button button…

Friday, March 04, 2005

I made a button for my begging-for-referrals so I don’t have to make a sticky post.  It’s over in the side bar to the right.

And referrals do need to be completed, or they don’t count.

$1 to get a $20 gift card from Lowes or Circuit City..
$9.99 (1st month) for BlockBuster Online (like NetFlix)...
credit card offers…
beauty products…

And whoever helps, I’ll put in for a drawing for either something off your wishlist ($40 value) or a small dragon sculpture… your choice!

/niki begs/

edited to add:
I better clarify something… Of the 10 referrals I need for the mini mac, whoever completes their offers, I will put their names “in a hat” and draw ONE name, and that winner will get either something worth $40 or less off their wishlist, or a small sculpture, their choice. :-D

just a matter of time…

Friday, February 18, 2005

Kind of figured not enabling captchas on Josh’s blog would come back to bite me in the ass… The comment spammers finally found him.

So I just added a bunch of IPs to the ban list, and in the field where it lets you select where to redirect blocked IP visitors, I am sending them to yahoo instead.  Ha!

sorry, IE viewers…

Tuesday, February 15, 2005

I got the issue with the sidebar in Safari fixed (it’s amazing what one small missing closing tag will do, except all but Safari was ignoring its absence).

But, I am not going to give myself a migraine trying to fix whatever it is that IE can’t seem to stomach with the CSS.  If you see odd white bars in the body of my posts and in the side bar where pink should be instead (not including the underline beneath the title), well, that’s just IE barfing on the CSS.  And since I rarely use IE other than giving the design a cursory once-over to make sure it’s at least somewhat presentable, I’m not going to worry about it.

Plus, with IE’s tendency to be so full of holes and the subject of many hacker attacks, well, it should be put to rest anyway.

IE is stupid..

My new skin looks so nice in Firefox, why must you be so stupid, IE??
Although I just checked it in Safari, and the side bar is all hokey.

It’s no wonder I gave up the idea of being a web designer for money.  All this browser compliance crap would make me nuts in the span of a few weeks.

:ahhh:

new skin - valentine

Just for the blog, though.  I don’t have the skin for the comments up yet, so it is defaulting to a basic one for now.  I’ll work on the part for the comments section later, I’m too pooped from wrestling with CSS tonight to worry about what’s left to do right now.

I had wanted to have this up before today, being Valentine’s and all, but, oh well.  It’s not the default skin so you’ll need to choose it over on the right.  “Valentine”

If anything other than comments is hokey, let me know.

Later.

okay, skins are back

Sunday, February 13, 2005

I haven’t added the new one I wanted yet, but I’m still working on it.  I just had to tweak some files so I can get the new skin to work without screwing up the others.  :cheese:

Site overhaul

Sorry if comments may be broken or may show old graphics…
I decided to completely overhaul the layout & I need to re-do the way I have my skins set up… So, I defaulted to a basic skin provided by Joelle of Blogmoxie during Expression Engine’s skin contest….

I don’t know how long this is going to take, but if you need to get in touch with me, my email address is in the contact link above.  😊

my memory = sieve…

Wednesday, December 08, 2004

I swear, if my head weren’t attached…


Where was I?  Oh yeah.  I’m trying to remember where to get those little buttons I have on the sidebar.  I thought I had the place bookmarked, but apparently I don’t.  :red:

If someone could point me to the website that has all those nifty little buttons, I’d be ever so happy!  Thanks!!

nifty…

Monday, November 22, 2004

I think the image gallery in EE is nifty.  I still have to tweak the look of it, right now it’s the default template, but there are several images there now.  Some of them I moved from my MT photoblog, which, because I hadn’t set it up to send me an email whenever someone commented there, I hadn’t realized that it was being spammed.  Heh.

Anyway, I also added about 56 photos (the ones that weren’t blurred) from our tour of Kartchner Caverns.  Those are just the ones from my own camera.  Not sure where the ones Josh took are.  Probably still on the memory card.

A link to the gallery is over on the right, under my “About” section.  “Niki’s Photoblog”.  The name of the link is the same, but it now points to the EE gallery.

I really like the batch entries option in the gallery.  All I had to do was upload the lot from Kartchner via an FTP client into the batch folder, EE sees them in the folder and begins the entry submissions.  You name the title (change it, rather, since it comes up as the name of the photo), put in a caption, select the category for the picture, and hit “submit”.  Then it publishes that entry, and automatically goes to the next photo.  And so on & so forth until all of the images in the batch have been submitted as an entry.  Much easier than going one by one via “new entry”, as with that option you have to pick the file to upload, upload it via EE, then do the entry stuff.

All in all, though, it’s pretty cool.
Now to go figure out how I want to change the layout for that page…

see, nice & quick…

Well, that was pretty painless.

Now to play around with the Image Gallery module, and see what else is new.  😊
