02 กุมภาพันธ์ I found me!! WOOT!Good gosh it's been over a year now! I got a new puter 13 months ago and lost all my links and stuff and finally I have found me! ..lol Gawd this thing looks bad
 I dunno if I will leave it here or not. I have a real website now and having fun playing there most days. You can find me here www.tagtramps.com We have a forum and all kinds of stuff. I still have a lot to learn but it is much more reliable that's for sure! No ads, no pop-ups.. nuttin' but fun! I'm still taggin' and having fun with that but since I moved I just don't spend the time on the puter that I used too. I actually have a life now that includes leaving the house now and then. Well except for the last month. I had pneumonia and was in for 4 weeks straight. I thought I'd die for sure! Feelin' better now but I strained my vocal chords pretty bad with all the coughing but it is finally getting better. Nuff about that.. speaking of taggin' and forums and all that, I could write a book right now but I'll spare ya of that. Just want to say that it is becoming a real pain in the arse and taking more time than ever before. Here's the skinny version of that. When making tags you must have permission or pay for a tube with license and all that in order to use it. OK I get that and from my bank acct. it shows that I am more than willing to do that and be copyright aware, respecting artists rights and so on. Now, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon scrappers, mask designers, even tut writers. People have always sold their fonts and that's ok too, there's tons of free fonts out there. I'm getting sidetracked here..back on topic. This is the beef, as a tagger this entails the following: keeping up with artists(if they are free to use or licensed), writing for permissions to use their work, finding a tut, looking thru the tut trying to find out if we can use the supplies without permission or do I have to write to the mask designer, the scrap maker(or do we have to pay for that too), the animation creator(if there is one), is the font free or a pay to use font, then there's the filters.. most have to be paid for or you spend another 2-3 hours finding them, d/l and installing them and can only hope they work... it goes on and on so I spend most of one day gathering all this info and writing to peeps(hoping I get an answer at all). Say all this is done, you spend another couple of hours making the tag. All this just to make a tag to GIVE away to peeps that may or may not even say thank you. Ummm.. ok so your question is probably.. why do this if it is such a bother? That's what taggers do. We love making the tags and seeing what we can come up with on our own too and when the one that does say thank you or they actually express any kind of gratitude and actually use the tag on message boards.. it sure makes you smile!The one thing that I will never ever understand is why would anyone go to all the trouble, spend the time that it takes to create something, write a tut for it, publish it to an open website, then say you have to ask to post a link to your site?? What the hell does that do for ya?! I would think that anyone with half a brain wouldn't want to spend hours of their day trying to track every ip that visits their site and figuring out where they are going next and did they put a link to one of your tuts without asking. Maybe I am the one with half a brain! I thought the whole point in having a website was to get that link out there to as many peeps as possible in order to get as much traffic as you can to your site. Is that not the way it is supposed to work? Damnifino!!  14 พฤศจิกายน Looong time!!Whoa it's been a long time! Hope everyone is well and happy! I think I have forgotten all that I knew about this stuff but since the oopsgrade to "Live" it prolly won't matter anyhow. I'll prolly have to learn everything all over again...ugh. First thing I have to do is change the music. If I can remember how. :) If the music bothers you or interfers with your puter, just hit the Esc key and it will stop.
As you can see, I'm not real consistant with my blogging. I'll try to do beter since it is getting colder out now. A LOT going on around here. Don't know where to start really. I'm moving! That's a start..lol Actually I've been trying to get moved for months. It is a very long slow process this time. Ohhh.. and I have a dog and a cat now too! It's fun..lol Daisy is a yellow Lab and full of energy. She is the funniest dog I have ever seen. Sam is a Siamese and full of himself. His original name was Prince but my lil cousin (5 years old) named him Sam, so I guess he's Prince Sam. Imagine that! I have a few pics and will add them to the Photos album, if you want to see them.
DreamcatcherGraphics is still going strong and I'm also Asst. Manager in a new forum. They keep me busy for sure. Still playing in PSP as much as I can. Always behind with stuff tho. There's no end to it all. Something new or different everyday.
