Happy September! 2007-09-01 09:45:44 I started off September
today chasing a hot air balloon in my dad's truck. We don't usually see things like that. I got some good photos, and I posted one at my new photo gallery, Shutterbug. Photography class so far has helped me learn a lot about my camera. I don't use automatic settings anymore [...] Read more:Happy
Book nerd. 2007-08-28 20:13:23 Oh no! I've fallen into that hole again. Once I pick up a book by Stephen King, I cannot put it down. Right now I'm reading The Shining, which, so far has been amazing. I hate putting down King's books because he just leaves you wondering what's going to happen next. I usually finish a [...]
*barf* 2007-08-26 18:25:04 Windows Vista sucks! Really! It's so complicated and confusing, and the interface is just way too complex. I like XP much better and Mac OS X totally pwns both anyway. But really. I'm helping my mom do some work on her new laptop with Vista. Man coming back to my Mac feels so much better. [...]
Changes to the layout… and my life. 2007-08-25 16:12:33 I had removed post titles because I could never think of what to put… but they're back. I changed the background on accident, so that screwed with my header, so I just stuck the bottom image up there. I want to put up a new layout
soon, so for now I'll leave this miserable excuse [...]
Guess what? 2007-08-22 20:26:13 I am typing this on my new iMac! Damn, this thing is so freaking awesome. The screen is huge and i have so much more space on my desktop despite that! My desk is about three feet square and with my bulky PC I had no space to put things down. I love this.
The first [...] Read more:Guess
School… 2007-08-21 16:05:22 School starts tomorrow. I'm actually excited and it's about time that I go back. Am I a nerd for saying this? Because I hear a lot of people complaining about going back. I love school.
This year I'm taking two computer classes, photography and Spanish 3. My other classes are all lame and boring. Oh well, [...] Read more:School
LULZ I R IDIOT. 2007-08-20 13:26:54 I feel like an idiot right now. You know how I blogged about being impatient last? HA so here's the latest on my impatience. We had a storm around dawn on Saturday and our power went out. Guess what? Internet not working. I unplug everything, plug it back in- still nothing. I decide the equipment [...] Read more:IDIOT
The Title Tag 2007-08-20 12:45:13 The <title> tag in HTML is misused way too much. It is for your site title, nothing else. A tagline, maybe, but keep it short and to the point. It's called a title tag for a reason. It should be clearly typed like normal text. Some people just don't get it- so I'm going to [...] Read more:Title
No title 2007-08-17 09:45:14 Is the internet being attacked by terrorists? Evil Oompa Loompas? Who knows. Tons of my favorite sites are not working today, still. Mine thankfully is working. (Dreamhost is to blame for a lot of them…)
But seriously. My stylesheet in the WP admin area won't load, Gmail won't, and DreamHostStatus won't either. Not surprising, they suck. [...]
Crappy day. 2007-08-15 15:19:06 Today has not been a good day for me. First, I was woken up by thunder and lightning at six o'clock (too early for summer) and then a cricket decided to chirp really loud inside my room. Thankfully my dad was awake so we watched Jaws 3 (which is so CHEESY).
Then, Dreamhost starts being shitty, [...] Read more:Crappy
New layout & more. 2007-08-14 09:27:16 If you haven't noticed, there is a new layout
. I was sick of the dark gray. This theme is much "cuter" and "friendly"- who doesn't like rainbow-y colours? ;D I've redone some of the site structure and the look of the pages. The sidebar now really changes on every page.
If you notice any errors/mistakes, please [...]
I feel so unmotivated. 2007-08-12 20:58:33 Every time I put maintenance mode on to work on my Wordpress theme I get bored and frustrated. I'm trying to make a new one but I just don't want to. I want a new theme, I'm just too lazy to make one. I have tons of inspiration to create, but I just can't use [...]
*squee* 2007-08-11 19:59:17 I'm getting an iMac~ The newest one that came out this week. We've ordered one and it should ship sometime this week, Friday at the latest (hopefully then or earlier). This will be a big change: Windows XP to Mac OS X, 1024×768 to 1680×1050, 512MB 332MB RAM to 1 GB… the list goes on. [...]
I have become aware that… 2007-08-09 12:48:54 …that Creative Burst needs a re-vamp. This layout sucks and my dynamic sidebar is too random. I need to make the site more accessible. I need reviews! I've submitted to about five WPRs of various quality in the past few days.
So, readers, tell me what I need to improve on! Don't be a suck-up and [...]
I'm bad at naming entries. 2007-08-08 09:40:54 I've re-opened reviewing for submission!~ I've been wanting to for a while and had to wait until I switched to Dreamhost. I've also added a list of all the plug-ins I'm using in the "Domain" section.
So, readers (if any! haha): I ask you- Isn't it hard naming blog entries sometimes?Advertisement: Use the coupon code CB50 [...]
Get & Keep Website Traffic 2007-08-07 17:18:05 Just having a website won't automatically get you hits, you have to market it! In this article I have gathered the easiest way to gain visitors to your site- and keep them.
Get More Hits
Meta Tags
List relevant keywords in a meta tag and you can get yourself listed in search engines. Relevant as in don't stuff [...]
Reviewing 2007-08-07 12:47:16 [EDIT] Server change complete. [/EDIT]
I've noticed a trend lately - WPR sites. And most of them are (pardon my French) shit. Created by tweenies that haven't the slightest idea about W3C standards and use the smallest fonts. There are some great review sites out there, I know. But I've been coming across review sites that [...] Read more:Reviewing
No title 2007-08-06 20:01:21 I got my hair cut today! I got shorter layers and my bangs aren't in my eyes as much anymore.
I got my driver's license, too. Watch out America! Hannah's going to be out on the road! I'm not that bad of a driver, really, I just have a shorter attention span. At least I don't [...]
Online friends… 2007-08-04 11:32:28 How the heck do people get tons of online friends? Maybe this is a n00bish question, but I really don't get it. Maybe it's because I'm shy. Maybe it's because 90% of people I "know" online have AIM, and I don't? I know I have a few online friends. But I'm not really very close [...]
Time Flies 2007-08-03 15:36:09 I've just realized something. School is coming up really fast. It's starting only about 3 weeks. At that time, Josh will be going off to college. I won't get to see him much. It hasn't really hit me yet that I won't see him very often, but I'm trying not to think about it.
I'm making [...] Read more:Flies

I'm back! 2007-08-02 10:28:23 Yep, that's right, I'm back. And I'm now powered by Wordpress. It's so much easier than static pages. I recommend using WP for your CMS. Anyway.
I saw the Simpsons Movie last night, which was hilarious. I also went to the County Fair which was boring because Josh and I didn't have any money for anything. [...]
I'm not dead… 2008-05-16 17:16:20 In exactly two weeks from today I'll have my first day of vacation. Right now I'm working on writing a few (4) papers for my composition class. That's about all I have to do until semester tests which start a week after next Tuesday. Actually, I don't have any tests scheduled Tuesday, so technically it's [...]
Hiatus 2008-05-20 18:58:54 Blogging has become less of a fun hobby and more of a "I gotta blog so my visitors won't think I'm dead" thing. I've recently rediscovered my passion for fanlistings and I'm spending a lot more time managing my listings and my collective at Afficionados.
I never thought I'd say this about CB but I'm going [...] Read more:Hiatus
