Love is in the Air!
Ahhhhhh… what a great day Saturday was!
Kenny & Elaine celebrated their wedding anniversary. They are such a wonderful couple – it’s a honor to know them and I know they will have many happy years ahead.
Boy & Girl got engaged! Whooo hooo!!! Such exciting news! Their love for one another just shines. It is nice to be around.
But the big event of the day (for 2004)? Emily & KW got married in Las Vegas! I declared myself their honorary bridesmaid (she declared herself my honorary bridesmaid), coordinated her hen night, went and had a pedicure with Emily last week, and had lunch with both of them on Thursday – and that was it. No truly ugly bridesmaid dress, or tons of expenses. How great is that? Seriously though, I was a glad to be a part of their big day, even in a small way.
Ahhhh… so many wonderful futures ahead for all of them. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it!

New Photos!
I was going to start posting new photos yesterday in Pixelog, but first I had to start editing photos again! So today marks the first day of new photos at Pixelog – and I plan on continuing daily from here on out!

Pixel, Pixel, Pixelog!
I have said for a long time that I wanted to update Pixelog, make some changes from where it was at originally. The biggest thing on my wishlist was to have larger images on the site. I babbled about it here for days, curious about other people’s feedback. I knew what I wanted, but just didn’t know if it was really possible.
It was. Thanks to Jennifer, the ALL NEW Pixelog is now up and running!
Jenn has documented some of the technical challenges on ScriptyGoddess, but I wanted to sum them up here also. She really gets all of the credit for taking my dreams and making them a reality.
– Changed directory structure on the server (Pixelog used to be within another directory.)
– Migrated to WordPress. Matt had done the initial steps when he migrated this site.
– Modified the existing design to work with images 600 pixels wide instead of 450 pixels wide.
– Based on an idea I had, Jenn coded the page to adjust itself for smaller browser windows. Go ahead and try it – make the window skinny and watch the page shift! (You have to click off of the window after you resize the window.) This makes the design work for the 20% of people that use an 800×600 or smaller screen resolution.
– Added another “skin” option to the site. Now there is the option to make it black, gray or white.
– The site is XHTML valid. Whoo hoo!
– Lots of other little changes here and there, Jenn was patient with my debates about what would work best, and guided me to making the right choices when important.
The biggest thing was the design issue. I loved the layout just as it was, and I didn’t want a site that looked like every other site. I felt that Pixelog was still unique, just needed some improvements (larger images). But I kept going in circles about the 800×600 issue and accommodating people with smaller screen resolutions. Then it came to me one day – literally while in the shower. CSS magic, java voodoo, and some Scripty fairy dust could make it happen. Just shift the page around. BAM! And there you have it. The NEW and IMPROVED Pixelog.
So, what do you think?

*Tap, Tap, Tap…*
I’m beginning to think either my site isn’t pinging or my comments are broken. I noticed earlier that my timestamps are off, maybe that is the problem? Is this thing on? Hello? Hello?
