So yes, it is still today – and Independent Love Song is gone. All I felt that I wanted to keep is my book recs page, which you can now find a link to on the about me page. I’ve moved some cliques, webrings, and put up an update info on the main page for major changes (although I’ll probably keep making most announcements here).

I also moved my ILS affiliate to the main page – so if you’ve got a personal site and are interested in being affiliated with chocolate dream as well, just drop me a line!

There might be some more changes in the near future, as Patty is still tweaking my new layout, and I’ve decided to start really making an effort here. And that also means making ‘real’ posts instead of just site updates. But not right this moment, as I’m pretty tired out now. 🙂

Since my blog is now running with php, I can add all kinds of nifty scripts. None of which I write myself, naturally — but nonetheless, as you can see to the right you can now add your birthday to my new birthday list. Fun! 🙂

Seriously, instead of playing around like this, I should probably finally upload the pics I’ve taken recently (and not so recently), but since I’m the queen of procrastination, I think instead I’ll get rid of Independent Lovesong. Not that I don’t still love my personal site (especially the title), but with this domain growing it’s become pretty obsolete and never gets updated anymore, the poor thing. And I don’t think that’s going to change, so I might just as well integrate the few original things on it into chocolate dream and delete the whole thing. Maybe not today, but in the not too distant future.

Patty made a new layout just for me, which I’m implementing right now. So apologies for any bugs that I haven’t fixed yet (especially in the category and monthly archives, seems like).

But – isn’t it the prettiest? *hearts*

ETA: I guess some hick-ups were to be expected, given my inaptitude with coding: I just can’t see where I messed up the coding on the monthly and category pages. Giving up for now, because I can’t see anything anymore at the moment. And there’s still the problem of the side table that does not want to stay positioned at the top. Any and all help is appreciated… 🙂

So, thanks to Patty and Wiki I managed to convert my blog to php, so I can add php scripts like PHPCurrently.

Seems to be working just fine – now I only need to set up a redirect from the old html page…

ETA: Set up the redirects – only it doesn’t seem to work for the old archive pages, because I don’t seem to have Apache access, but that doesn’t really matter, I guess.

That means we have to write another number now… and I’m almost 23. (My birthday is on Monday.) Yesterday was fun – we watched the fireworks from the cathedral. Will post some pics just as soon as the guy with the camera sends them to me. Had a good time. Hope all of you had, too!

Having to work again is not exactly my idea of fun, but I can definitely use the money, that’s sure. And yesterday gave me the opportunity to finish my new Taranaki fanlisting. Taranaki is the area on New Zealand’s North Island where I spent six weeks this August/September. I posted some of my pictures there, so go there and have a look… 🙂

I’ve installed PHPCurrently – but if you look to your right to the ‘currently’ section, there’s nothing there. Can someone explain to me what I did wrong with the include? (I have no real idea about php, so it probably is my fault.)

This is what I added to my main template (with brackets, of course): ? include(“home/chocolat/public_html/currently/current.php”); ?
I also tried several other ways (like ?php, or just “currently/current.php”), but nothing worked.

Would be grateful for tips and pointers!

I haven’t been very happy about the fact that people not used to blogs might be confused by the mass of text and links of my blog when they enter chocolate dream. Therefore I’ve moved it and created a little entrance page, just to make things easier. The new url of this blog is therefore: http://www.chocolatedream.net/blog.html – much nicer than index2.html, anyway! 🙂

And now I’ll go grocery shopping — was planning to go to town this afternoon, but this changing over took a bit longer than anticipated. Plus, thanks to the flu shot yesterday I feel a bit feverish. Tomorrow then — I need my energy for tonight’s party… Happy Halloween to all of you who celebrate!

I finally finished copypasting all my old entries, so everything is up and running again. But shit, now by shoulders are all knots – I’m not doing this again in a hurry! 🙂

Think I’ll go to bed now. Tata!

MyMediaList (which I use for the “currently” section to the right) seems to be down. What a pity, I hope it’s only a temporary glitch.
