Yes right now I’m testing out the timestamp.

Nope it didn’t work. It changed the time, but it still says AM instead of PM. There is no option available to change from AM to PM.

I surfed the web and found a code to add to my php script for local time.

No, it changed all the posts to the same time. They all say 2:34pm!

Hmmm… I wonder if this plugin will work?

No! It did the same thing!

Maybe if I remove the echo…

Nope, that didn’t work.

Oh I see..if I remove the word recent and keep echo it just might work…

Instead of <?php echo c2c get_recent_custom(‘time’); ?>

I’ll put <?php echo c2c get_custom(‘time’); ?>

Yay! I got it to work!! Now All my post will be posted in my time locally!

I can remember roughly what time I posted my last 2 or 3 posts, but for all the others I have no idea what time I posted them. So they won’t have times posted with them I’ll just put “time not available” for them.

If you must know:

What I did to get my post to appear as local time instead of server time is I installed a plugin to allow me to use a custom field. I then replaced the php code for get_time to the get_custom php code. So now with every post I have to enter the time manually which is more work, but people who don’t know that my posts are posted in server time won’t think I’m sitting here posted comments at 4am in the morning like I have no life.

The link to the plugin is: Coffee2code.com

Later..

Today we had family day at church which in my opinion went very well. My mom, Malcolm, Jea’neene, Khalil, Kiyan, Jerermy and by two boys were there. We had an excellent praise and worship (even though my sister said I have a big mouth), but everything went good.

The only thing that bothered me is out of all the services I’ve been to the sermon actually bored me today. I was like in a daze for most of the sermon. I hope Anthony doesn’t read this because he’s going to mad at me or I might hurt his feelings. (If you read this …I’m sorry.)

I wanted to bring my cousin Quashawn, but he was on the West side and he wanted me to take him to his girlfriends house to get his clothes and all this other crap that I really didn’t feel like doing, so I told my sister to call him and say I couldn’t get him.

I had so much stuff to do in the morning because I was in the process of taking my hair down. My hair looked so bad so I had to find a beauty store ASAP (On a SUNDAY!) to buy a wig to cover my horrid hair style. Luckily tomorrow I’ll have my hair completely down, washed and styled. Yay!

I also bought some contacts because I have to get my eyes examined and I wanted to see what color contacts to pick so I can get my license renewed on my Birthday: Sept. 6, 2006.

I think I spend too much money. For now on I’m going to be wiser when it comes to spending money. I can’t kept spending money like I do; It’s foolish and not thought out. I don’t want to be selfish, but material things are not everything. The contacts, new shoes and the 5 shirts I bought I didn’t really need. That’s almost $200 of wasted money. Shame on me!

I’ll be wiser next time…

:)Happy go lucky me

Today was another simple, rather boring day. I got up and worked on my website which I have to admit wasn’t that boring. Time consuming, but not boring. I took a shower and worked on my website again. I was then let down by a special someone, but that’s another story in itself.

Later I was invited to the movies to see “Ant Bully” by my friends wife. I took my son and niece to the movies and I was so mad at how much they charged for an order of nachos (the kind that comes in a box) and a large drink: $9.50. That sucked! I spent about 30 bucks at the movies.

After the movies I went to friend’s house to do his wife’s hair. That was fun and entertaining. I think her hair would be pretty if she just combed it back with hair on the side and blended the front into the back since her hair is shorter in the front. I tried to cut it to blend it into the sides, but if I cut too much I would have to cut all her hair shorter so I just clipped her ends. I think I’ll suggest that to her tomorrow.

We’ll its late and I’m about to sip on a cup of honey bush tea with milk and sugar and go to bed. Goodnight.

Well sweetvanillasugar.com came about because my former pastor at this church asked me to do the church’s website. About a month later he asked me to come up with a name for my web-designing company because other people he knew wanted their websites done by me and he said it wouldn’t be a good idea to go under my own name. I thought of this name because if I was going to have a website I was paying for I would like to have my website to be interesting and entertaining to myself as long as others. As soon as I paid for my domain I created my website and added several domains to it including the one with information about web-design.

Why I chose sweetvanillasugar.com? Click Here to find out.

At first I had a vanilla colored layout with links to my blog and other subdomain’s. I hated it, but because I still hadn’t figured out how to configure the php with the css to make my blog look nice I had to use that as my default main page. Luckily about 1-2 weeks later I figured out how to do it. As soon as I figured out how to design my blog it was so simple. I then made my blog my main page because I felt like having a separate main page just to have links to my site was a waste of space.

