Actual Updates (with Glitches)

Good news: I finally uploaded Version 17, The Sacred Sea, which has been sitting in development hell on my computer since 2020! Much rejoicing!! I DID A WEB DESIGN THINGY <3 annddddddd I have officially participated in the Amassment web design event being held on Discord this fall!

What’s been updated:

  • Main domain, with 2 pages of new content (gifts and a beginner’s guide to hobby webdesign)
  • Network page
  • Explore page and links page (stopped using the /exits/ and /exits/links/ URLs because I cannot be bothered anymore, LOL)

Bad news: I can’t get the text links to stop using default color and formatting, and I can’t get the paragraphs to stop looking all squashed together. ( Everything else works on the stylesheet, and W3C didn’t catch any code errors, so I have no idea why these two rules are broken.)

I will try to fix it tomorrow, but if I can’t get it fixed, it will probably have to wait till the end of the semester. HOWEVER! I am still counting this as a win because I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to do it. Fall Break helped my brain breathe long enough to do it <3<3<3

And now I am off to get started on my night routine (and try to make my brain shut up about the glitchy code XD)

Music Updates and Happy News

First off, a wonderful wonderful update: I got married on June 21st, 2020! A day I have thought about for twelve and a half years finally came true thanks to the help of lots of loving friends and family <3 it was awesome! 😀

One reason I’ve been pretty slow on updates around here is that my new husband and I are now living in (and renovating/cleaning out) the three floors of the home I grew up in. My dad got remarried in April and moved in with my stepmom instead of staying here–her one-level house is safer for him, given his limited mobility (especially since his strokes in 2018 and 2019). So we’re working on replacing carpet, painting, redecorating as necessary, and processing out all the items we no longer need, etc…which is taking a LOT of time but will be well worth it in the end!

I did, however, make some time to update my “new music” playlist over at Mellifluous–didn’t realize I’d discovered 14 new songs since February! 😀 Check it out when you get a chance!

Updated 2020: Mellifluous!

I updated my music site, Mellifluous, this evening! Now it loads with a fresh new YouTube playlist, containing my recent favorite music–no more waiting years to update because I don’t feel like fiddling with HTML. Woo for modern conveniences!

While updating, I also discovered that all my other playlists and even one of the videos on my All Time Favs page was deleted or missing, so I went through and fixed those problems. All playlists and videos should be good to go again! (It had been about 3 years since I checked them…whoops, lol)

Anyhow, enjoy the newness, and I hope you find a new favorite song among the things I’ve added! I’ve got a little bit of everything!

Declutter and Unspend Updated!

I met my January goal of tidying up Declutter and Unspend! YAY! Good momentum thus far! (The content just needed a bit of rewriting, and there was a code bug in there I had to squash too, LOL)

The next goal will be is to rework and relaunch my gaming site, The Gamer’s Repose. Proposed changes so far:

  • Probably archive most if not all of the “game guides” pages within the individual game sections
  • Write more articles for the “Gaming Tips” sections
  • Combine all lists of links into a masterlist, and sort it better
  • Condense “Site Info” into one page
  • Condense Sitemap
  • Completely redesign layout

I’ve already started on a lot of this work (like the layout, combining and condensing), but it still needs a lot of love. I want to make it an unusual gaming site, more focused on the life of a gamer, how to take care of collections, how to have more fun with it…any ideas for articles along that line that you’d like to see? Send it through the contact form!

New Friend Link and behind-the-scenes work!

The Nostalgia Project has its first link! Ainna of Northstar.nu emailed me a few days ago and let me know that my site had inspired her to finish her own nostalgic project about the late 90s web clique Scented Angels–her lovely tribute is called Scented, and so I’ve linked to it there to join in the memory fun! (I’ve also linked Ainna’s main domain on my Links page, under “friends”–check her site out when you get a chance!

Also, I’m currently doing background work on both Tomorrow’s Calling and The Gamer’s Repose. Both sites will receive edits to their articles, pictures, and layouts as I get time–no changes are up yet, but I hope to have some things uploaded soon. (I am superbly lazy and spend a lot of time messing around on my tablet at home, XD, but I am getting things done slowly but surely!)

Yes, Still Alive, LOL

I know it’s been more than a few hot minutes since I did much on my domain, but I’m still here! It’s just been hard to muster up the energy to work on websites much. I want to do stuff, but then I boot up the computer and my brain is just “you know what? …nah.” LOL! I still have several ideas for my sites, though. I will start nudging some things around in March and see how many flying flips I can spare for webdesign stuff!

