Which is okay. I suppose. It gives me something different to do.
I just hate I have to go and re-do the Portfolio.
Apparently, my host found out that I had extremely large
images in my portfolio. It was my photos on one big
image. Causing it to be 25 MBs. It was unfair for the
other hostees she's currently hosting. So she told me
to resize them. Instead I'm just cutting them images
and saving them in GIF. She asked me to save them
in JPEG because PNG actually takes up more space.
But I told her GIF would be better. And just to make
sure, I saved the same photo in GIF and in JPEG.
The JPEG was 95 kbs. While the GIF was only 35 kbs.
And was still in great condition. So, all the images
are being cut up, and saved in GIF. I will be done with
this little project very soon. I will code, upload, and be done with that.
She asked me to also change some of my layout images.
So I will be doing that, as well. I'm not touching the artfolio
though. What's done is done. And I won't change it unless
I just HAVE too. The rest I will save in GIF though.
Also, I'm looking into getting a new domain.
One of my own. I want to have my own domain
so that I can stop following the rules of others.
And I can do whatever I want, however I want too.
I won't have to consult with someone or think
that I might get in trouble if I post something on my site.
It's mainly about being in charge. I just want to be able
to not have to worry about sharing. Or how much space
I'm taking up. That is the bottom line. "Space". Because
I have well over 5,000 graphics. And some are very large.
So I take up loads of space. Not to mention the countless
poems and songs I have. And all those pages I'll have to
upload. This should happen very soon. My mom is got
a job at our church. And is getting paid for it. (I think she will)
So she said if I find a cheap one, she'll buy it for me.
I'm very excited and I hope this happens quickly.
Although it will suck because all that coding I just did in
the "icons" section, I'll have to re-do. I posted well over a thousand icons.
Well, that's about it for me now. Thank you for reading.
I wish someone would leave a comment and say "hey,
I read this post" or whatever. But it doesn't really matter.
This is more for me, then anything. just something to have.
Thanks for reading, if you did.
And have a wonderful week.

P.S. In case you haven't noticed, I made myself a new banner.
I actually asked some people to do it. I thought it would be fun
to make a contest out of it. And let others make graphics for a
chance. And let their graphics be displayed for once instead of
my own. But only one person said they would enter, and they
still didn't enter. I was like "oh that's nice. So great to see how
much you care" So, I just ended up making one myself. And I
must say, I really like it. No I was not inspired by Twilight. I was
inspired by a graphic I made years ago. Which was inspired by
a poem about girls and how we feel lonely sometimes. It was
actually really neat. but it was in an email and I lost it. So point
is, I made a new banner. Here it is. And that's all for now.
