Winter Revamp, Rxpture, Updates

/////UNDER CONSTRUCTION/////

So… Hey, lol. How ya doing?

I’m not in love with my winter revamp, but I’ll probably end up launching it anyway. The problem is the background image…
Where’s all you artists’ Christmas spirit?!

I still get a lot of compliments on this background image. It was made by a 14 year old girl. All her stuff is pretty rad; just be sure to credit.

Anyway,
Tonight I have homework (gag), so I will probably launch the new layout tomorrow night. I’m rather eager to read your feedback.

My web host (or perhaps ISP is to blame) suddenly decided it didn’t want my IP address to visit anymore.
So now I have to do anything site-related (email, updates, stats, blog) through a proxy server. Which pretty much sucks.

+ Boyfriend – Friend – Money + Linked + Frustration = Now

 

It’s a happy Thanksgiving

Site, Holiday, Contest winner

Newly linked: Gyk and Sylvia.

I’d like to thank everyone who participated in the Name Contest!
The winner is Thao with “pen.name”!
There were a lot of good names. However, many of you forgot name was just the domain suffix, i.e. com; which resulted in submissions that didn’t quite make sense.

I do not EVER plan on buying a .name domain.
But, “its-olivia.com” IS going to be replaced.
Evidently, hyphens should be avoided. So I may grab itsolivia.net while it’s still available (.com isn’t).

Changed my mind. Already bought itsolivia.net though. Might turn it into a PPP or B2P, get my $15 back, lol.
My winter revamp will (hopefully) be done today on Sunday

Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s a small gift for those who’d like one.

Are you doing what you usually do this year?

I’m just eating dinner with my family that’s here.
Then, coming right back to my dorm room.
So loving the lack of roommates  happy

 

Eh, screw it

I just found out .name is the official domain-ending for personal websites/individuals. Which is really just awful. its-olivia.name? Eck!
{ $5 via PayPal for whoever thinks of the best .name domain }

I made arrangements to spend Thanksgiving with family in another state. My plane leaves today, but I’m here typing this. Changed my mind last minute. Yes, I’m a jerk, and feel slightly guilty.

I am a quitter.
I’ve quit relationships, taekwondo, dance, caring about school, going to church, graphic design, various clubs, running… Sadly, the list continues.
In fact, the only things I haven’t quit are Internet activities. Been going strong with those for almost 3 years. I guess it’s my thing.

Major site updates coming up
