Ch-ch-changes!

April 7th, 2007

I’ve recently made a few changes to my blog. Firstly, I’ve rearranged the order of how things are shown on the right side panel. I’ve also changed the Archives so you can find old posts using a drop down menu instead of a huge list of months to scroll through.

Most importantly though, I’ve added a way for people to donate money (mentioned in a previous post) and advertisements so I can hopefully get a little something back. I have tried to make both elements as unobtrusive as possible so they are easy to ignore should you wish to, but they are there if you’re interested. The ad’s should become more suitable to my blog the longer they’re there for – please understand that this could take a while.

The next changes I will be making is adding a few more blog categories so topics that aren’t about me don’t go in the Suzi category. I just need to think up some suitable names and then I’m good to go!

Flopsy Food Fund!

April 6th, 2007

Hello good people of the Internet! If I could just have a moment of your time…

Earlier today Flopsy sat on my knee and looked up at me with a small frown on his little face. As anyone would I asked what was the matter, and he said to me (I’m paraphrasing of course);

All this time I’ve let you write about me and show my pictures to the world, and yet we’re doing it for nothing! Had I known this was the case I would have got into merchandising long ago. Do you realise how much you’re losing by not letting my adoring fans contribute to my well-being?

I had to admit, I’d not really thought about it but I suppose he does have a point. Why not get something back if people are willing to give it? This is still a free to view website, but should you wish to offer a small donation because you like a blog post or a section of my site then there is a donate button at the side of the page. Me and Flopsy will be extremely grateful!

Flopsy wishes me to add that he intends to take most of the proceeds to buy food, bedding and toys. He knows that without donations he will still get all these things, but if we ask then he will get more. ;)

Can you handle the cuteness?

March 24th, 2007

A little polar bear cub called Knut has been causing a bit of a media frenzy lately. I won’t go into details (I am of the “SAVE KNUT!” camp though), but I will post this video so you can see for yourself what all the fuss is about!

Thanks go to Cute Overload as that’s where I first saw the video as well as to who edited it. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to me

February 18th, 2007

Last Sunday was my birthday. I didn’t feel like saying anything at the time, but I want to say something on my blog to acknowledge that it happened. I’ll keep it brief.

Firstly, I really want to thank my family and friends. I really appreciate everything that was done to make it a special day for me. A few people in particular really made it wonderful for me and I am so grateful for that.

I’ve not really been feeling myself lately (a few personal problems and hormonal issues I won’t discuss any further), but I just wanted to say that. I didn’t want to leave it unsaid.

Thanks again.

Thanks Cat!

February 10th, 2007

I just want to make a quick post to give a big thank you to my sister, Cat, for giving me an idea that you might notice I’ve implemented on my blog. She was telling me that when she writes a long post that she puts in a cut so you click a link to read more. I thought this was a great idea and thanks to her mentioning it I found out it’s a feature that my blog can also have, I’d just never noticed it before!

You may notice on some posts that at the bottom there is now a link you can click to read more of the blog entry. If you think the title and the introduction sound interesting then please feel free to read on (you can also see the full post by clicking reply and then scrolling up), however now it’s more of a choice to view the insane amount of text and pictures I may upload.

I won’t be doing this for all my posts though… Some I feel warrant it because they’re quite wordy, but ones with a few shortish paragraphs aren’t long enough for me to think it’s worth doing.

Anyway, I hope you all like the change and another huge thanks to the best sister in the world!

Making a difference online

February 8th, 2007

I’m going to write about how people like you and me can make a small difference just by using the computer and the internet. I know there are plenty of other places like the ones I will list out there, but these are my favourites and that I have faith in.

World of Warcraft Idea – Character Houses

February 3rd, 2007

I had an idea that I wrote about on the official European WoW forum over a year ago. It was pretty much shot down by the majority that replied, but I’ve seen it suggested countless times since and I still hope it will happen.

Lost in thought… part 2

January 26th, 2007

For some reason I’ve been thinking about an actor recently called Jonathan Brandis. I could write a huge list of all the TV shows, mini-series and films he starred in but he was most famous for his role in a sci-fi action drama in the mid 90s called SeaQuest (DSV / 2032). Unfortunately, he took his own life in November, 2003 – he was 27 years old.

Lost in thought… part 1

January 25th, 2007

I was so tired when I went to bed last night, but I woke up early this morning and now can’t sleep again. I hate it when that happens. My mind has been all over the place lately. I guess I can’t settle when there are things I want to say.

w.bloggar

January 18th, 2007

I really do love WordPress – I like the appearance, the functionality, the control I have; in fact, there is hardly anything I don’t like about WordPress… notice I said hardly.
