Aw, man…

So, it hasn’t been a week yet… But, yeah, I’m blogging anyway, lol. I guess I’ll just make sure more than 7 days don’t go by between posts.

As I mercilessly roamed around, I noticed a lot of birthday blog entries. They reminded me of how I didn’t post about my birthday this year. And that, reminded me of other important events I failed to mention. And that, made me sad.

I planned to just lay face down on the bed, and mumble obscenities into my pillow. But, this seems better some how…

  1. I graduated from college with honors — B.S. in Accounting. Almost all my extended family came to see me walk. We haven’t gotten together in a long time, and they chose my graduation to finally do it.
  2. I commenced operation bum-around-and-just-have-fun. Sleeping, Movies, water parks, clubs & bars, parties, shopping, television, chilling…
  3. I celebrated my 22nd birthday (gemini). My boyfriend got me a new iPod Touch; my other one was stolen. We went to a nice restaurant, and partied, partied, partied. Other gifts were cute little things and cards.
  4. I decided to remain 2,500 miles from home, because I am in love. This forced me to decline a high-paying job at a top 10 university. My mom set it up for me; didn’t even have to interview.
  5. I adopted a 3 month old kitten from an animal shelter; named him Alex.
  6. I got a post-grad job. It pays about half as much as the one I passed up.
  7. I set my blog back up.
  8. Currently – Milking my last week of freedom for all it’s worth.
 
 

Woooo!

New layout! The last layout was a theme from NDesign Studio. It was a unedited premade, so I decided not to add a screen shot to the Previous versions section of my Domain page.

I made this layout myself. It was going to be 100% CSS, but I used a background image instead of colored divs.

This is the first time I’ve had more than one post on the front page. It’s also the first time I’ve used tags. I widget’d the tag cloud too. I guess I’ll start using categories next… And some real plugins. I am only using one plugin right now; Contact Form 7. I didn’t want to complicate things further.

I am so relieved to have this WordPress migration finally done. It took me hours to fix the formatting on all the posts I imported from Cutephp (Cutenews). I decided not to even try to fix the thousands of imported comments. I just deleted them. They can be read in my Cutephp Archive.

All my websites are now pretty much done. They’re listed under projects in the sidebar. OH Avenue needs content, but I created a real layout for it. The other two have been done. At some point, I’ll update their doctypes.

Well, I’m back. I plan to update once a week, and don’t see any reason why I won’t… But, I’ve said this before, lol.

I decided to stop putting off my websites, because the layouts don’t “feel” right. So, here is one I like, but didn’t make. I also have a non-original theme over at ohavenue.com. And I thought this was cute…
