Showing posts with the label Blog Changes

Panic!!!

Deleted my Google+ account and thought I had deleted the whole blog as well. Total meltdown and panic stations, couldn't log in at all. John noticed that the blog was still online and he could log in, so obviously I hadn't killed the blog. However my account name was showing as "unknown", he couldn't remove my account from the blog either oddly despite blogger saying "deleted" (was going to try remove and readd to see if it unborked it) I then tried an old link I had saved for blogger and it prompted me to choose a display name, did that and everything seems to be working as normal again. So looks like I had my blogger account tied to Google+ and me deleting Google+ borked something, luckily recoverable though. Heart stopping moment along with my usual deflection "I was gonna quit anyway" (John saw through that lie in under a second :P ) Backup user account created as a precaution against further issues....

Blog Changes

Messing around with the layout again, let me know please if things look odd and if the header is too hard to read :)
Things might look a little odd for a few minutes while I switch the layout :) *edit* 10:24 pm i think everything is working, but if anyone notices anything messed up please let me know :D

Everyday in May #5

Everyday in May #5 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip ACEO Coloured Pencil on Murano paper Another quick one today as I spent most of the day looking at code :/ Small little dragon and a flower. I love this paper colour but the problem is I can't use it for much. I could probably use pastels on it as I think CPs are too transparent for it. The aqua paper colour just doesn't go to well with most CP colours, they really pick up the colour so what you want to get most of the time does not happen :p I am horrible when it comes to code. I literally have to follow each character with my finger because if I don't, it all jumps around. Mr.F thinks I'm dyslexic for that reason. Also, that I never write numbers down right. Backwards, out of order, writing the wrong numbers down but thinking they are right. I think I'm just horrible with numbers of any kind :p (but when you read all the signs of dyslexia I do meet them all :p but that could b...

Crap :/

Various WIP ACEOs Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip So didn't get in to Uni and oddly I am all right with that lol Mr.F's mom thinks I'm strange for being all right with it, but honestly since the whole MS diagnoses (which has come up a lot lately, I will try not to make it a focus of the blog I promise), I really have stopped caring so much about things that can't be changed. Hard to explain, might not make sense to some people. It was always a long shot with them only taking so many students and lots applying :) Not going to stop me from drawing and that is all that matters. But what I should have done was apply to the college at the same time, but stupidly didn't. So might try that but might be too late to apply. Going to figure that out tomorrow. 3 ACEOs above that still need some work. One angry rooster, one little lily and an inked dragon that still needs a lot of work. I forgot actually how much I like using ink. Just using lines to shade things, not relying on...

New comment box

Mr Fuzzy here (I now have posting rights :-D *Cackles*) Ok so after LOTS of frustration and temptation to get drunk in an attempt to make sense of it, I FINALLY got disqus to install and work. (its a new comment handling applet thing, meant to try and reduce spam, as comments which get a poor rating automatically dissappear as voted by people (if it gets abused then it goes, the threshold for stuff vanishing is pretty high to counter that though :-) If its too annoying for people commenting then it also will go, so leave a message and let us know :-) ) Issues: 1) Will not work with Ubuntu linux (Which is what is on Mrs Fuzzy's laptop and what I had loaded on my desktop) which meant a lot of wasted time, till I logged into Windows XP where it worked fine. 2) Took a few goes tinkering around for it to work, found that comments had to be set to "full page" and not "pop-up" to get it to work 3) I don't get the name, I realise its a trademarkable name, but I ...

Blog Might look funny

I'm trying to make the columns and post body wider like they are here . But its not working *angry face* I have a love hate relationship with any kind of coding. Half the time it doesn't work and the times it does is because I had Mr.Fuzzy help lol When I look at the code its just a jumble of letters and numbers (another reason Mr.Fuzzy think I might be dyslexic) So if the blog looks odd over the next couple of days its because I messed something up lol (Yes I did have to fix it...again....ugh widgets...too wide and I still think blogger has horrible settings page layouts...why arent the widgets html in the blog html...its annoying!! (good for non geeks...but confusing for geeks like moi >> Mr F)

Blogging with a Purpose

Image
I was given an award from the very nice Chrissy :) Go read and check out her blog :) Lots of interesting things to read and see :) hmm I don't generally have a purpose when I blog. Just try to think of anything to say or post and hopefully it includes art more than once a week ;) I added a little drop down menu on the left listing some of the blogs and websites I visit. Hopefully all the links work. I still have more to add and if I missed anyone, please let me know :) Chance to win some lovely "candy" over here at Deb's blog :) To help her get over 2000 visitors (which she now has) And now, off to bed :)

New Banner

Image
"Mr.Angry" Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip More fur completed and most of the left ear. There is actually a lot of white on this, around the ears and on his chin, but its really hard to see right now. Once I get the background coloured, the white should show up better. For some reason this looks really blue on my monitor...very strange. I'm going to put a light blue base background and than layer some darker blues and maybe some greens. Following the reference picture pretty close. Added a banner to the blog. *look up* I really like the way it looks. I just used the same dragon that is on my website banner and added some text. I could have added a load of textures and a bunch of effects but didn't want it to be really distracting. Technorati Tags: art , colored pencil , coloured pencil , Leopard

What Time is it Mr.Wolf?

Added the current time here in Scotland to the blog. I though it was a neat little add on and I can't remember what blog I found it on. I remember playing that game when I was a kid, and getting hurt. But that was why it was fun (not so much the crying and bruises but somehow still fun), like a lot of the games we played and got hurt in the process. Lots of bruises and a few bloody noses, and that was just from playing tag. Maybe add a slide show if it doesn't slow down loading time too much.

Template Changes

In between trying to draw another sleeping creature, I'm going to try and mess around with the layout here. Just a heads up if things start to look a little funny. Also going to go back and use the blogger labeling system for past posts. Might make it easier for me to find certain entries when needed. So hopefully art later :) *edit* Got the labels done, now to draw *edit #2* Changed some of the layout, but I'm not sure what I think of the white. Might change it. Still want to mess with the template and add more colour. Looks really plain right now
