Beyond Redemption – Happy Housewarming!

Happy Housewarming!

Months ago, I said I was going to create a wordpress to replace Xanga. A place that’s a little more secure, on my own server, where I have a better idea of who is coming in and out. Well, that day is today. From now on, I’ll be hosting my personal/fanfic blog here, and Xanga will be a thing of the past. I’ll leave some of the posts there, particularly the post that will tell people to come here, but otherwise, this is the new place to be.

What I like about this place -other than having more of a handle on the traffic here- is the fact that I can open comments and actually talk to my visitors and lovelies. I didn’t want to do that with Xanga for several reasons, the biggest being that for whatever reason, I couldn’t respond to comments. I know the feature exists, but it just never worked for me, so I just shut them off altogether. Now, I can chat it up with those who choose to leave a comment. Unfortunately, though, all comments have to be screened before they appear on the site.

I’ve decided to settle on this skin (which I really like) because WP just upgraded and many of the fabulous old skins floating around aren’t compatible anymore. This one, as you can see, is modified to suit my tastes and I’m using the header art I commissioned from Maria-nee-chan (the one from my gallery). As more skins become available -and my other commissions get done- I’ll be having others, but for now, this one will do.

I actually owe my sistah, Madmistress65, a shout out for being the final push I needed to move my blog. So, yeah, welcome. Kick off your shoes, grab a drink at the bar, and let’s get lit! ^_^

Tee hee… I can even post my usual pics here. Yay!

      Welcome, mah sistah!!! Lookin’ good *wink*. But you know what? When I checked my Google reader yesterday, your blog was not among the list of blogs that I am watching. WTF is up with that I wonder? Oh well, no worries. I’m just gonna bookmark this page 😛

      SQUEE!! Happy House-Site-Warming!!! *attempts the uppity walking around only to trip over foot and go down in spectacular display of flailing limbs* Here I brought some drinks and cakes and soon the strippers will arrive…… *glances at watch* It looks wicked!!!! Can’t wait to see more!! Yes! The more security is a huge yes!! Seeing that LJ sent out that newsletter saying they have been ‘Hacked’ and Journals are being accessed by unknowns.

      I can leave comments here!! *races around in wild circles*

      And the first thing to enter my mind is ‘hmmm, I wonder if he’d mind some whip cream, a few cherries, and a wet tongue…….’ *blushes brightly and giggles* Oh… and looooooveeeeeeee the way the sweeping tail of the L nicely underlines the highlights of Inu’s *smirks widely* pants… yah… that’s it pants!

      Does it allow for posting of ones own piccies? Like Art?

      Will you also include the name/band/singer titles again here? So we can hunt them down to download?

      WELCOME, NIKKIE! ^_^

      LJ got hacked??? WOW. I didn’t know anything about it since I haven’t been there in a while. I’m even happier that I set this one up then. >.> Plus, there are a lot of cum stains on LJ starting trouble for the people I know (I’d include myself in that if they fazed me, but since they don’t and never have…) I never posted anything vital at LJ anyway, so fuck it. 😀

      Yesh, you can leave comments, and this allows me to add what they call “pages” that I can attach, so I’m assuming I can use one of those pages to post art and stuff. I actually like wordpress more than I thought I would. It has this thing called a “dashboard” where I can pretty much access everything, approve comments, and all that other good stuff. And since it’s attached to my server, everyone that I’ve banned can’t access it. Squee!

      I will definitely add the names and songs again. I totally forgot about that! (Still fixing the place up, so thanks for reminding me!) I also need to put my hit counter/tracker up so I can follow who’s been here. Yesh, I likey my new home already!

      Welcome to Da Spot, Girl!
      (Though you peeked at the unfinished project the other day.)

      Aww, it didn’t come through? Maybe because I turned off the option for my blog to appear in search journals. Think that’s it? I didn’t want randoms to just find my blog and stroll on in, ya know? Those that know about it will be friends and people that visit Absolution IF they notice the new link. I’m gonna go to your page in a minute so I can figure out how to get notified when you update. Onna made one, too, so I guess it’s under her penname. But yeah, bookmark me, woman! 😀

    • avatarMadMistress65 says:

      You is bookmarked :P. I’m loving this too, and I’m blogging now. Ain’t published it yet, but soon …

      Onna here too, now? Hell Yeah!! The more we convert, the better. I already got people hitting me on Facebook too. We shall convert them all. Heh

      I’m going to see if I can manually add you to my Reader, but either way, I got you faved 😀

    • avatarmidnightwhispers says:

      Squeee! LOL This is new and shiny. It’s so pink and pretty and droolworthy… Sorry! I’m back now. *pops the cork on the champagne* Here’s to less fuckery and more fun! 😀

    • avatarDa Grrrl says:

      Sis! Do you like it? 😀 It’s so easy to use and once I get a handle on how to skin better, I’m going to make several. And yes, less fuckery. *eyeroll* I must entice you to get a wordpress! There must be some way we can connect them all…

    • avatarDa Grrrl says:

      Yeah, she’s on the wp server with you. She’s been having issues with the skin and stuff, so you may be able to help her out with that. I don’t have that kind, so I’m not sure what she can and can’t do. It seems that you have to pay for access to the CSS and that blows cause I have all that stuff just because I host it myself. But some of the skins they have are awesome. I want to mess with another one that was all black. >.>

    • avatarmagedelbene says:

      Hey GRRRL!!! After MadMistress told me where she came, checked this out… well have my blog… although don’t understand a shit!! LOL Made my first post but, doesn’t appear ¬¬ Maybe it’s a try and see… dunno. LOL

      :sigh: At least here I feel at ease… don’t have to worry… Hey, maybe will ask you for help here when you have time… I’m totally O.O lost… how I find the others? How to skin the place? Is Onna coming? Chanda?

    • avatarDa Grrrl says:

      Mama Hen! My wordpress is different from the one you and Liz have. I downloaded mine and put it on my server, so I have access to the CSS and stuff to manipulate the skins and such. With the kinda y’all have, you can’t adjust the skins without paying. But there should be a bunch of different styles to choose from.

      I owe you some mail. It’s been a little busy around here with nominations closing. But it will soon be over with and I can relax again. I’m attempting to write, but as I look over my older work, I’m shocked by how much of a rut I’m in right now. Totally sucks. Onna already has a wordpress, but I don’t know about Chanda. To get updates, you need to add an RSS feed. If you use Firefox, there may be one in the toolbar (looks like an orange square). It sort of bookmarks the page and gives you options on how to subscribe to someone’s blog.

    • avatarDa Grrrl says:

      COURT!!!! This is going to sound so tarded, but I was thinking about you this weekend and last night I was going to see if you could beta the new chap of KOR -but I didn’t finish it last night. I finally sewed it up tonight and I needed to post it tonight, otherwise I would have been bombarding you! God, how are you, girl?????

      How is the family? How are the belt advancements going? I haven’t spoken to you in such a long time. :( I’m such a sucky friend. *HUGS*
      But I shall make up for this! 😀 I’m also going to start bugging you to beta again. I just always think I’m being a pain, or interrupting your home life with stupid fanfic. >.< Okay, I’m gonna stop doing that, lol. If you have the time, I certainly appreciate the help. Hope Spring is being good to you. <333 And isn’t the KOR song da shit? I always listen to it when I want to pen a chap to get myself in the mood, lol.
