Something to be Proud Of

Hi everyone! You all missed me right? :3 I missed you guys too! Well, i think it’s official, I’ll probably update every ten days or so. This gives me time to actually have things of interest to write about! :yes: No one likes a boring blog. :no: Lots happened though! Ok, no, not a lot. but some stuff happened! Some interesting stuff! I guess I should just shut up and tell you what was so interesting then huh? :yes:

Well, we’re staart with the site stuff! :D I’m proud to say that on my last blog I got 10 comments!! I feel so proud! I actually didn’t think I was that interesting. Take into account though I did go and comment other peoples blogs but I didn’t know if they would comment back or even read my blog seriously at all! so I felt really proud about that! :3 I mean, people actually care! yay!

Also there were some changes around the website! Encase you haven’t noticed, which is fine. :) The changes aren’t big or anything. But never the less! I added a feed button, so you can subscribe to my amazing posts! The feed is with the totally cute FeedBurner! You can view the cute button at the top of the page under the welcome! :D Then I also got a neat FormSpring account! So I added the neat widget to the page as well! That though is in the side bar right under the comment box! So remember to ask me lots of questions! I like that. :squeel:

And did I mention all my new affies and friends?! :D So far we have Sindara, Karla, and Dianne! They’re all really nice! Even though I don’t know all of them really well yet, I hope that during my time with this blog and website and as long as we’re friends of course that we’ll become really close! Like BFFs! :D Ok, so I like to make friends! I can’t help it! :squeel: I’ve met a lot of other people too though! There’s a lot of them! They all seem really nice, which is super great! :yes:

Something a little less fun though, I did ad an affiliates apply page. This is where people can apply to be affies with me! That’s the fun news! The less fun news is rules. :[ They're simple though! In my blog travels I came to learn that many sites that accepted affiliates had rules also. Some of these rules made sense, I found some others did not. So I went with these 5 select and simple rules. So affilaites if you would read them over! From what I've seen so far though, everyone's following them! :D But just so you all know the rules or guildlines, here's a copy!

  • I will not accept Piczo sites. Any other website or free host is fine!
  • You do have to link me on every page. I do the same for you. So it's fair!
  • Remember to comment my blog whenever you can! I'll do the same and if I don't you can come yell at me!
  • You can apply with multiple sites if you want.
  • I do not have link exchanges at this time. Only affiliates.

They're fair right?

I don't like piczo - too many pop-ups. They're everwhere! O.O Then for the linking, I do link you guys on every page. You're my friends and I want everyone to know who you are. Don't you want everyone to know me too? :?

Commenting the blog, this lets me know that you're alive and still care! :D I care about you and your life! And guys, try and make the comments worthy! :yes: I would rather not see "[Sweet Spade] Please moderate: ….” in my email and get all excited like I do only to find the comment is a sentense or two long. My comments are longer then that, put a little effort into it! I’m not asking for a speech, book report, or some 10 paragraph reply! I just want to see a little effort, like it took you more then a minute. Is that too much to ask? :[ I'm just asking you to show me that you care. I give you good length comments. So you could do the same for me too. And this goes for all visitors, affiliates, and...and everyone! Only comment if you have something real to say, aka have more then a 2 sentense comment! Please and thank you! :D

Finally, multiple sites, I don't see the harm in it. Of course, don't apply with all 50 of your websites please! O.O I don't have that much room! 2 or 3 sites is the max, ok? :)

Yes, you read right but I guess you already knew this rule right? lol If you look around a bit you'll see I only have an affiliates box. I'm looking for friends after all, not hits. Hits aren't any fun if you don't have friends. :( So, affiliates and friends only! :D

So see, these rules aren't too hard are they? :D If you have any questions or some disappointment (I hope not! O.O ) then let me know! :D We can work something out, ok? :yes:

