Christmas Vacation 2007-12-29 10:14:43 I go back to school next Thursday. I'm already bored of it because I've already been out for a week. When do you go back to school/work/whatever?
Also, I've gone through and added tags to every single entry in my database, so now all categories are replaced by tags.Advertisement: Use the coupon code CB50 to get [...] Read more:Christmas

Merry Christmas Eve! 2007-12-24 15:13:32 I've put up a new layout, finally. I'm very proud of it because it's less simple (and boring) than my last few layouts. Suggestions for change are welcome.
So, it's almost Christmas
. This month flew by and it seems as if Thanksgiving was only yesterday. My vacation from school is only until the third of January, [...] Read more:Merry

I'm braindead… 2007-12-19 20:42:14 Not really. I've just been without internet service for a week or two. During that time, I watched dumb shows on TV (I Love New York 2), took the ACT, and met Sen. Barack Obama (he's amazing). It was nice having another break from blogging; I kinda needed it. Right now I'm working on a [...]
Sorry… 2007-12-02 09:09:40 I suck at blogging. Instead of tending to my website, I've been playing around on GaiaOnline. I recently rediscovered Gaia and (obviously) I've become addicted.
It's snowed here in northern Iowa and there is a coat of ice on everything because it sleeted as well. I can't go anywhere because my parents don't trust my driving.
Oh [...]
My current favorite fonts 2007-11-21 17:25:05 I love (free) fonts and I download new ones fairly often. I'm going to show you my current favorites.

I wear Converse shoes everywhere I go.

My favorite Firefox extensions 2007-11-18 12:03:18 I couldn't live without my many (15) Firefoxextensions
. Using other browsers makes me feel like I'm browsing naked.
Firebug
Click on an icon in the status bar and you can view all HTML and CSS on a page. It'll show loading time and tell you why the speed is slow or fast. It'll show errors in [...]
I'm back again. 2007-11-17 08:37:54 New layout… and one big change. No reviews, no reviewing. CreativeBurst.ORG is just a blog now- I don't have the time or motivation for reviewing anymore. I'll be contacting all on the queue about this. I'm sorry about quiting with so many sites in the queue.
I accidentally deleted the last entry when I was deleting [...]
It's a blog! 2007-10-30 17:13:29 I haven't been blogging much lately, but I haven't done much besides work on a portfolio. Since I have nothing to write about myself, I'll list all the web tools I'm finding useful lately.
Stripe Generator
Used to make striped images for designs- much easier than doing it in Photoshop.
NetRenderer
Microsoft doesn't have a Mac version of Internet [...]
Working. 2007-10-20 10:16:04 I've been working around the site since the last post. If you haven't noticed, reviews are now displayed here on the main page among the blog posts as excerpts. About Me and About the Site are two different pages once again. I've written a new article, titled "Why I Became Vegetarian."
I'm really working hard to [...]
New layout… again. 2007-10-16 17:02:03 Yes, I know, another one, right? The last one was slapped together too quickly and turned out ugly. It got boring fast, so I managed to put this sexy beast together. I'm working on giving it a bit more of a "pop" still, since it looks kind of boring. Isn't it much better than the [...] Read more:layout
Bomb threats are no fun… 2007-10-14 19:41:14 Thursday after school someone found a bomb-threat note in my school. Things have been crazy at school, and tomorrow will be no different. I won't be saying much on the matter, however, because the idiot doesn't deserve the attention.
I've revised the rule about submitting someone else's site- and I'm thinking about not allowing it anymore. [...] Read more:threats
New Layout~ 2007-10-11 20:42:31 It's orange and black for Halloween! I normally don't create seasonal layouts, but Halloween is a cool holiday. Plus, I doubt I've ever made a theme with orange in it. If you have no idea what I'm on about, and still see the blue layout for some odd reason, click here.
I've finally figured out how [...]
I'm alive! 2007-10-09 17:10:57 No, I'm not dead; I just haven't had the time to blog. I've been working on some things for the site, including a new layout.
I've just noticed on my stats that someone is trying to hack my site, which is pathetic. Whoever you are, get a life.Advertisement: Use the coupon code CB50 to get $50 [...]
I need your help. 2007-10-04 18:27:58 I've redone the queue page so it is no longer just a list Wordpress pulls out of the database. It looks much nicer now. What do you think?
I want to make this the best layout Creative Burst (and all my past sites) has ever seen. To do this, I need your help. Tell me what [...]
Grammar Nazi Time. 2007-10-01 18:07:54 What is happening to our little "world" online? It's as if one's education was for nothing. These days, grammar and spelling skills seem not to matter at all. The majority of mistakes are common and easily fixable if people would just make an effort.
What I see most that annoys me:
Mixing up words, e.g. there, their [...] Read more:Grammar
George W. Dumbass 2007-09-27 21:08:35 You know what? George
Bush is really, really stupid. I guess he has to have something working up there in the cranial cavity to get elected and re-elected, but he says the stupidest things. I love reading "Bushisms" and it always makes me laugh. It also makes me wonder why he's president.
My favorite Bushism:

