KitClan's Opening Tommorow!

Kay, guys, I'm feeling better now. Herb and I will still be in contact, and she'll be RPing at KitClan ^.^ I don't know about Dew, but I hope she and I can still email each other.

KitClan is still scheduled to open tommorow!!! I'm going to work my tail off all day today. I also made a new page yesterday, "Userbars", which are graphics I finally learned how to make. I was going to show Dew, since I was so proud of myself, but I don't know if I'll ever talk to her again... :'(

Anyway, I'm going to get KitClan open. Make sure to check back tommorow to see the URL!!! Staff, please remember to check your email a few more times!!! I'm full of excitement, so I'd better shut up and hurry off.

Before I do that, however, I would like to also mention that my friend Willowleaf has closed her site as well. This makes me even more sad... Willow was a great friend and she had an awesome site. I hope we'll stay in contact, but she doesn't have an email she can use to email me... :( A lot of websites are closing now, but I guess I never thought it would be people I was close to. But I'm going to try to work even harder on KitClan. I don't want to disappoint everyone who's still been waiting, possibly for the only site that still has a chance of being up. Luckily, there are a few other sites that are trying to stay resolutely open. StarClan's Essence, Robiny's site (see COTS), and my friend Pumakit is also opening a new site. Still, it feels a little bit like the golden age of Warriors webdesign has faded. But we can teach all the new fans HTML and CSS, and hopefully other amazing sites will pop up soon.

It's a sad present right now, but the future is looking up. Anyone with me?

Still A'Cryin

I guess I should have posted sooner. I've worked every day. I'm almost ready for KitClan to open. But that doesn't really matter right now.

I just found out that Dew and Herb, two of my closest online friends, have shut down their sites. They're gone. Herb is still going to be around a bit. I don't know about Dew. I'm crying while I'm typing. I just clicked on their links for fun before I got off. This day just became awful.

I understand that they are becoming less interested in Warriors. I understand that they've got to that point where they want to go on with their lives. But I'm going to miss them so much. I'm about to start sobbing now. They were the first two people who I met who owned cool graphic sites. That weren't just for RPing. We chatted together so many times. I almost feel like someone has died. I hate the pages where it says that they're gone the most. I want those pages to go away.

Dew and Herb, if you're reading this, I want to stay in contact with you somehow. I'm still crying, but it'll be better if I know you didn't go without saying goodbye. I don't know if KitClan will open on Saturday. I might open it this coming Friday instead. My friends leaving just hit me really hard. *cries harder* But I will keep going. I'm not ready to say goodbye to anyone else yet. I love all my online friends so much. Pumakit especially, but everyone else too. I hope you won't shut down your sites either soon.

I need a tissue, so I'll go now. Bye. I love all of you. I will get on tommorow.

Still a'workin

Yup, I'm going to work on KitClan again today. I still haven't changed the COTS, because nobody besides Herb herself appears to have seen it V.V

I finished going through the Terms of Use, and now it's ah lot shorter and neater. I decided to take off the whole points thing, so I'm going to take the points off of the Members page today. I also took off the secret word, so I have to get rid of that on the form to join. By the way, which do you prefer-- using a form to join or using a guestbook/comment box? I'm thinking of going back to the old comment box way, but I don't know. I changed the big, long explanation on RPing literately/advancedly/properly/whateveryouwannacallit to a short sentence that says something like, "KitClan is a literate role-play. If you don't know how to RP literately or you're not sure what literate RP is, please click here." So I'm going to type up a tutorial on how to do literate role-play tonight. Whoppee for me.

Mmm, I'm checking my grades on the Internet while typing this. I still have all A's so far. ^^ Hurray! OMG, I have an A in Choir, even after performance tests!!! *square dances* Usually I get a high B, but this time I have an A. Yesssss, it says I got all A's on my report card for the quarter. Only one quarter left of school O_o Time sure flies, huh?

Lately, I've been getting all emotional. NO, I don't mean emo, when apparently you cut your wrists because it makes you feel happy -_- I don't get it, cause I love life and can't imagine not being alive, but back to my original point. I've cried every day this past week, except on Sunday (thank god for spending the day with my friend, the one girl I'm always comfortable with). I didn't cry today, but I came close to it. I don't even know why I'm crying so much :( You would think that I would be as dry as the Sahara Desert by now. I'm just so sick of school and feeling like I have to act cool, around my own friends, for the love of fish! And I feel like some other kids are just so much better than I am at everything, and it makes me depressed. *cough*(codename)Feathertail*cough*

So that's my wierd bloggish post for the day. Please comment ^^
I love you all!

