Ok Fine


Ok. My previous post was too extreme. It’s okay to have a Xanga or other blog. Not everyone knows how to make websites or things like that. My main point is that people go crazy trying to mod these things that are very limited in what you can do. But of course, i’s better than having nothing. So whatever.

Kids and their Xangas These Days


Kids and their Xangas make me laugh… They spend time finding all these hacks and mods to make fancy layouts and such. You all don’t realize that you can NOT use Xanga to have a professional looking blog. It’s so funny. It’s like trying to put some clothes on an apple to enhance the apple’s appearance. Instead of having any control of the layout whatsoever, people resort to these dumb little snippets of poorly written html or javascript to “trick out” their Xangas. You know what? You’re all special. I wrote this site in notepad to get a layout. You use the lazy ass blogger thingy. Of course, I don’t use notepad every time, I added a nice little blogging tool so I post things and it just updates. And it embeds itself into the layout I made in notepad. My main point: You lazy people, grab some free hosting and learn html.

It is much more efficient and professional to get a blog using PHP. You have full control over the layout and who can comment on posts. There are no html restrictions and no Ads.

Forums Down


As many have noticed the forums have been down for a few days. I cannot control this. My host messed up the mysql database login thingy and I am waiting for them to correct this issue. No data has been lost. Keep checking the main page because i’ll post when they’re back up.

Portfolioso.com Link Buttons


Big thanks to just dnL and greenwizard88 from the middle_man forums for making me a link button for my site. They are similar and both very good. Greenwizard’s button works better on a light background site while dnL’s button works better on a dark background.

just dnL made this one:

If you go to the bottom of my links page, I added the buttons and html code that you can copy to your site / Xanga or whatever. Check that out here

No One Cares, But This Deserves a Post


I’m so amazed that I figured out how to fix that nasty little MouseTrax bug where the right click menu would lock up and interfere with other programs menus. Yikes – it was annoying me for a while. It took me a while but I still got it. And being new to the whole programming thing, it’s amazing I figured it out. I still won’t finish this until next year. Now I will give it to people. I was holding off a while

And I promise my future posts won’t be about this dumb program anymore. You’re probably sick of hearing it.
