We’re Evolving

Apr 172010

For the first time in the history of Lazily there is a comprehensive (well, comparatively speaking) “About” section, One for me (Mistress) and one for Lazily (Domainatrix). Tell me if you think the name Domainatrix is clever or stupid by the way

Writing Mistress was actually quite hard, I just don’t know what to write about me. What do people want to know that is of any interest? Generally, I don’t find myself overly interesting so it makes it hard.

Also, I’ve been playing with WP plugins. Now I can see what you do and when you do it (insert evil laugh here). Yes, I’ve added some stats and a who’s online plugin. All very neat! I love seeing where my audience is from, apparently I should be nice to east coast Americans and… somewhere that I think is in Europe – yes, yes I suck at geography ok! I’m sorry Europeans, tell me where you’re from and I’ll be super nice – all very exciting!

I’m also looking into a few more tweaks and such. I’m having a lot of fun with it really. Let me know if there is a plugin you can’t live without and I’ll check it out.

And lastly, I’m guessing you guys don’t like long posts… previous post wasn’t well received and yet, I was so proud! Oh well, back to the less serious things in live it seems.

Hello World!

Edit: You can hear me! And for the first time in a week I have been able to access Lazily from home. So what happened? Apparently my hosts host got hacked and everything went haywire. Rerun were onto it though and fixed much of everything in about 3 or 4 days (over the easter long weekend no less!). However, little Lazily didn’t come back, not for me anyway. I was incredibly concerned as many other people could access Lazily but just not me. I thought I was doomed!

Then out of the mist came my site monitor saying ‘Uh, your shit is down! And has been for 24 hours’ so I wasn’t the only one blind to Lazily. Re-emailed my host and asked what is up? Host looked into it more and BAM! Fixed a corrupted something or other and Lazily is open to the world again. Phew.

Earlier that day:

Can you hear me?

The site has been down for a week now but my host assures me all is good to go now. Now, lets hope I can access the site at home. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

All Shook Up

Yesterday I toiled over my PC and came up with a new layout for Lazily. This is the first that I’ve made in a long, long time. To the point where I don’t know enough any more.
I had some assistance though. I used melly.me‘s template Clean and editted and moved and this and that until I was happy with it. I still don’t know how everything works, it’s true, but I do have a better understanding. Let me know what you think.

Also, I joined Rev.iew.me a few weeks ago. It’s an awesome reviewing community. I haven’t received anything but honest feedback. There doesn’t seem to be any meanness around. It just feels like people who want to help other people improve their website. I wish there was more of a community though. Even just a forum would be nice. Maybe that is to come.

Also, lastly on the Lazily front, I will be creating ‘About’ pages in the near future. I had a suggestion that it could improve my blog and you know what? It probably will so keep an eye out for that.

So Squeaky Clean

Oh my woah! Will you look at Lazily? So Squeaky Clean my friends! It’s all pink and blue and beautiful. Alas, though, I did not make it myself. It is a free theme that I stole.. well borrowed, with permission. I thought it was time for something new and fresh and I didn’t have the time or the skills to do it myself this time. Plus, this has widgets! Oh my how I love a widgetized theme! *drools*
I’m also incredibly envious of the little girl up there (to the right) bikini and beach… it is so hot here today I wish I had a bikini and a beach and a few fish and a flower in my hair.
So what is new and happening here at lazily? Well, I’ve decided to start using tags! (finally) although I am too lazy to go back and tag all the old posts. They’ll be jealous I’m sure. I’m going to add some pages and such… you know all the stuff I always say I’ll do (but hopefully I really do this time). I think mostly though, I’m going to learn! I’m so far behind in anything wordpress and I feel bad because of it. I want to make these things myself damnit! So, I will learn and hopefully the next shiny and sparkly layout will be all mine

Now to go tweak!

It Broke…

Yes, the insane heatwave we had for about a week finally broke. This time last week was about 33°C (91.4°F) and rising! Today I don’t think we even hit 20°C and it was raining… beautiful beautiful rain! No humidity, no blistering, sweat inducing sun just fresh, delightful air!

And yet, not everyone can be pleased. I heard people complaining that it was just too cold today *shakes head* some people are never happy! Right now, I’m sitting here, with a tshirt and I have goosebumps as the breeze flows over my arms but I’m not moving, it’s just so nice being cool again.

As a side note, my website is now varying shades of blue! I wanted to update it to something a little more summery, I was thinking apricot, pineapple and citrus hues but then… well then, perhaps I looked outside and saw the sky? And it all changed! Let me know if it’s too bright or if anything is too small or too big and I’ll tweak here and there… this time I promise to get some decent smilies Maybe.