Speaking of computers, I may be looking into getting a new computer at some point this year, because my current one is almost 7 years old and I’m not sure how much longer she’ll last. 🙁 She’s been a good one, though, and I don’t want to trade her in till she just doesn’t run anymore. I really like the ASUS brand laptops (especially the gaming ones like this one) because they just seem to be made to last much longer than normal laptops, just like I like ’em. If anybody has recommendations on what I should upgrade to, especially if it’s within the ASUS brand, let me know!

New Host and Actual Updates, Wow

Things have been a bit busy behind the scenes here at WMWorg! Recently, I found out that my previous host was going to be tripling the price of my plan, so I purchased new hosting with Teacake.org and moved there officially this past week. There were a few bugs to iron out, but Masao (the owner of Teacake.org) was super awesome with troubleshooting and getting me settled in. YAY for great web buddies ♥

Also, I’ve been doing a bit of cleanup work around the main page, network page, and links page. It had been almost two years since I updated the links page, but admittedly the last year and a half has been pretty hectic IRL, so it’s understandable. Now, at least, everything is tidy again, and my newest site The Other Slipper has its official place on my network page!

Lastly, I had hoped to release a project on October 25th, but work on that has been delayed due to my health. Hopefully I will get feeling better ASAP and can finish it, because it’s a labor of love and I can’t wait to show it off!

Updates, Updates Everywhere!

OKAY, so it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything! Let me catch you up on everything that’s happened within my world:

SITE UPDATES

First, there’s a new site in town here: The Other Slipper, shedding new light on Disney’s 1950 adaptation of Cinderella. It was created for the One Page One Month marathon over at Amassment. I am ridiculously proud of this site, since it covers an unusual topic that’s been very close to my heart since I was a child. It is all on one page, so all you have to do is scroll to enjoy the content. Let me know what you think about this new site in the comments on this post, or in the “guestbook” (click “Guestbook” at the top right of this page).

Second, I’ve got a couple of ongoing projects I’m doing–Turning Toward Day is my quasi-blog with some positive thoughts/encouragement, frank talk about faith, and honest life struggles, etc. Also, over on my Instagram page, I started making ASMR content this summer, and I’m now doing videos with serialized short stories on there! Check ’em out when you get a chance–this has been a LOT of fun to do and people seem to enjoy the stories so far.

Third, I hope to finish a couple of sites I’m still working on. I still have lots of work to do on my Seto Kaiba fansite, and I’m also participating in a Sailor Moon marathon, with a planned site about Mamoru Chiba. Who knows whether I’ll actually have brain energy/stop procrastinating long enough to finish both of these, but I’d like to!

LIFE UPDATES

First, I had a very busy summer health-wise. In the space of a month (May 25th-June 25th), I traveled out of state to an awesome gynecologist, discovered I had a 7cm mass in my left ovary and “heterogeneous” tissue in my uterus, and had laparoscopic surgery and a D&C to remove the mass and the weird tissue. Thankfully, nothing was cancerous (that was the big worry, and was why we had to move so fast), but I did lose my left ovary in the process, since the mass turned out to be a giant mucous cyst that pretty much ate all the normal ovarian tissue. (I had no idea cysts could eat ovaries, but apparently they can!) My surgery was June 25th, and it took a full six weeks to recover completely because one of my stitches busted, but it was nothing serious. I’m doing a lot better now and not having nearly any of the symptoms I suffered with for four and a half years, though there may be some trouble ahead regarding hormone levels. Hoping everything normalizes out!

Second, I never posted about this on my domain when it happened and I’m not sure why, but I got engaged!! It happened on December 4th, 2017–the proposal was sweet and simple, just us, no fanfare, just like my awesome fiance. I honestly had no idea he was going to do it, and apparently he’d been planning and saving for it with his mom’s help for about 4 months. We haven’t set a date yet due to all the health weirdness and uncertainty, but now that I’m recovered and actually working (!), hopefully we can plan on a date soon. :D!!

Third, I started professional voice lessons in November of last year, and my voice teacher thinks I have a lot to work with and that it could take me to the big time. It’s taking a while to train out all the bad habits and actually free my voice, but from what I’ve done so far, I can say I’m super excited by the possibilities!

TL;DR

In chronological order since fall of last year, I made a blog, started professional voice lessons, got engaged, started working on a couple of site ideas, had major surgery, and created one new site! Whew, that’s a lot! LOL!

Updated: Mellifluous and Unwind

Finally managed to do a little maintenance and updating on my music site, Mellifluous, and my ASMR site, Unwind. Mellifluous now boasts 5 “hot new” songs from my collection, audible through YouTube videos, and Unwind has 67 new featured videos! Wooo!

In other news, I am still hard at work on my Seto Kaiba fansite and hope to release that later this year if time and health permit. (I’ve been facing possible surgery so things have kinda been crazy around the house :/ )
