Updates
Previous updates and not all of the updates are posted because I started this site in 1995 and since then, it has undergone many changes.
Chronological Order
- : 06.26.14 :
Time for another overhaul, changing little things at this time mainly in the background. Got many plans, but takes forever and a day to get something I like going. I also need to research to refresh on how to edit the code again. Added new background to site for time being. - : 02.17.14 :
added 2014 Calendar. Then I stared at my site forever, thinking what next. - : 07.15.13 :

- : 06.02.09 :
Changed the background from a light beige color to this darker gray - : 02.11.09 :
Updated the front homepage to a newer looking one, actually just erased the story, and added more words :), oh and change the picture too. Made the story a separate page, should check it out, you can find it on the 'Home' Link. Also updated more info on 'About' page. - : 01.31.09 :
Added a 2009 Calendar page. Added few more pictures of my dog, not really mine, but it's easier to say it that way, Casper. Can also be found in the link of Photo gallery. I like the way it turned out, so I will one day do the other pages the same. - : 09.21.08 :
I redid the Calendar page and now it shows the whole year, and clickable links. I am still playing with the calendar concept idea so it might change again. Added few more picture pages, Camping and Caving. I still need to add a go back button on the new picture pages, until then, just hit BACK. - : 05.12.08 :
Added more months to Calendar for upcoming events, and past events that occurred. Mothers day and Wedding photo added only viewable in calendar section. Camping trip coming up here at end of month, pictures should be posted about 3 months later at my rate haha. - : 03.21.08 :
Added Sequoias pages 1 and 2. Both are in flash format, one is 2.5mb in size and second one is 1mb is size, might take a while to load, depending on your connection. - : 03.21.08 :
Took longer than I expected, but I hope that after 2 web programming classes that I am able to create a smoother and easier to use website. I will be adding more pictures from 2 trips to the Sequoias.
Changing the Calendar layout to more of a Calendar and maybe use a drop down menu system, also redoing the Contact page to actually submit comments or trash to me :) - : 12.05.07 :
Finally got to use Microsoft Expression Web, using a template atm, but I am liking what I am using. Doing a complete redesign of the site or majority of it for now. - : 08.19.07 :
Added a new Page, Monterey Bay Aquarium. I saw this new product, to me, at Staples :) Microsoft Expression Media and I was able to download a 60 day trial. Works good, but not on this free website because of all the ads. If it was ad-free it will be perfect. Played with it and like a lot of the layouts but some are not good for this site, and other I was not able to adjust some of the setting :( Overall it is worth the 60 day trial, you can see one example that I used already from the Link above, Monterey Bay Aquarium.
- : 08.16.07 :
Changed the title of the website that viewers are able to see on the title bar, WTF was I thinking before. - : 05.7.07 :
Fixed all the links on this page. I had many broken links.
- : 02.6.07 :
Added a few new pages, the Animal House page, the Hot Import Nights, and re-linked the Holiday Card page on the menu, and lastly I added a lot more pics to the Greenland page too. I figured out how to add more menu items on the menu without starting over, had to play with it online because I did not save my work, looks like it works so far.
I am also in the works for adding a Auto Salon Expo from the pictures I have, many tight a$$ rides, if your into imports and stuff, only thing is I cannot find the pictures, yet. When I do you can bet I will put them up. - : 02.1-5.07 :
Cropped and edited hundreds of pictures and uploaded to website. Reduced quality to save space, so if picture is a little fuzzy, then you know why. I took a look at all of them and i can say at least 98% is fine. Other 2% is because I did so many I did not care anymore :) - : 01.27-28.07 :
Uploaded and created the New Years Page and removed the Xmas Card page. I still have it, just not active on the menu. You can see it by clicking the link Xmas Card. I thought I should have it up because the pictures are my two puppies both mixed and one is a poo-chi and the other is mixed Pomeranian w/ Maltese, more Maltese imo. The cards are really cute. I took more time with the black pup card, but both are nice. - : 01.26.07 :
Having lots of time on my hands I like to try a lot of shht. Before I changed the menu thing I used an older program version of All Web Menus to create a small and simple menu thing. It did its job but was very plain. You can see the version HERE. I also am playing with Linko Web Button Maker. Some things look good, but I can not figure out how to have a transparent background or a dark background, because all buttons have the white background and on a dark site or a colored site, it shows, and the button looks ugly. I used a portion of it on my picture page New Years.

Tried to use another program Macromedia Contribute 3 but to no avail I was not successful. So then I tried the Adobe version Abobe Contribute 4 and I got it to work for like a second, but I think the error that I was getting was not from the programs but from my site, I do not believe it is compatible yet, because it errors out. I was thinking of using Dreamweaver or GoLive but I was thinking that Adobe products are good shht but very hard to learn on your own. I have other Adobe products like CS2 and DVD Encode, good shhts but starting out at first is hard. - : 01.14-20.07 :
Got a new program an FTP thing-of-a-jig called Filezilla. I had others before like cuteFTP and other shhts but I never got the hang of it. I really wanted to use it to host shht but I still can not figure that shht out, then I was able to use the FTp with my site and I was like TIGHT Shht! It is a lot easier to upload shht. To bad I did not know how to use it back in the days.
- : 01.13.07 :
Created a new menu system thing that I thought was pretty cool. Only thing is I am not sure how to really update it without starting over. Created using SoThink DHTML Menu.
- : 01.1-12.07 :
Started the redesign of the page that was created back in my high school days. Erased some old ass text that made the site look ugly. Probably thinking the same now :)
