Yay – I managed to implement it into Movable Type! What? My pretty pretty new layout (at the moment only for the main journal page), thanks to a free template from Ann Stratton, of course!
And now I need to go grocery shopping before the shops close…
The site has been down the last few hours. I don’t know what caused the downtime, since my webhost’s site (including the helpdesk) was down, too. They should maybe think of creating an off-server status page, which concerned webmasters can check to see what’s up.
I hope I was the only person trying to access chocolate dream during this time…
I added pics of my family to the woman page as well as a couple more sentences about my parents. All four photos were taken today, thanks to the wonders of digital photography — not the best picture ever of myself, but it’ll do I guess. (Marriage proposals please directed here. *g*)
And now I’ve sat in front of this thing for so long, I just want to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Chasing after the Salome prof will have to wait, as well as some more emails that I should answer — I’m getting cramps in my shoulders, a sure sign to stop.
I just hope this looks just as nice in other browsers as in Mozilla – but for now I think I’ve done my worst. Woohoo! 🙂
Please let me know if something is messed up or if you have any suggestions…
I got my first comment from someone I don’t know on my
Do I have a point? Don’t think so. I’m tired – haven’t slept enough the last two days, what with the dance on Saturday (which was incredibly awesome, although my feet still hurt) and YMing last night. And tomorrow I have uni at 8am – but after that, FREEDOM!
Okay, now it seems to work more or less – archives are still a mess, though. Will have to work on them, but not now, first I need a break… This is pretty hard stuff for an amateur like me!
If anyone happens to know how I could make the brown block above the site description white, I’d be incredibly grateful – I simply can’t seem to figure out how to do that.
This kind of project is really engrossing – I’m just glad that this week is practically a break (except for tomorrow), thanks to Ascension Day, so I can work here without a bad conscience.
I managed successfully to install MT, but now I’m having problems importing my old entries from Blogger… So this will be a bit of a mess for a while – I apologize!
I managed to make that AppleWorks presentation – not very fancy, but it’ll do. Now I only need to manage talking freely and more or less scientifically coherent in English tomorrow afternoon… I do hope I won’t mess up!
I’m not quite sure yet what form this will take – if I should write ‘spam’ posts like this whenever I want to, or if I should try and write one longer post a day. Plus, I’ve been surfing some other blogs (check out ‘other people’ to the right for links to some of them) and feel pretty inadequate right now. Plus – who will even read this? On LJ I have my trusted friends list – this here feels much emptier, as if I’m writing into a vacuum.
One of these days I’ll let some of my RL friends know about this site, they might be interested – and once I get my digital camera (presently waiting for me at Marrie’s in Germany, I’ll start posting random pictures of Basel and whatever catches my eye.
I’m also thinking of changing to BloggerPro, so I can add a subject line and a rss feed, so the peeps at LJ can follow this from the comfort of their friends list… I don’t really have the money right now, but I also don’t have any self-control, so we’ll see. 🙂
Right now I’m trying to fix the archive link – but so far it doesn’t look as if it wants to be fixed… So yeah, don’t wonder if there’s nothing after the ‘archive:’, okay?
Enough for today – I’m sure as time goes by and this loses some of its newish feel, I’ll be less random and make more sense. Or maybe not.
Email seems to be working, thanks to prompt help – I really like my new host so far. Also I created a new subdomain and changed all my member infos for the cliques/webrings I’ve joined with Lovesong – puh! Soon everything will be ready, I can go to bed and stop spamming this with boring website details… What am I going to talk about once all this excitement has died down? LOL Is anyone interested in having their own @chocolatedream.net email addy? Just let me know your name of choice and your email addy and it’s yours!
It’s working! Yay! Welcome to my brand spanking new domain for everything me and whatever else I can think of… Please, if you see a broken link, let me know so I can fix it. And if you like it, or hate it, or whatever, too. 🙂 It’s possible that email is not working yet, because so far I haven’t received any of my test emails, so you might just want to leave me a comment or drop me a line here. In other news – not only did the appointment about my field trip exercise go very well (she gave me some very good hints and ideas), but I also wen to the travel agency and looked into my flight. It’s the most complicated trip I’ve ever booked: Switzerland – New Zealand – four weeks stay – Brisbane, Australia – three weeks traveling around – Sydney, Australia – Honolulu, Hawaii – one week stay – Switzerland. I really hope this works out, I’d hate to miss out on my stopover in Hawaii. Very excited about all of this! Argh – I seem to have a problem with publishing longer entries. The posting button simply disappears when I scroll down and stays disappeared. I might have to switch to IE in order to post. I don’t like IE. At all.
The domain does not yet resolve, but I checked with the preliminary url and everything seems to work – yay! (Except for email, but I hope this will change once http://www.chocolatedream.net actually exists…) Have a meeting about my field trip to New Zeland this afternoon – need specifics about what university wants from me, what I have to do in order for my trip to be accepted. Maybe I’ll go down to the travel agency afterwards and ask about flights – it’s not even three months left, after all… Can’t wait! (I bet you’ll be hearing that a lot in the next months… *g*) Edited to add: I keep getting fault alerts from blogger, but then things work anyway – I wonder if it’s because I’m using Mozilla.
