Thanks to Grooveshark.com, I finally have a “radio” (actually a playlist) of my absolute favorite songs! Go check it out–it contains 40 of my favorite songs, and they cover a wide spectrum, so you’re bound to find something you like or something you haven’t heard in AAAAAGES.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think in the comments! 😀 😀
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:
Since my huge revamp is done, I’ve added a few new projects to the projects page…4 upcoming sites and one new feature, plus some more minor revamps in various places. Check ’em out, and keep an eye on this page, since I’ll update immediately when these new sites are revealed!
On my main page, you can now see several web cliques I’ve joined (under “Joined” on the sidebar). 🙂
I also joined the Amassment.org Forums a couple of weeks ago and am enjoying it thus far. It’s great to be back in an active community of webdesigners!
I did a teeny-weeny bit of tidying around my personal page and my faith page, fixing some minor layout and linking issues that I finally noticed.
Still in the process of updating The Gamer’s Repose–I’m kinda stuck at the moment, but hopefully will pull free and start work on it again in the morning. Well, later in the morning, anyway. LOL
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*
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. ^_^)
Now that version 14 is finally (FINALLY) live, I’ve been able to putter around fixing up how certain pages appear within the confines of this new layout. Mostly I’ve fixed design bugs and changed information formatting, like on the following pages:
I’ve also improved the design on this news blog for better readability–greater separation between posts, a solid color behind the posts (finally figured out how to do it without messing up the rest of the layout), and some extra padding and font enlarging both in the posts and comments sections. YAY!
After much, MUCH mental debate, I finally gave my faith page a new look and its own site. I hope y’all enjoy it and, as always, feel free to ask questions or politely comment! 🙂
After some thought, I decided to go ahead and get rid of the fanlistings site. It’s the end of an era here at WMW.org, but perhaps that era has been ended for a long time before now anyway.
For now, I’m not sure what I’ll replace the fanlistings site with, if anything; to be honest, my Tumblr and Pinterest accounts pretty much cover all that my fanlistings ever did (and more besides). Perhaps the fanlistings page idea can be resurrected in a new form…I just haven’t figured out quite what it will be yet. What have my fellow webdesigners come up with in the wake of fanlistings?
