We love link love from Slice.ca

I’ve noticed a lot of people have taken to hotlinking images from my site. It’s not cool, that’s my bandwidth you are using aXXXXXXs! I’ll be taking steps in the next few weeks to make sure that if you hotlink an image from my site, you’ll get a nasty surprise instead of the expected image. If you want to use an image you see on I want – I got, download it and host it on your own damn server! UDPATE: After thinking about it this post was a little harsh. So, I’ve edited the language abit. I just wanted to let hotlinkers know that I’m pissed. Hotlinking is NOT COOL and just plain rude. There are many free image hosting services available to everyone on the net. So, please don’t do it.

So, I took a much needed sanity break from blogging over the holidays. I still haven’t caught up with email and won’t do that until tomorrow. I did post about a lot of sales for boxing day. I checked my stats today and the traffic was ridiculous from Dec 24 – 26. An average of 3,642 unique visitors each day hit this site. Insane! I’m amazed it didn’t go down, thank you Dreamhost, you rock. Thanks to Redflagdeals for the link love. It was a major contributor.

So this is my new theme for now. It brings some new features. 1. Post navigation items at the top of the page 2. Click comments, it’s the green thing with the thumbs up and thumbs down. Tell me if you like or hate the post, it’s as easy as a click. It’s mostly for “i want” and “i got” posts. 3. Going forward posts will have Tags. You can find them on the permalink pages only for now. 4. Added lightbox to make pictures look pretty. See the results below. Things that are gone 1. Socializer plugin 2. Direct Category and Archive feeds. They don’t display in the archives anymore. This I want to fix

Okay, the site is up and here is the new layout. Let me know what you think. I’m not sure I’m satisfied at the moment.

Hi folks. I’ll be down for maintenance for a few hours starting soon.

I’ve been plagued the last few days with some nasty network and server issues with my hosting company. It seems they have given the green light and everything should honky dory again. Sorry about the downtime folks. Anita

Hi folks After my upgrade I’ve had some issues with my blog template. Sorry for all the flipping around and hopefully the problem is solved now.

Wish me luck. Things will look a little funky maybe.
