Fireworks

Hope everyone had a nice July 4th! (Or for those of you who aren't from the US, hope you had a happy early-July time anyway.)


You may have noticed that the organization of the site has been slightly changed - no more portfolio section, and no more d-zine section. Those parts were pretty much dead anyway - wasn't sure what to do with them for the longest time...in the end they just landed in the Recycle Bin *-*.

Also, layout designs which used to be a part of the Graphics section have now branched out into an independent Designs section. I'm thinking about adding some scripts for download in Designs as well...but that idea is still in the planning phase. Tutorials off temporarily (revamping) and Signs from Graphics have been taken off permanently (didn't fit quality standards).


For the past few days I've been cleaning up a bunch of old code (written maybe half a year ago o.o;) so the layout is much cleaner than before. Yucky work...but I treated myself to a sinful helping of ice cream when i was finished, so life's still good.

That's all for now ~ doncha just love reading my updates? <3


New Gallery Section! Partially since I've been getting quite a few requests for images, and also because I've been wanting to make one anyway, I decided to add this new feature to DR.

Be sure to read the rules and enjoy!

Summer is coming...

Finally!

I will still be taking summer school, but at least I'll have more time to wall etc.

However, before summer officially comes, I'll be having some humongo projects due + finals week right after - which means walling will probably have to wait another week and a half or so.

Now for some announcements:

After some long, grueling hours, I finally got the Reviews Section re-coded, PHP-ified, and MySQL-ified. I expect adding reviews to be a lot easier from now on.

For those of you who do use the site's feeds, you may have noticed that the old link no longer works. It has been updated to rss.xml, which is now also automated with every new update I make. This should make this easier and faster for poor me (yeah, I know you care!).

The top navigation has been recoded for more cross-platform compatibility. More improvements in this area will probably be made in the future....

...Also MySQL-ified.

Future projects include revamping the tutorials section...maybe -_-

That's all for now.

Hope you all enjoy the ending of school and the beginning of SUMMER VACATION! w00t!


Added star ratings for Reviews sections.



Apparently my admin email has been acting kinda funny this week. My host is currently working on it.

In the meantime, please use the Contact Form to contact me if necessary.

April Showers

Why the title?

Because this month has been full of rainy days. Beautiful, rainy days.


And work. And a sister's 18th birthday. And school. A Wedding. The whole nine yards and more.


So yeah...a very big "shower."



For those of you who visit my weblog, you'll know that I recently bought a new computer - a mac, no less.
A few days ago I installed my beloved Macromedia programs, and a little more recently, Adobe Photoshop CS and Illustrator CS. Pretty sweet.

So what does this mean?

You will have to exercise a little more patience before my new wallpaper comes out.

As for designs...I expect I'll be working on the newest one after this update is finished.



To the one and only MochiMonster!


...For two major events:

1. Becoming a Stanford Nerd


2. Soon-to-be Major Transformation to 18-year-old Adulthood! (This special event occurs on the 25th, so be sure to SPAM her blog with happy wishes!)

I am currently updating the site URLs. So far, the wallpapers section has already been updated. The rest of the graphics section, and eventually the other sections of the site
will also be updated.
