I was hacked?!?! Somebody hacked into my blog…I’m trying to clean everything up right now. Details coming later.

So, I’ve been working on my holiday layout like I said I was earlier, and it’s actually coming along very nicely, except for a few problems.
- I can’t find a decent falling snow script. I know, it sounds really dumb that I want it to be snowing on my blog, but I think it’s really cool! In years past, I’ve used this script from Dynamic Drive, but it’s not working that well now…it screws up scrolling in Firefox, and it falls all over the page. I want a script that only allows snow to fall behind the main content box. ContentRobot has a really cool script that makes it snow in your header, but sadly I’m not using the Kubrick theme (I design on Sandbox- it’s amazing!).
- I can’t decide whether or not to center my content or to left-justify it. Left-justify looks cool, but it feels unbalanced.
- I’m getting the feeling that there’s too much of one color in my design…the majority of it is red, but it’s a nice red that has a few accents in it. I want to find another accent color, but I’m having a hard time.
- I’m not sure if I should design some custom icons…not that important, but…
Other than that, it’s coming along amazingly. I can’t wait to finish it and put it up live. :)
So, I’m almost done writing my two papers for English class and I decided to take a break and blog.
I’m already working on my Christmas design for this year…I have a feeling that it’s going to use one of these headers from iStockphoto. I’m still conceptualizing the design, but I know that I’m gonna bring back the falling snow that we all love so much. I think the color scheme is going to be either blue or red, maybe green (but probably not).
But beyond that, I haven’t really come up with anything else. I still have about a month before my December 1st deadline, which is plenty of time. I’m gonna wow you this year. :)
Oh, and the “Mexican” in the “Mexican Christmas in October”? I just had a really tasty burrito. It was heaven on earth.
After October is over, I’m debating whether or not to put up a new theme before the holiday season. Right now, my blog is Pink for October, but I’m looking to change it back after October. I love supporting such a great cause, and I think that my design is pretty awesome, but I’m not really into the whole “pink” part.
If I decide to design something new (as opposed to returning to Blueberry Dreams), I don’t really want it to be blue. I’ve been blue for a probably a year now (maybe even more), so I’m thinking of using a new color. Orange or green, maybe? Orange would be a good color for November; it’s nice and harvest-y. Green might be a better spring color….I haven’t decided yet. I’ll probably do a orange/brown theme. Something new and interesting!
But, then comes December. I want to design my own Christmas theme this year. In the past, I haven’t really designed my own; I’ve either used a pre-made theme or just used a holiday-esque header. I want to go all out this year. Yes, I’m gonna bring back the snowflakes! I have no concept for the Christmas design yet, but I promise that it’s gonna kick butt. :)
I love the holidays…I wish they’d come sooner!
It’s official, themadness is Pink for October! P4O is an internet initiative where blogs/websites/etc. are pink-ified for the month of October to commemorate breast cancer awareness month.
I didn’t learn about this until last year, and by then it was too late to throw together a new design and go pink. This year, however, I started early and was able to put together a pretty cool design, and I’m really proud of it! I first heard about this cause from five dollar shake and neptunebaby, who both participated last year.
