Four Island

That was.... pretty unanimous. Love to see that people still vote, though, even though they don't post anymore! :) :(

The Hat - 3 vote(s)! iNetSneak - 0 vote(s)! Rubiwin - 0 vote(s)! Other - 0 vote(s)!

Ok, I'll start working on The Hat. I think.... I'll try. :) Sorry, I would love to get working on it, but there are a lot of other things in the way such as LFS, the Sabrina FanWiki, FourChat and more.... But I promise I'll work on The Hat sooner or later. :)

Also, I'm sorry I haven't posted on mah blog recently. I've lost inspiration, I don't know what to write. Does anyone think that maybe I shouldn't try to post every day? Maybe a few times a week, but not on a strict schedule? I don't know, I just want to make you (the viewers) and me happy at the same time.

Well! It turns out people actually care about Tetrgi! WHO KNEW? :) And for those who haven't a clue, try reading it's project page in the projects section. :)

Yes - 3 vote(s)! Ewwww! - 1 vote(s)! What IS it? - 3 vote(s)! Indifferent - 0 vote(s)!

At least I updated the poll on the right time this week!

Anyway, I have to say something about Yaplet. We on Four Island have been using Yaplet a long time for our synchronous communication, ever since Drifty found it, but lately it's been rather unreliable. It goes down alot, freezes so we talk to ourselves for hours and slows down. I may just end up writing my own replacement because Yaplet can be rather annoying.

Just like that, another year passes. Well, most of you seem happy for 2009, and while I'm sure we'll all miss 2008, I'm sure the future'll be bright.

YES! Time goes by so slowly! - 4 vote(s)! Not a chance, I looove 2008! - 1 vote(s)! What year is it? - 1 vote(s)! I'm, like, indifferent - 2 vote(s)!

And yes, I'm very sorry for doing the poll late again. I've already failed one of my yearly goals. Oh well. If I hadn't posted late, the True Falsities craze wouldn't have started yet. That might be good. :)

Wasn't Christmas fun? Yay! And a lot of people want to fulfill their dreams. Well, it didn't work for me, but I hope it does for you! :)

Also, with "uggglay", people were complaining that there was no "other" option. I pointed them at "Something else very cute!" and they said "But I don't want something cute!" So I decided to laugh and make "Something else very uggglay!" LOL. :)

An adorable Fourie toy! - 0 vote(s)! All my dreams come true - 8 vote(s)! Something else very cute! - 0 vote(s)! Something else very uggglay! - 1 vote(s)!

If you can see this, either CSS is dead or you like conspiracies!

Anywayz, the password is "cutefish".

YAY! People seem to be much more interested in Kirby Week this year! :)

YES! - 6 vote(s)! No. - 3 vote(s)! Maybe.... I haven't decided.... - 2 vote(s)! What on earth is Kirby Week? - 0 vote(s)!

Well, thus ends Kirby Week 2008. I hope you've all had fun! And, yay, I messed up yesterday! Stupid me!

It's nearly Christmas, so don't be sad, only a few more days until we're all glad. (That was a terrible rhyme)

I'm glad to see many "I LOVE ITs" for TGS, because it's such a great project. For you who don't know what it is, see this: The Greatest Story.

I LOVE IT. - 9 vote(s)! It's an interesting idea. - 0 vote(s)! What the negative is it? - 2 vote(s)! **** - 0 vote(s)!

I'm sure you all know, Kirby Week 2008 starts today! For those who don't know, Kirby Week is the third week of advent, when the candle is pink. Yes, I know, that wasn't funny. :)

I started the strange idea of Kirby Week in December 2006, a year before Four Island even existed. Since then, each Kirby Week has been a week of fun, joy and excitement at the holiday to come. Starting this year, I'd also like to do something for Four Island during Kirby Week.

I've decided that during Kirby Week, I shall post a weekly special (like VisitorGrid Week) on a set topic. Sound like fun? I hope it does!

This year's topic is how to code your own blog. TimTam has been nagging me to do this anyway, so I might as well use it for Kirby Week!

And also, I've decided to do use last year's Kirby Week poll for this year as well. So, all in all, I hope you all enjoy Kirby Week 2008!