Enough of this for now. See ya!
ahhhhhh... Janis.. hehehee I did it! 23 กันยายน Chat LineJust thinkin' that maybe we could use a place to add comments or topics other than what I blog about. The space creator is the only one that has the option of starting a new discussion so I will follow along here with you all. This way you can begin a new topic or just say whatever you want without it having to be a comment to another blog entry.(Although I do welcome you to do that too!)
Now, have at it.. what's on your mind? 03 กันยายน Catching upTrying to get caught up in my groups and taggin'. It's and endless cycle..lol I did a bad thing and joined more groups now I gotta figure out how I'm gonna keep up! I'll never make it. I really really want to do more PSP for my groups so that is where my focus will be. I'll come up with more interesting reading or something for here too. You'll see  Give me a yell as you pass thru!01 กันยายน Lunch time!Late for lunch a well as everything else today. I have just finished posting in my groups and really should be in PSP right now. Had to stop in and have lunch with ya tho. I'll be around to the blogs on my list today and hope that MSN don't like my post well enough to eat them as it did last time around. I thought I would never get some of them thru and some never made it at all. Typical MSN I guess. I really shouldn't complain so much, it's free and sure is a lot of fun when it does work right. Actually it does work more often than not. So kudos MSN! I'll figure out the tricks as I go along. Ya'll have a good day! 31 สิงหาคม Hot dayum I did it!I am soooo happy!! Da Kid is Da Bomb for sure! After reading his tut on how to add a pic that will stay at the top, like the banner, I got that up with no problem. Of course I wanted more!! So thinkin' how to change the html code to make my text look better than the plain ol black small print Ariel? Knowing nothing about html don't help but ...I had a brain storm! I said, "Contee, you have made thousands of pages in groups manipulating html so you can do it here too somehow."
Yep.. I was talkin' to myself.(don't tell eveybody now) I opened up yet another window, afterall when you have 8 or 9 already opened, one more won't hurt.  So here we go.. I went to my storage groups General page and hit New Discussion, typed what I wanted to say, changed my font and color, then clicked the "use html" box. Wala..there was my code! I highlighted it all ctrlC to copy it, came back to my blog window and hit ctrlV to paste it here. WooooooHooooooooooooo!! There ya see it! Meaning of Life"Life may have no meaning. Or even worse, it may have a meaning of which I disapprove." -- Anon 30 สิงหาคม Deadlines"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." -- Douglas Adams Awesome OffersWe've had some awesome offers up in both groups this past week and weekend. Thanks to all of you that made these great sigs for us. I'm still on the lookout for more artists that do guy stuff that will allow us to use it. I'm finding it harder to find than I thought. I won't give up tho. Still on the hunt for ya! 25 สิงหาคม A long crazy week!It's been one crazy week around here..lol First I want to say, "Thanks to everyone that has come by! I'll get my rounds made soon. I've missed coming by to see how you all are doing." I had all three of my grands Friday thru Saturday. Man they are a handfull. My house is still upside down, my puter is a wreck and I'm way behind with stuff for my groups. It seems every time I come here to do something, a million things come to mind that I should be doing. I think it will be better if I just pop in and make fast short notes from now on. I added a pic of my cat. Well, he's not mine anymore. In January a friend's sister moved to Charleston and needed someone to take her 2 cats. My aunt took one and I took one. His name is Harry. He had been neutered and declawed before she got him from a rescue home for cats. He was there because the grandkids of the couple that had him before had abused him. They broke his tail and somehow hurt his back. That made him very defensive and kinda mean. He wouldn't let my grands pet him but they loved him and felt sorry for him. He was a good ol cat to have around and never bothered anything. He did bite me once but that was my fault, I guess. I kicked him in my sleep and got a rude awakening. Anyhow, the girl moved back and wanted him so I gave him back. My youngest grandson, has asthma and I think he is allergic to cats too because when he came to spend the night he had a bad attack the next night. So, I think it's better to not have one here, just in case that was what caused it. The grass had also been fresh cut so who knows, it could have been either or the combo was too much. I'm glad Harry's back where he came from although I will miss him. I'm going to check on my groups now and hopefully visit some blogs I've missed the past week. Have a good one! 17 สิงหาคม Travel lightIf you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fear. -Glenn Clark
