New Look at Crooked Glasses!

YES! After four long years of staring at my noobish WordPress layout over on my blog, Crooked Glasses, I finally bit the bullet and switched the theme to the prepackaged Twenty Fifteen look, editing only a few colors and widgets to get it the way I wanted.

The FAQ and Links pages have been cleaned up and reworded to feel more professional. I’m also using an Archive widget instead of a custom page now, and I got rid of my feeble attempt at an Article Series page because I really don’t have any idea how to make it work anyway. ^o^

…And now I officially win the “Super Lazy Designer” Award! YAY!!! ROFL

New Affiliate: Invincible.Nu! (Plus More Updates!)

The awesome Shin of invincible.nu has affiliated with WithinMyWorld.org! Go visit her wonderful web work! 🙂 She also affiliated her blog at Shinrei.org with my blog at Crooked Glasses.

Other News:

  • I updated Elusive Enchanter with a completely new layout because I realized I hated the huge header image. Go see what I made in its place–MUCH better, in my opinion!
  • Added a ton of new upcoming sites to the projects page–lots of book heroine shrines coming up here at WMWorg!

Redesigned Novel Page! Go See It, It’s AWESOME :D

So, I’ve been racking my brain for a week trying to figure out how to redesign my novel page, and I finally did it!!!

LOOK AT THIS AMAZINGNESS!!! I can’t believe that I made something so elegant!

Actually, I had a lot of help–I wanted an update-able progress bar (i.e., something I didn’t have to create new in Photoshop every time I updated my book), and after a few seconds of Google searching, I found HTML5Doctor’s writeup of the <progress> tag, which showed how to use and style a progress bar. Then I checked the W3Schools article for a little bit more help, and that’s all I needed!

Anyhow, now my novel page is happily in the 21st century and easy to update. *commence ridiculous amounts of celebrating*

Novel Page Update!

I am definitely still writing my novel, and my novel page now reflects the most recent conditions! Can you believe I’ve got 168,000 words so far? 😀

(By the way, I’m not putting anything of my novel online to keep it from getting stolen, but you can keep up with how fast I’m writing it by looking at the novel page. ^_^)
