This place has been dressed in a new layout that I adore, made by thrashmetal, and hopefully things look slightly more organized around here. I put up a notice on the sidebar and in the userinfo about my old character tributes, I'm sorry if there's been any confusion of people trying to find them. I guess sometimes I forget people actually read my stuff, and I didn't bother to sent out notices when I should have.

A Lucky Book is also prettied up since I was inspired by this css -- you may have noticed it was a little different before, though that was just an experimentation with a default  -- in a layout I spent all day today coding. It's not completely how I envisioned it, but then again it never is. I'm satisfied for now, we'll see how long it stays up. Along with the layout, I edited the complete book list to look a little better and have some sort of attempted structure. It'll look much better once it fills up some more. I edited the about section as well. Just the written section about me really, since it was slightly outdated, and I added a picture which should probably be updated to something more recent when I get the chance.

After watching Resident Evil: Degeneration, playing Resident Evil 4, and having a go at the demo version of Resident Evil 5 that just came out, there may be a related little something popping up in the future. If it does, it will not be a character tribute. It will probably be a little page where I can write essays and opinions, document my playing, discuss the series in general, and have an excuse to plaster pictures of Leon somewhere. I feel hugely nerdy about it but I guess the domain has been "empty" for a while now, it'd be nice to get something other than a book reviews blog up to be updated. (Which isn't exactly not-nerdy itself.) I'll give a heads up when I start working on it and of course, once I upload it.

Also, I'm hating the domain's layout so we'll see what time I have left over to work with that.

My layout archive, Locket, has finally had the new layout uploaded. I finished it a while ago, but I forgot to upload it until now. Oops! Anyway, huge relief to have it finished. The old version was an absolute mess, because it hadn't been updated with latest layouts and even had some old sites up in the archives. I've only checked the layout in Safari, so let me know if there are any issues you have when using a different browser and I'll fix them asap.

Happy New Year! The domain has been renewed for one more year. The layout archive revamp is about 90% complete, and will most likely be uploaded sometime soon because I'm desperate to replace the mess that's up right now. I'm also thinking about transforming the personal page a bit, but that'll take more time for me to brainstorm over.

Just a progress update. :)

I tried fixing up Cleverheart.net again, but with a new layout this time. The old one I tried just wasn't coding right. This one should work across all browsers. If it doesn't, let me know so I can kick myself. I forgot to link to my email on the page, but I'll go back and add that in tomorrow since it's late.

I'm getting pretty lazy with my layouts. Or maybe they're just different than what I used to do -- I guess I'll roll with that one. I tried doing something with subpages, but that uninspired me very quickly. I guess the main domain will be very simple for now, I just enjoy using it as a portal and I can't think of what to write in any subsection that isn't complete space filler.

Still planning to work on the layout archive, possibly very soon since I've survived another college semester. Yay! :)

Cleverheart.net has a new simple layout, version 40 I believe. Isn't it crazy how many layouts I've made for this thing? I took down the link to the Rikku tribute because I'm probably going to take it down. It's my last tribute left, but I have no more love for it and the visitor hits have decreased as well.

I've been updating A Lucky Book very often, you can visit the page occasionally to check for updates or use the rss feed. I won't be logging the updates here.

My next project will most likely be reviving Locket, the layout archive.

11/22/08 EDIT: The old layout is back up until I can fix the new one to be compatible for everyone.

aluckybook, my book reviews community, is now located in blog form on cleverheart.net. The new URL is http://cleverheart.net/books and the domain's index page has been updated to reflect the new addition. I've been trying to give the blog its own subdomain, as I do with all of my sites, but it's not working for some reason. Even so, you'll always be able to access it with the address above, even if I end up changing it to a subdomain later.

Cleverheart.net is currently undergoing some huge changes, because I'm unsure about webdesign lately. Inspiration doesn't come as easily as it once did, nor do I have time to dedicate to my websites. And so the new layout currently displays this state of mind, with links only to places staying up. Everything else was closed down, and probably won't come back. I'm sorry if I disappointed anyone. Just in case, I created back-ups of everything. I was pretty close to closing my Rikku site, but because I spent weeks revamping it last month I'm leaving it be for now.

If you're affiliated with me, feel free to take me down now without any hard feelings! I don't have a links page at the moment and don't know if I will in the near future. I will probably link my close friends on my personal page, and maybe some sites I feel are inspirational on my layout archive, but I don't want affiliates on my domain right now simply because I'm not sure when inspiration will hit me again.

So these are the latest changes. It's not really a hiatus. I'll still try to work on updating here and there with what I have left and I will still be around online. Maybe something will strike me and motivate me to build the domain up again. But for now, this is where I've stabilized the network. And no, I'm still not planning on deleting my domain in the future. I just like it too much!

Hey look, I did something! Upbeat Soul was an embarrassing mess, so I cleaned it up. New layout, no more broken links (I hope), fixed up the messy gallery, and affiliated with Todd's Tidus tribute (Poltergeist). I also replaced the three link buttons I had with new ones, because the old buttons were ugly. Because the site was only backed up on my domain and not on my computer, i accidentally lost a page or two by deleting it when I uploaded the new layout. Oops! But it was nothing major, I'm sure we'll all live.

This was all supposed to be uploaded much earlier, but I've been too busy. I'm getting back into webdesign bit by bit, so the domain is definitely not going anywhere. Some sites may close down in the near future, though. My sites are all old and embarrassing, sorry. Right now I'm working on a new domain layout, but I have no idea how long it'll take me.

Oh, my personal page finally went back up again too. But that's not very exciting, I'm sure.

The nothing-special layout version 38 is up over at Cleverheart.net. I have a hard time designing (especially on my slow Macbook) and I ended up with a simple layout not much different than my previous layouts.

As for changes, all of my tributes have been moved to an archived page and will no longer be updated with new content (though I am planning new layouts for most of them). All of my fanlistings have closed. I currently have only two active projects, my personal site and my layout archive/design portfolio which both must be redone. There is a feed of this update journal on the index page, which does slow the loading time down a bit. I will consider removing that feature if it slows the page down too much, but I do think it's rather useful to visitors. The affiliates page is gone for now, affiliates are linked with buttons on my exit page. I let a few affiliates go, mostly just those who haven't updated in longer than one year or had broken links. I've also dropped broken links on my general exit page.

Consider version 38 as a transition phase of the network -- it's nothing special, but better things will come later. :)

PS: cleverheartnet has a new design and finally features proper navigation by site in the right-hand column.

PPS: All of my pages are now subdomains, though the old URL works just as well. All network subpages had their exit pages tweaked and dead links removed. Some have had stylesheet tweaks as well.

Fragmented has one new affiliate, and has had dead links weeded out of the exits page.

My Maguri/Maora fanlisting and Kokoro Kikai fanlisting have closed, because I could not find suitable owners in two weeks time. I now no longer own any fanlistings. :)

Look for the new domain layout by this weekend. Don't expect anything grand!