KitClan...

Hola, mi lufferly amigos!

Yup, just been workin' on KitClan some more... *hums "Been Workin' On The Railroad"* I made the Website Layouts page, and added little notes in the coding for the premade layout. Then I started working on the Terms Of Use, because it needed to be majorly redone (and I haven't even opened the site yet <.<). Then the phone rang last night, and my friend wanted to know if I wanted to come have a sleepover, so I was like, "Sure!" So I played at her house until 5:30. Yup, I was there for forever.

But because I'm a good Lighty, I decided to keep working on KitClan, and make another blog post. ^^ I also checked the premade layout on my friend's computer in Firefox, and it works just fine. So I'm going to try and finish the Terms of Use tonight, and possibly start going through my email. Wish moi luck!

I luff you all!

P.S. I haven't changed the COTS, cause it was only yesterday that I put Herbeh up ^^

New Premade Layout

Hey all!

I'm really, seriously, very sorry for being gone for two whole weeks! I've been so busy in the real world, I haven't had any time to devote to KitClan. I was also feeling like I might put KitClan on hold indefinitely, but I'm going to try to get it up this coming weekend. It'll be my spring break, and I'll be able to get on really often. *three cheers for Lighty!*

I made a new premade layout for KitClan. I think it works in other browsers, but I haven't checked it yet on school computers in Firefox and Safari, and BrowserShots is majorly slow, so I don't know yet. It is definitely the best I've ever made, probably better than my layout on KitClan itself! I was actually just experimenting in PhotoShop with the head image, and then I decided to put the head image in a layout, so I did that (PhotoShop was awfully stupid on a few things, so it took forever), and then I said to myself, "Lighty, why don't you actually code this layout instead of procrastinating on KitClan?" So I coded it real quick, and it turned out really beautiful, if I do say so myself ^^ It's lavender/purple, with a really pretty cat, and it's really simplistic. It's called "Butterflies and Blossoms", and right now I'm going to put it on the Website Layouts page. The only brushes I used were from Smiley Helper, but it turned out so cute!

E-nuff bragging about my *cough*bad*cough* skills in PhotoShop, although I would like to say that I made it Dawncloud-style, very different from my usual way. It's delicate and, like I said, simplistic with the head image fading into the content box. Beauty-full-ness!

Anyway, I'm off to put it on a page for premade layouts! And I'll work on KitClan, mainly to get it ready for its wonderful spring opening. The spring opening thing also means that the Extras page will most likely not be finished in time, so I'll work on it while the site is up. I'm sick of not having KitClan in my life, and I know if I don't open it soon, I never will.

By the way, please do not send me any emails. I've been procrastinating about checking my email again. :P Bad Lighty.

I luv you all!

Ugh... Sickness

Hey guys... although I guess we're actually all girls xD

Anyway, I'm so sorry for not posting an earlier entry last Friday! I feel so guilty. My life has been uberly-busy. Now we have the state tests this week, and it's horrible. Every year that these tests come around, I get really sick from stress. Being the geek-ish person I am, I always get all Advanced's, but my subconscious tries to kill me. :P So of course, I'm sitting here coughing in a bathrobe, bursting with a fever. Well, actually, I took Advil this morning, so it's not that bad. The point is, it's very unlikely I'll be able to do much online for at least a week. I also keep feeling guilty for not working on KitClan, and Pinchkit doesn't help-- he keeps asking when it's going to come up.

Pinchkit had an interesting idea as well-- he thinks that the RP KitClan and the graphics KitClan should be split up, instead of all being crammed together. I considered this-- I could have a splash page leading to the graphics and then to RP, and they would have different kinds of layouts. What's your take on this?

Thanks for all your comments and stuff ^^ I'm probably going to skip school tommorow, because there aren't any tests until Tuesday, so I possibly may be able to get on. Oh, and expect a review on Dewy's website, Dewy Graphics, soon! Thanks for volunteering to be reviewed, Dew!
