SUCCESS!

 A little bit of magic eraser sponge did the trick, and Biscuit’s… nose dust is now scrubbed off! 

Phew, though, I was sweating, I was so scared of damaging her faceup with the sponge. I never have luck with stuff like that. I usually end up having to scrub off the whole thing because I scuff everything good up while trying to remove the bad stuff.

I’m slowly getting photos snapped of all the dolls for their icons for the main site… just gotta plug through it and not say “oh but I need to give her a new faceup first and fix her blablabla”… ‘cause the icons aren’t permanent, I can update them whenever I want!

I need to look into a few things today:

-How in the flaming fuck does one get favicons to show up?! I don’t know if it’s just because I’m using safari or what. Yeah, should probably check other browsers…

-Dusting doll clothes. I don’t know if maybe it’s a matter of just lintrolling really patiently or I should just hand wash. But there’s so much dust in my doll area…

-Remember those tiny pixel doll collection rectangles from people’s sigs on DOA? (Remember sigs??!) Let’s figure those out for the front page…

-What if oekaki board?!

I’d also like to get a few all-over “whirlwinds” of cleaning in but I have no energy. Maybe after a nap… 

I hate how fast my days off always seem to go down the drain, and then it’s back to my miserable retail job again. 17 days left there, 24 days left till school starts and I can get to work on starting my life over. I’m glad I’ll have the site put together before everything starts, because my priorities are going to really have to shift if I want to be successful. 

Grateful to be able to throw myself into hobbies for the time being though…

Look at this creature, I love her so much. Still really want to replace her nose and feet with yellow elbow and maybe give her a new mouth though. We’ll see! Supplies for that project are on the way, and then I’m on a no-buy for August (scawwy uwu;;)

Site progress

 REALLY happy with how the site’s coming along, despite all my frustration with it yesterday. Yesterday morning I configured the dns settings wrong and the site wasn’t coming up. I just figured it was taking a while to populate but— when I reread all the how-tos I realized I messed up and dove back in.

The site’s still nowhere near finished of course (who really finishes a neocities anyway?) but I feel a pretty real sense of progress with it, given that while it was down I filled out the entire About Me section, and pretty much half the doll/bear profiles. Still a tonnnnn of work left to go on the dolls, given that there’s roughly a million of them o_o;

Feeling pretty good about Blogger as a platform for this portion of the site. I’d tried Zonelets and I just wasn’t having fun with it— couldn’t imagine myself formatting everything so perfectly in HTML every time -__- There’s tags and labels on this thing too, which I really like. I haven’t made it functional yet but I intend to link to the label for each doll in their profile so people can see more pictures or see me talking about the doll here or something.

I’m going to have to get back to work on doing face-ups again soon. Biscuit is all smudged up and it’s a real shame because her face up is like… the best I’ve ever done in my life. 

Like do you see those black splotches on her nose?! How does that even HAPPEN?! I’m so mad, she only had this face up for three months… but I can replace it probably. I just need to wait till payday for some supplies and I’ll get to work again.
