miss last summer. I mean as much as I love sitting in a cold classroom doing the same thing every single day for the better half of the year, I’m not going to lie and say I’m not counting down. Well I should be getting a new sk soon so that kind of makes it worthwhile, for now.

Anyway, question: Have you ever had tortellini? I’m having it for dinner tonight and not gonna lie its probably my favorite food. It has like 3 different cheeses and its covered with butter (when I make it).

No, it’s not me critiquing on poor offended sites because although one might argue a lot of good and improvement comes out of criticizing someone on their hard work (unless they’ve stolen all of their content), it usually just starts a lot of drama and I’d rather not get hits that way.

But this is about websites I think you should see. And its about websites you think we should see. You can submit a website using the form here. It’s not just for graphics, but you’ll see if you read about it on the main page. I’m working on a November issue now. Tell me what you think?

Keep in mind that I want to inform people of great sites, not remind them of already well-known sites. By the way, expect a nice new simple layout soon.
AAANNDDD if you comment here I think I’ll give you a compliment (totally irrelevant and probably untrue compliment) because I think we all deserve one every once in a while and it’s nice to hear. How was your day?

Well I’m goign to be putting up a new section soon. I’m not going to say what it is, but I don’t really know how to set it up (and by the way this is a different one than what I was talking about earlier) but I think it would be cool and it involves all of you but it doesn’t involve your participation. It will help a lot of you too, I guess. But i’m not sure how to set it up so it might be a while.

Yeah I would go on further but I think you get the point that I hate school with a passion and I have plenty of other problems to go around. I feel like I’m missing something on my website. Hits or whatever else, I wish I could fix it.
AND here’s where you can complain because i want to hear all about it

There are more icon gradients here. There obviously aren’t many but i’m working on it.
There are two new smiley sets here.
Php ask it is now in my side bar (or i guess footer) now.
I added links to my credits.
Photoshop Box has a new layout!
I am working on an icon texture set now. Tomorrow I will make brushes and hopefully there will be new scans up soon. Maybe if school ever settles down, I will have enough time to start a portfolio section.
I am having issues with commenting on fanupdate. It works fine, it just overlaps my bottom section and looks bad. I can’t find a way to put it in a scroll box or something.

SOOOO how do you like the layout
i credit swimchick for the amazing brushes here
school still sucks so updating is at a minimum SORRY

The first day sucked. It wasn’t being in high school, it was being in any school at all. The rest of the days sucked too. Today was the only pretty decent day I had. I finally got switched out of chorus and into drama today.

All of my classes are pretty boring and I have all of the same annoying people in my A.M. classes. Different annoying people in my P.M. classes. We have to dress out in PE Monday because we are going to actually start doing things. God I don’t like school and I really do have an appreciation for the weekends now.

I installed PHPAskIt so all of you 5 people can start asking me questions. It’s here.
BUT I have questions for you guys :(((((

How often do you think a website should change it’s layout?
What grade are you in?
Do you like different organized pages for icons or just one (still organized) large page like the one here?
Do you use any of my content? (what do you use)

I might think of more later, but thanks if you answer them BYE NOW

anyway, i’ve got a few new things up and i just coded a few old tutorials and put them up in misc. i’m still working on that to do list.

GOD I LOVE THAT SONG :’((((
listen to cliquot by beirut it is so pretty/sad o m g
anyway i have a bit of a to-do list to do so let me share it with all of you fine people:

• soft glow colors effect tutorial
• 2 brush sets
• more color palettes
• stocks
• get png section up
• make more pngs
• magazine scans
• 2 icon tutorials
• 2 smiley sets
• recode tutorials for html

can i do that? I DON’T KNOW
i’ll try all this week though. since school’s coming up, i’m trying to get as much done with the time i have now before i’m forced to spend in a classroom.

ANYWAY.
photoshop box is a forum i made with hailey to help people learn photoshop.
i don’t really have anything to update about right now, only that school starts in exactly a week. i don’t know, maybe last year i was saying “god i can’t wait to get back to school, i am so bored” but school is the last place i want to go right now.
for the rest of this week i’m probably just going to work on getting up more content.
