Still a long road to journey

I have completed quite a bit of pages in the Blinkies section. In fact, I still have O through Z to complete. It seems like a lot and it is, but it is well worth the conversion. I have added a few things to the Webmistress section. There are also a few reads I will be unveiling as well as a few I will be updating. I have been so productive everywhere else but blogging. I guess I cannot win all the time. :sweat:

Blondish.net is CSS Valid on the Sexy Striped Socks layout. It is also XHTML 1.0 Transitional. However, in Firefox, the navigational footer (the three columns below in black) still show up awkward. I am open to insight to correct this as soon as possible. I have used the permalink option in my WordPress as well for my pages and posts. I hope it helps spruce things up around here.

Luis finally got his ass in gear and got Angel into school. He is about two weeks late from attending, but I am glad he is in. I missed his first day, but I intend to see him off to his bus sometime this week and yes, even get a pic or two in. :kiss: Despite Luis’s protestations, he is at fault. He did not apply early on. He wanted to be the responsible parent, and in the meantime drag whatever failings I have done as a mother. His excuses are dillusional, or as I would ludely state, ‘A load of crap!’ He sleeps and neglects Angel. I hear about it from my son’s mouth. It is kind of obvious if Angel asks, “Is daddy at home sleeping?” :shocked: Oh well, we cannot be perfect.

I will be moving back to Mount Vernon come the end of September. It is official as I got the call that my background and credit check passed. I was going to bring down hell if by some strange incident that it would not pass. I have needed to get out on my own. Being at my parents is too sheltering and makes me feel like a mooch no matter how much I help out.

I recently noticed a link in my Blogroll via my WordPress admin panel and clicked on it. The place led to a blog with a layout using an image I put in my Deviantart account. The image was originally a touch up and blend of an image that a friend of mine adored, so I went out of my way to see if I could use it and make a layout for her. When I had received permission, I went ahead. I did not want the main image to be taken, chopped, and redistributed to others. I am not even sure if I want to keep the image on Deviantart anymore if people are going to give it away. I went ahead and left a message on the DA account of the person who made the layout. Frankly, I am not sure what I can do, but ask for them to stop redistributing and using my images without permission.

I usually start promoting Breast Cancer Awareness since next month is Think Pink month. I also usually have a giveaway, but I am on the fundraising committee at work, as well as the Relay for Life for my county’s chapter. I feel kind of ‘charity-d out’. :sheepish:
Should I go ahead with a giveaway, but do something themed???

Remember, if you wish for your site to be reviewed, feel free to visit this page and then drop me an email. I will probably put a form on the page sometime soon, but I want the form to be more secure than what I have been using for past forms.

  • Hmm, I haven’t looked at your source code, but if it you’re coding it like side-by-side DIVs, then I know what you mean about how “awkward” it looks like… But yeah, good luck fixing that!

    Wow, sorry to hear about Angel starting school late, but I’m glad he’s in school now!

  • Irene says:

    I don’t know what to tell you about Luis’ behavior with Angel. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with Luis being such an ass – still. You’d think he’d grow up already, but what can ya do. Do what you can to make Angel’s like easier and happier, and Luis be damned. XD

  • Charlemange says:

    Hey I am sorry for all the stress you are having. That’s terrible about the school. Good luck on the move, sounds like a good thing.

    I am really sick of internet theives.

  • Evelien says:

    Thanks for your comment =D
    Well, the new policy at our school is that the schoolboardmembers are sitting behind desks at the school entrance and write EVERY students name on a piece of paper, so they can check who are too late. The people who are to late have to be at school the next morning at 7.45 am. It’s a bad new policy, because students who are never too late are also annoyed with this policy. Before this policy it was the teacher who took care of the student, and now it’s the schoolboard, while they have better things to do.

  • Brandi says:

    Don’t you hate when you work hard on your graphics and CSS and it doesn’t work in a browser, while it works in another? SO frustrating! Hoping you can get the bottom columns fixed, because I know that can get annoying for you =[

    WOW. Men never cease to amaze me with their lack of brains sometimes hahaha. I can’t believe he sleeps when he should be taking care of your son.

    UGH. People always have to go and take someone else’s graphics….

  • Leyla says:

    wow I can’t believe that girl took your picture! That’s so rude and obnoxious!

  • Katie says:

    Aww man, that sucks about that person stealing your image like that. :sad:

    I don’t think I’ll ever be able to validate any of my site. The HTML is so messy. I learnt bits and bobs and so its all jumbled together. :mad:

  • Britney says:

    Hopefully they will stop redistributing your images.
