Jesus, finally I am DONE with the lay0ut. Thankfully, I didn’t need to learn a whole lot of PHP (even though I know that eventually, I will have to).

I had the hardest time doing the simplest thing. I wanted to put the search field within the title bar, and for some reason, I just couldn’t do it! I tried moving the code around, making new divs, and god knows what else for at least 2 hours. Finally, I just said, “Fuck it, I’m going to take a shower.” So I did, and I felt much more relaxed afterwards. After a little while, I came back to the computer… and I suddenly figured out. I had to put the search bar code in the ONE place I hadn’t tried before. >:( Bah. Well, at least I figured it out.

I’m currently in the process of adding and editing all the widgets to the sidebar and linking all my blog buddies. I’ve been trying to find those cute little icons that people use to link to their myspace, facebook, photobucket, etc etc… I may just contact someone who has them and ask if I can borrow them for my own blog. :/

I hope this was not all in vain, and that at least some people will comment on this blog.  I’ll have to start advertising it to all my friends.

And now, I must get some nourishement.

Until next time.

Voila! My first entry in my very first self-made (somewhat) blog! No more Livejournal or MySpace journals for me, boy. Hoorah! I had seen a bunch of sites with the “WordPress” copyright at the bottom, and became curious about making my very own blog on my own domain. I don’t know if I would have been able to make one when I was still using Malicia‘s subdomain, but I knew that with my own domain, I could definitely do it.

Thanks so much to WordPress for their ingenious coding and support.

One of the main reasons I wanted my own blog: Recently, a pixel club I’m a member of, the Quilting Bee, had an official Blog Day, where all the members wrote an entry talking about why and how much they love the club. I felt left out, since I didn’t have a real blog of my own. Another reason is that I grew tired of the massive amount of idiots I had to deal with on Livejournal. On my own blog, I have no rules. I can speak my mind freely (within reason) and not have to worry about being banned or removed for “bad behavior”. So suck on that, LJ admins!

I’ve spent most of my day just learning all the ins and outs of the coding WordPress uses. I think I am going to have to force myself to learn PHP, even though I am dreading it. But, you gotta do what you gotta do.

As for my personal life, I don’t want to divulge too much yet, since really… I don’t know what’s happening myself, really. All I’ll say is that I went to the doctor today for what may potentially be a serious problem. =P Here’s to hoping it’s nothing major and I’ll be just fine.

Anyway, back to coding this thing. Woot.