Now for the off site stuff! I gues out of school soon!! :D No, not for the year. For Spring Break! :D I'm so excited!! Our vacation starts on April 2nd (no school that day - yay!) but ends April 11th. So come the 12th I'll have to go back to icky school! :( Until then though, I have like 3 major tests this week! One in History (The History oif France)...ew. I don't like history! :no: Then I have a PE exam. I guess you can call that a test too. :( I don't like PE either. Unless we're playing Volley Ball! :D I like that!! :yes: And lastly, I have a test in Language Arts. That's easy but still, it is a test and I don't like tests. :( Yucky. So lots of studying to do - especially for icky history. :P

But the spring break is coming and that means fun! Lots of games and other fun stuff to do! It'll be great! Mum and Pa have been depating over the idea of going on vacation! :D I hope we do! It'll be lots and lots of fun! :D

I guess that's it for now! I'll try and blog again soon! :D You know...I'm actually in class right now on my cell. :um: Yea, I was just gonna see if I could start a blog but i kind of already had one saved! :squeel: Yippy!

...You know something...? I never realized I used so many smilies. O.O Sorry for the major smilie usage! lol

PS. I know there are a few comments I have yet to return. I haven't forgotten! :) I'll reply this after noon during lunch or when I get home from school!

[EDIT]

My friend posted this on twitter. I wasn’t sure why. I just kinda liked it.

OMG! Can you Believe it?!

I was on one of me favorite social networks today, GaiaOnline, and doing a bit of shopping in the marketplace. While shopping I came across the most gaia ridiculous thing ever!! You’ll never, in a million years, guess on what it was! You haven’t guessed yet? Ok, I’ll tell you. :yes:

Someone was trying to sell an item for 2,000,000,000 gold! O.O I don’t make sense? Well I guess I wouldn’t. So I’ll explain why this is totally crazy and being irrational. :yes: See, this exact same item can be bought at the Gaia store for only 1,250 gold. -_- So see, why would anyone in the right mind buy an item for 2,000,000,000 gold if they can buy it for just over 1,000? The fact is, not even an idiot is that…idiotic! :um:

I just couldn’t believe how funny this was! :pinch: Why would someone even bother to sell it for that much? It’ll never sell! You know though, the truth is, people do ridiculous things like this all the time! :yes: They try and sell things for outrageous prices knowing that they’ll never sell. The funny thing is, the items never do sell and the seller just doesn’t seem to get why! What’s up with that? People can’t really be that stupid! ….Can they? :?

Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter, does it? I just wanted to share. Maybe you got a good laugh out of it! :)

But! I do have something really funny for you if you’re a fan of Harry Potter and have seen the new Alice in Wonderland movie. If so, keep reading. If you’re not familiar with either of these then you can either, keep reading, or just skip it. :)

So, my friend posted a tweet the other day relating to these two subjects. I found this tweet quite amusing.

snape as a caterpillar = rofl

Confused? I was too out first. So I asked her about it on IM later that evening. I shall explain!

The actor of Severus Snape of the Harry Potter series was actually the voice actor for the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. I didn’t know this! So, what’s so funny about this? My friend said when she was first told this, she thought it was funny because a clear image formed in her mind. What image?

She pictured Severus Snape’s head on a caterpillar body. :pinch:

Instantly I was lost in fits of giggles! I had to admit that it was very, very funny! Ridiculously funny! I still giggle every time I think about it. So much so that I just had to share it with you guys!!

Also, I went to a party today! Ok, I admit, it wasn’t really a party. It was actually just a small movie celebration thing. Just about everyone knows that the New Moon movie came out March 20th at midnight. I just had to go and buy it! I got this special edition one or something with all the neat bonus features and deleted scenes! It’s even got the coolest interviews and everything!! :3 OMG! It’s so great! I just absolutely love it!

Yes, I do me New Moon as in part of the Twilight series. I’m like a major fan! Ok, so a lot of the characters seriously suck! But! Jacob is the cutest thing in town! ♥ I’m just like, in love!! ♥ I can’t help myself! Plus, I’m a major drop for romance! Romance anything really! :yes:

So I went right out at 11:30p, Friday night to buy it! Then I stayed up half the night watching it and all the special features, interviews, and deleted scenes. After that I watched Twilight. ♥ I just had to see it again! Though Jacob wasn’t in the first movie of the series much – somewhat upsetting. :( But I liked the movie anyways! I watched all the awesome features there too!! :D So that made for a majorly great night!

