Still prints in your mind

Well hello there. As you can see—I’m back from my break! It was a much longer hiatus than I thought it would be, but I think it was worth it.

I’d like to point out a couple of the new additions/changes with the site.

First of all—the new layout! I’m actually pretty proud of it, especially the header image. It took a while to figure out how to get that effect with the text in paint.NET, but I think it turned out well.
The coding was another story, though. I’m still working on fixing it up exactly—the colors and certain things gave me some grief.
But either way; it’s done and looks good.

I’ve added quite a few new graphics—meaning new banners, avatars, and new neopets petpages.
I also created an animation section, and added a few of those.

I fixed up a lot of the tutorials and articles, and redid the visitor section to make it more user friendly and easy to navigate.

Now, I was going to convert to WordPress, and actually started the process of it (I know my way around the program now, at least). I realized at some point, however, that I’m sort of… addicted to FanUpdate. Sure, it isn’t the best blogging system in the world, and sure, it has plenty of issues, but I’m just attached emotionally.

It sounds very pathetic, I know. But when I got to thinking, FanUpdate and I have had our fair share of times together.
I used it to blog about how I had gotten my first 5/5 website review.
I used it to blog about how much I hated it.
I used it to blog when I missed my friends;
I used it to blog so many great memories of last summer.
I’ve used FanUpdate so much. It’s hard to part with it!

Don’t think this means I won’t convert to WordPress—I will. Within the next week or so, for sure. I just want to take some time to read through all of my past blogs with FanUpdate, and save them all.
I want to make sure I don’t forget any of the great memories that this messed up program and I share together.