15 สิงหาคม UP!Ever stop to think about UP? There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meaning than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP". It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we waken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP in the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable of the proper uses of UP, look UP the word in the dictionary. In a desk size dictionary, takes UP almost 1/4th the page and definitions add UP to about thirty. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so............ I'll shut UP !!!!!! 14 สิงหาคม Great Truths Children and AdultsGREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED

13 สิงหาคม Log On and Blog On!Just checking in here and I know I'm soooo behind with visiting others spaces. I'll be around so watch for me..lol I already need to update a few things in here. Hopefully I can get all that done tonight. I'm still working on my Bloggers 101 so if anyone has any ideas or questions, just let me know and I'll add it to my list(maybe..heheee). I never thought it would be so hard to come up with that many things about myself. Actually, I know many more than the 101 but then I think.. "who would want to know that?"..lol Oh well, I'll keep working on it. Give me a yell! 09 สิงหาคม Two for TuesdayI haven't done this in quite awhile so I think it's time I try to do something in PSP. In Vivid Vices I'm offering two sigs for everyone that signs up. These are usually a pretty simple tag, but either way ya get two of them...lol Maybe the saying should be, "She who dies with the most tags wins!"? I'm gone..to PSP..(I hope) 08 สิงหาคม Keepers from e-mailThese things usually run the gambit but there's some that are really worth keeping and adding to a space. Feel free to leave some here that you really like. Let's try to leave out all the pics just so the pages run smoothly. Emotes can be added with no problem. Now we don't want anything and everything. All those chain letters and junk mail. We want the best of the best! So come on.. what's the best keeper in your e-mail? My Copyright SpillI respect all artists of all genres and will expect no less from everyone else. Be it a quote, prose, photo, artwork or graphic.. Do NOT post it here without proper credit given. It will be deleted without further warning. I want to hear from everyone and would love to see you all share these things but please.. add the proper credit.Thanks and have fun! Yeah! I got it!Finally made it back in here and with a whole lot of space surfin' and reading I finally have the layout like I want it.. for now anyhow..lol It won't be long until more changes will be made I'm sure. That's the nature of the beast I guess. I think this is going to be more fun than I first thought and you meet so many cool peeps and see so many great places. I've read poetry, looked at fine art, listened to music, seen the world through photography and all kinds of inspiration while just sitting here in my pj's with a big mug o joe. Maybe I can get in some PSP today too! Just no way to get bored, that's for sure! I do have some domestic godess stuff to take care of first. I'll be back! Group IntrosI decided it might be a good idea to tell you a lil bit about my groups. DreamcatcherGraphics is a General rated PSP group. It's open so you can browse around before you join. There's a lot of chit-chat and game playing on the boards but we do make some great sig/tags in there. VividVices is an ADULT rated PSP group. Locked up tight so you will have to join to see it and decide if it's for you. Due to the nature of the group, we won't allow lurking so come on in and have some fun! If you like sig/tags, collecting them or making them then these groups are for you. TutHut is just that.. a place for me to write tuts for PSP as time allows. Also an Adult rated group, due to some links in there. If you write PSP tuts there's room for you to add yours if you like. Please, if you apply to join either of these groups, add a note to let us know how you found us so you will be sure to be accepted. Hope to see you there!
Group NewsI will try to add upcoming events, contests and challenges here for my MSN Groups. Be warned tho, most of the time these come up on a whim so not all will be posted here. Check the MSNGroups links to find us. Maybe some of the members of these groups might like to share some news here too...?
Come on peeps give us the scoop! |
