New theme

Greg — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:21:36 +0000

I decided to change the theme, since the old one got messed up somehow. Fixing it requires doing some insane amount of work (or, at least unzipping a file and uploading it) and I don’t really care enough to bother.

This new one is kinda cool looking anyways, wouldn’t you say? :)

I’ll continue the customization as time goes on… maybe. :) I could totally turn it PURPLE! :D :D :D

ps: So many random options on the post page now. O__o

Blog Updates

Greg — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:01:50 +0000

Hey, nothing *really* big, but I thought I’d make a few mentions here:

We have the official Twitter button, and I’m going to try and make it more useful. For instance, on the I Am Tama, Lucky Cat, I’ve done it up so that when you tweet, it’ll say
Review of I Am Tama, Lucky Cat by @PeachtreePub http://t.co/k6oyzGz via @aredmoon
Instead of just
I Am Tama, Lucky Cat http://t.co/k6oyzGz via @aredmoon

And it also suggests to follow them. :) So it’ll hopefully make the aRM Twitter experience more useful! I’ll try and do it for all of the new reviews in the future.

And though it doesn’t matter so much on the front-end, I’ve added the “Jetpack” plug-in, which gives me better stats and whatnot. It also has some other toys, but I dunno what all will be of use here. :S

My current reading isn’t going to be correct, tho. I do plan on starting up Naomi and Ely’s soon, but first I want to read another of my galleys :) They’re pretty cool!

Here’s what I have to read… Let me know what you think I should read first!
Bumped by Megan McCafferty.
Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick by Joe Schreiber.
Mercy by Rebecca Lim.
The Goddess Test by Aimée Carter

It’s spring break so I wanna get at least two of them read! :-D

So, I might have stuff to post soon

o_O So, tonight for class I had to write an anecdote AND a poem.

WTFage.

We’re gonna go over the anecdotes in class tomorrow and get peer feedback, so I’ll wait to post those. However… I did post the poem here.

It’s… bleh. I don’t like poetry. D:

I also changed my currently reading to House on Mango Street. If I ever write a novel, I would like it to be similar in style. I am adoring the style. <3

Could y’all imagine my writing style like that? =D

Gregory likes A quick orgy of links.
Gregory likes Darkeness Approaches.

Oh dear. I’m not so sure I want people seeing what I like.

But I finally added the Facebook Like button. It was long in the coming. Just required me to hit a few extra buttons that I was just too lazy to hit. Oh yeah, rock on me.

edit:
Gregory likes Gregory Martin Likes This.

Bye bye Tweetmeme

Greg — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:44:20 +0000

I like the actual Twitter ones a lot more :-D

Check them out. There’s to the right of the posts. :)

This plug-in also allows me to just have it appear on news posts – not on pages. Which is a HUGE relief, as I no longer have to manually set it. ^_^

Pimping the Blog!

Greg — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 05:27:53 +0000

Hah, it’s been forever since I’ve updated the blog again. I seem to do a lot of nothing, then a lot of something!

Today I went through the 155 spam (x_X) and picked out four semi-funny ones, and added them the funny spam list. Apparently, a spam bot’s son went to see Bieber. :-D Oh, and he was arrested.

Guess the post in my previous post is real?! Heh.

Also, brand new theme. Isn’t it amazing? :D

Oh, and I want to thank you spam bots. Because of you, I remembered this post… the story has been updated!!!! :D:D:D!!!

So I updated

Greg — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:50:58 +0000

I’m only like, what, a month late? But yeah, I finally updated to WordPress 3.0. I wonder how many of my extensions are broken now? :(

Anyways, I don’t really have much to talk about here. I could say how much I hate my new prof, or how my new job sucks, or anything… but that requires too much *work*.

So ttyl <3

Changed again

Greg — Thu, 27 May 2010 04:54:22 +0000

The funky layout was pissing me off. It was wayyyyyyyyyyy too bloated for what I use this silly thing for. ;D

So I’m trying out this grassy one. At least for now. It’ll probably change again soon :3

New layout – whatcha think?

Greg — Sun, 23 May 2010 04:30:19 +0000

I got bored of the old one (and the spam comments kept hinting that I should try out new themes) and so I decided to try this.

It’s, as the esteemed Ryan puts, “funky”.

Tell me whatcha think :)

Played with the site more

Greg — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:46:47 +0000

So instead of doing something useful, like maybe writing more of my story, I played around with the site. I probably will write more in the next few weeks, as my hours have been drastically cut. In the newest schedule, I only got 12 :’( Which is a HUGE drop from the 40 I worked last week.

Oh well.

Anyways, I added a shoutbox. Not that anyone will ever use it except me :P I also changed the countdown from Percy movie to Justin Bieber’s new CD :-D

I’ve also added a page about hosting here. I don’t do much, but hey, if it brings a few bucks to my pocket, sure, I’ll share the server.

Speaking of the server – Wikimon is back up! And we have a MUCH more powerful processor now, plus 4GB of ram! We are looking pretty damn sweet now :D

And Ryan (Yeah, that Ryan) has his own blog thing going now. You can see it here. We’ll see if he does anything with it… he paid for the domain, not me. xD But I am hosting him. ♥

Here are some shirts I want, linked to where you can buy them for me. ♥

Aren’t they both hot? ♥

Anyways, that’s about it for today. Spam the shoutbox, buy me t-shirts, and buy hosting from me. That’s the moral of today.

Or if all else fails, BUY ME JUSTIN’S NEW CD. ♥♥♥♥♥♥