Well.... I can see now that Layout 6 has to go. Oh well. I have to stop trying to change. :)

YES!1!1!1!1 - 2 vote(s)! It's, like, ok - 6 vote(s)! No - 10 vote(s)! Indifferent - 0 vote(s)!

So yes, I guess we are once again back at Layout 4. There have been two unsuccessful attempts to move to a new layout. It seems Layout 4 is quite popular. I'll try to resist the urge to change again, kay?

So, you people will start coming back to Four Island now that Layout 6 is gone, right? Right? :)

EDIT: Oh dear, it seems like I'm just being paranoid. People actually do like Layout 6. So, we're back to it. However, Layout 6 still clashes with IE. GAH, have to fix that.

Well, the new layout is out, and the 4th is gone. I guess we all had fun with it while it lasted.

We've had it for a while and it's nice - 4 vote(s)! It's getting old - 4 vote(s)! Ewww! - 0 vote(s)! Indifferent - 0 vote(s)!

I'm sorry I'm updating this poll on Sunday instead of Saturday. Something came up that, as usual, I was not told about earlier. :)

Speaking of the new layout, the 6th layout is out and, hopefully, complete! It is good and stuffs and yay.... ok, that was surreal. We're already up to the 6th layout? Strange.

Stranger is that we just had the 4th theme, and now we're having the 6th theme. The reason is because the 5th was created after the 4th had been around for a while, but it was pretty much the same thing, but in a notebook style (aligned to the left of the screen). Everyone hated it. It clashed with browsers and other evil stuffs. In the end, I just switched back to layout 4.

Technically, you could call the theme we just had 4.5 because the new Four Island was released during its lifetime, and the New Four Island didn't only clean up the code, it changed the display a little.

Anyway, with Four Island so far from where it started, I'd like to post some screenshots of the older layouts. However, there are no known screenshots of Hatkirby CDI (the pre-Four Island layout) or Layout 1. The only screenshot of Layout 2 (which was pretty similar to 1) I can remember is on one of those domain identifier sites where they tell you a lot of information about the domain, and it's WHOIS info. But I don't even know if that screenshot's still there.

So, because of that, I'd just like to show you Layout 3, the longest living Four Island theme. Coincidentally, I had saved the sources files defining the third layout in a backup, so the following screen shot is a recreation of Layout 3. Here's the screenshot.

Now, with the 4th layout's life time getting closer and closer to the large lifetime of good ol' layout three, I give you, the more prettiful, Layout Six.

....well, I guess Games won. And no one at ALL voted for TV! Oh well, I can't control the outcome of the polls, BUT I CAN CONTROL YOUR MIND. Just kidding.

Movies - 2 vote(s)! Music - 6 vote(s)! TV - 0 vote(s)! Games - 8 vote(s)!

So, did everyone enjoy VisitorGrid week? I didn't think the blogging posts on it were that good, but I liked the MPD one. Readers? What do you thing? You know I like comments! AND PINGBACKS!!!! YAY.

I'd put other stuff here, but I'm already planning to put it in other posts, so you'll just have to wait :)

Ok, that was the LONGEST POLL EVER. Let's be afraid of the Poll Of The Four Months. And the paradox, how can you vote that you don't vote? Very strange, but at least Four Island's back up!

My Opinion - 22 vote(s)! No, even if I think "Yes" - 0 vote(s)! Yes, even if I think "No" - 2 vote(s)! I don't vote - 8 vote(s)!

For once, I've decided to run a weekly (as in, a full week, not once a week) special. Because of the How To Write a Good Blog Post tutorial I wrote a couple of weeks ago, I've decided to create a VisitorGrid.

I laid out the "wants" and the "needs" and then spent about 6 hours filling in the boxes. I filled them all out but two, and I chose 6 of the best ideas to actually implement.

Now, everyday this week (except Saturday, of course), I will be posting a post whose inspiration comes directly from my VisitorGrid. At the end of the week, on Saturday, I'll release my VisitorGrid so you can see the original ideas and the ones I decided not to do.

I hope this'll be a lot of fun!

EDIT: To JAL, Gryphic and Timbo94, I know your websites are down. Sooooorrry about that! I can't fix it tonight, but I'll try ASAP tomorrow! Sorry! I was tweaking :)