Guess that’s all I have to blog about right now. :( I know, me sad about it too. I wish I had more to say but really nothings happened. Schools been super lame! Family has been…normal for the most part I guess too. Everything interesting or of any interest at all, I wrote about. T-T But! I’ll blog again soon! So stay tuned! :D






Abra Kadabra: Open!

I, Nina, am finally ready to declare Sweet Spade officially open! All the pages are up and ready for your viewing! I hope you like everything! Remember to comment! I really like them! Enjoy your stay!






Tacky Plugin

So I found this plugin the otherday, I thought it was great! Exactly what I was looking for, I couldn’t believe it!! You have no idea how happy I was! I had been searching for such a great plugin and this was just a miracle!! …or so I thought…

I spent over 24 hours stuggling to get it activated. After hours and hours of endless stuggling I finally asked a friend if I could borrow her email address to activate the plugin. I thought it would all be worth it. They say you have to work for the greater things in live, right? Boy was I wrong.

Upon finally getting the plugin activated I started to set it up. It seemed easy enough and I thought I was in heaven!! The plugin was great!! Better then anything I could have ever expected!!

This happiness did not last long though sadly. :( As I soon put the coding into my sidebar. Well, upon looking at my site’s sadebar I came across the once amazing plugin gone bad… I saw this,

tacky

“Powered by Max Banner Ads”

I could understand they would want credit, but I have linked them neatly on my credits page. I looked at the coding, had a friend do it too hoping to find some way to remove the horribly tacky link. Everything on my site is perfect, neat, and origanized. That horrible THING just ruined my site. I’m ashamed to have even considered such a horrible thing.

After all the hours and trouble I spent with this stupid plugin I find this tacky link. I just wanted to speak on my disappointment and displeasure. I have never disliked anything so much in my life. I would never recommend this plugin, nor will I ever use it again. The tacky plugin has been removed from my site and all of my friends have decided not to use it either.

I couldn’t believe they would put that ugly and tacky link there! I understand it’s freeware but come on, it’s tacky, ugly, and just makes everything look awful!! It was really, really upsetting to find that there and after all the work and time I put into setting up this plugin. It was so upsetting and disappointing! I thought I was really getting something good for once, I guess I was wrong…

If anyone wants to know, the plugin is called Max Banner Ads. I don’t recommend using it unless you like the tacky ad right there. You can not move it or remove it sadly. :(






Day 1

Did you all miss me? I missed you all too! I was gone a long time but I’m back now. I think for good this time too! Isn’t is great?! I’m real happy to have my site back. *huggles* I missed it a lot. Blogging on LiveJournal just wasn’t the same. I would start a blog but never finished. I guess after getting my own amazing domain like this I got too spoiled. *giggle* But now I have it back so I can blog a whole bunch more again!! Oh! I’m so excited!!

Right now Jennifer and I are working to finish the site. It shouldn’t take long. Of course the main problem right now if getting the ad code working. We had this problem last time though didn’t we? Well, we’re working super hard to get it fixed cause at the moment, I don’t have any ads on my site and I’m supposed to have two!! So that’s no good. We gotta fix that super fast! We’re working on it though. So we’ll have it fixed in no time at all!

On another note though – I got my site back!! I know, said it before but I can’t help it!! I missed it soooooooo much!!! *huggles site* And I missed blogging, not that much has happened really. Bleh! But things are better now cause my site loves me. *giggle*

And! And I’m updating all my web pages! Some of the pages here aren’t so accurate anymore and that makes me sad. So I’m re-reading them and giving them an update! Isn’t that great!? I hope the site’ll be done super quickly! I’m really excited to finish it after so long!!
