My happy thing for today: Those arriving in the mail. I'm planning to wear them when I visit my parents (25th/26th) ^_^

I've also started looking for a WordPress layout to customize. My German blog really needs a new outift =)

#1
Get better. And it starts on January 23! That is not to say that I'm not afraid. I'm utterly terrified. But everything else would be odd, I suppose. And I'm going there, don't worry.

#2
Have an awesome wedding. One with lots of presents and good food and nice people. Oh yeah!
... crap, I still need a best (wo)man. HALP.

#3
Write. Start writing again and, preferably, don't stop. Never ever stop. I have so many worlds, so many places and things and people and images in my head. They cannot stay there forever. I've been writing all my life, and it has made me happy, if only in my little world and only for a while. But it was good. And I need to, want to get hold of that again, grasp it, cling to it and never, ever let go. Writing is all about me, I am all about writing and I want it back.

#4
Make a decent website about Kai #2, if possible, bilingual. That's gonna be a lot of work, but I feel like doing it. Of course, if I wasn't the big old coward I am, I'd add "get a hold of the guy and meet him", but y'know...

#5
Read more. Books, I mean. I read loads and loads, but it's mostly stuff on the 'net. I know, a lot of it can be useful and educating and stuff, but the way things are now makes me feel somewhat inferior. So, read, dammit!

Phew. That was a lot. Actually, I've never made resolves before. So let's see how this works, shall we?

Miss building-sized ego didn't reply. But I don't care anymore.
Which is not to say that I didn't lean anything from the experience. Too bad it's not a positive lesson at all. It actually made me understand some of the people on the 'net who steal and cheat. It's just so damn frustrating when you try to be honest and this is what you get. There goes another huge chunk of my belief in mankind *sigh*

So I made another layout. It's got the weird version number 9.2. Well, actually, it's more or less the same thing than the other one, it only uses a different picture and different font/link colours. And I like it as much as the old one which is good. Now I only need to re-write the sidebar.

Speaking of sidebar. If you use WordPress, you should try the Sidebar Widget Plugin.
There's no better way of organizing your sidebar. And you can define up to nine custom sidebar boxes to put your picture, various texts and buttons, and - most importantly - any functions you need to call for other plugins to work (things like Visitor's Info or Wayback).

The only drawback is that you have to use a widget-ready theme for the plugin to become effective. But I found that there are countless of them around so it's only a minor problem.

Hell, I love WordPress.

Apparently, the person usually gets paid by people who want to use her art.
Either that or they just quietly steal her stuff.
Just asking permission seems to have been the wrongest thing to do here.
Nice.