Before sweetvanillasugar.com I had 3 previous websites: jensgirlsonly.com, neopetsonly.com, leahs-webbie.com.

Jensgirlsonly.com was so sucky! Poor graphics, bad layout, ugly color scheme etc. Even though it was all these things everyone who visited it loved it. I thought it was great too because I had just learned how to do HTML. Looking back I really sucked, but that’s why we learn and improve our skills. The site was basically an all girls site that dealt with personal issues like self-esteem, boo letters (you submit an embarrassing experience), sexual education and more. I also had layouts for neopets guilds and blogs, backgrounds and music.

The next website was neopetsonly.com. Which off coarse was about neopets. I had a subdomain called the strawberry webbie builder which helped people build a website. I soon got bored with the neopets site and deleted it.

The third site was leahs-webbie.com. This site had my first blog, a neopets site again, and the strawberry webbie builder. This site was better than the first too. My HTML skills had improved, but I still lacked CSS and PHP skills. This site was soon deleted.

Along came sweetvanillasugar.com. While designing my former pastors website, I learned a lot more about webdesign. This is when I learned CSS. When I started my website I learned PHP (which is quite simple) and decided to design my entire website using PHP, CSS and a bit of HTML. By then my graphic skills improved. I decided to make all my graphics myself. I’m also planning to get them all copyrighted so no one will steal them.

We’ll that’s how sweetvanillasugar.com came about.

Today I’ve changed the whole layout of sweetvanillasugar.com. I wanted a simple, but nice layout that defined me. The first layout was a simple page with links to my websites. It had a color scheme of vanilla, brown and white. This time around it’s a color scheme of various pinks and white. I may change it back to the cream layout later. I tried to get my old blog to be my main page, but it wouldn’t work so I had to re-install the blog all over again. My 1st three post are all on the same days because I guess I can’t change the dates. Oh well. I won’t change it anymore…hopefully! It took me a long long time to figure out how to get the design I wanted using php. I finally figured it out and I am happy with the results. I may be updating this layout soon with some cool rollover links in the header. Well until later then…

Wow! I just noticed the sidebar actually stretches down the page. When I first did the layout (the same exact way) in my old blog the side bar would not stretch. I guess javaScript works when it gets ready.

Hmmm…Maybe I’ll add a blog search bar.

I’m back and I just added a mouseover top navigation bar. The links in the bar doesn’t work yet, but they will soon. I want to add my profile, but I might not. I might add a separate profile page instead of including it in the blog.

I’m so happy! I like how my blog looks.

Now the sidebar is short again. Oh well..I still love my blog!

Today is my second day at Cedar Point. I really needed a vacation from home to escape from all the stress that I’m going through at home. I’m having a pretty good time.

Yesterday we went swimming, rode a lot of rides and went bowling. I was so exhausted last night. All I did was relax in the hot tub because the pool water was too cold for my taste. My friends are still sleep, but I’m about to head to the cafe for the FREE continental breakfast before it’s all gone. I don’t know what it is, but let’s go check it out.

Later we are going back to the park and ride again. We are going to Soak city today, but I don’t know if I’m going to get in the water.

I just got back from the continental breakfast, which was ok. They had fruit, cereal, muffins, biscuits and gravy, OJ, milk, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, tea, coffee and bagels which I dropped on the floor! (I’m such a klutz) I’ve tripped twice, fell into a water ride because it was slippery and then I dropped the bagel on the floor. I hope I don’t slip, trip or fall today, well I mean anymore today.

Today is the day I finally purchased sweetvanillasugar.com. It started out at first a big joke because my ex-boyfriend couldn’t find a name for his website that no one had already purchased. I suggested to him to choose a name that was unique and didn’t have nothing to do with his website. A name that didn’t have a specific subject so he can have multiple subdomains with sites that were different subject wise. I suggested sweetvanillasugar just to further aggervate him. He then did a search and saw that the domain was available in all categories: .com, .net, .org etc. Of course as always he decided to not take my advice and he is still currently looking for a domain name. I on the other hand purchased my domain name and created a website so I can have something fun to do in my spare time since I’m currently receiving Workers compensation until who knows when.

Well, now that you know why I chose this name you can see I have a few sites on the sidebar that are all currently under construction since this is the first day the site has been up. My layout for this blog will also change soon, as I get better at CSS. As far as webpages I’m great with CSS. but blogging is a bit harder because I don’t know a lot of php. It’s hard enough trying to remember all the tags, selectors, properties, etc. that has to do with HTML and CSS. Now I’m trying to learn Javascript which is much more complicated and php too.