I feel all empty inside… 2007-09-25 19:08:37 …if I go too long without blogging. It's only been three days, but I was starting to feel like I needed to blog. It's not like I feel obligated to, I just want to. But I have nothing to say, except for that. How much does that suck? Maybe it's because I have no life. [...] Read more:inside
No LULZ?! *withdrawal* 2007-09-22 20:54:39 I haven't gotten much for LULZ today (LULZ = entertainment caused by the stupidity or ignorance of people online and off, commonly related to e-drama) and I'm experiencing withdrawal
! So, readers, where do you go to get LULZ?
I'm working on a new layout; this one is sooo boring.
EDIT: Yay, hurray! New layout is up. Tell [...]
Jumping on the bandwagon! 2007-09-20 17:16:29 Alright, since everyone's (on Snark, anyway) doing it, I'm going to too. Go ahead and comment on this blog and ask any question you want. Random, stupid, and/or silly questions are encouraged. I want to have some fun here =P
I wrote a new article- on Chatspeak. I know, another "online" article. I said I'd do [...] Read more:Jumping
Chatspeak 2007-09-19 14:34:19 No, I'm not going to go through and teach you how to spell and use proper grammar; school does that for you. I'm going to say why using good grammar and spelling is important and why it's idiotic to use chatspeak.
What is chatspeak?
Chatspeak (also known as text talk and, in more advanced forms, leetspeak) is [...]
Yugh. 2007-09-18 20:25:28 Today was just one of those yucky, yucky days. One of those loudy, rainy, and gloomy days. It just makes you tired and want to sleep for hours and hours. It's also hot and humid, but I'm done complaining. On a happier note, I have finally named my computer (geeky tradition of mine)! His name [...]
No title 2007-09-15 15:37:46 It's been a few days. I went to Josh's last night so I wasn't on the internet at all, but I was just being post-lazy the other few days. No real updates, but I did add a Flickr (yup, I joined!) stream to the sidebar. I also removed the sideblog which I never really used.
I [...]
Brrr. 2007-09-11 18:16:15 I'm freezing- but it's supposedly about 70 degrees in here. My air conditioner lies. Plus, I just drank a milkshake. Wise thing to do when you're already cold. I like cold weather though- it's knee-high sock season! I'm a dork and I love striped knee-high stockings.
Random thoughts for today:
I forgot it was September 11th today…

Make the Best Website Ever 2007-09-09 15:58:26 Make sure your layout is as tiny as possible. Thin is in!
Use/redistribute Waks Ask and Answer- and complain about people hacking it.
Write the same exact tutorials found on other sites- another one couldn't hurt, could it?
Using proper grammar and spelling takes too much effort, don't bother. Or, to be even cooler, r3pl4c3 v0w3ls w1th numb3rs.

New Layout~ 2007-09-09 14:50:00 As you can see, I have a new layout- and it's fluid. If someone at a smaller resolution such as 1024×768 (I'm on 1680×1050) could email (hannah.warmbier@gmail.com) me a screenshot, I'd appreciate it. Anyway- this is my first fluid attempt. I'm mostly satisfied with it. It's better than my last layout, and is a bit [...]
*gasp* 2007-09-08 10:22:18 I haven't blogged for three days… mostly I've been reading or just browsing the interwebs. I've also been attacked by my allergies! I'm sneezing at least every five minutes and my nose is running. I think it's from dust and pollen, though I'm not sure. I'd take some feel-better pills but I can't find any.
I'm [...]
No title 2007-09-05 21:47:52 I'm reading the Deathly Hallows and it is amazing… I got it this morning at the school library. I can't put it down- I'm halfway done! I have to say, though, that it's going kind of slow right now.

I love complaining~ 2007-09-04 18:09:53 A lot of things annoyed me today:
People who wear pants falling of their ass
People who litter
People who park badly
Sites with tiny text
Hey, I'm a person that enjoys complaining. I try not to be an annoying complainer though. I'm sure you can relate to my annoyances… it's not like I hate all fat and ugly people [...]
