YAY! *cheers and dances* I got the profile layout done (mostly)! I don't know whether the character name should go at the top of the page or at the top of the start of their profile (if this, I'm just going to change font and do it instead of make a piccy). And I still have to make backgrounds for the other 3 profiles. Gryff, Raven, and Sly. But, go here to see the layout. Tell me whatcha think. (yes, this is the "template" for them, I just used Adrienne as the experimental one. lol I also saved her profile page under her name, too).
And I told Minna about our site, and told her to tell other ppl if she talked to ne1. Because nobody is online when I am. Or I'm too busy doing other things to talk. And we now have a student (or more) in each common room! Minna told Amiya and Amiya signed up for Sly (of course). And Minna accidentally send a blank sorting hat, but that's okay. lol I don't think she sent one with her chara yet, tho. And I need to decide if I'm gonna be Hermione b4 someone else takes it. But I dunno if I want to. I'm kind of thinking "no" at the moment..and I got Adrienne an e-m@il of Adrienne.Orenda@hiddenhogwartsowl.zzn.com. Is that okay? The format, I mean? Or should we have them made a Adrienne_Orenda@hiddenhogwartsowl.zzn.com? (sorry I'm using your name, Adrienne, but you were the first to sign up and kind-of have become the "example" lol) Okay, I'm going to go now..

Yes! It's the incredible wandering snitch! =) It's COOL! lol Check it out! lol Isn't it awesome? It's for the Quidditch page (obviously), but I wasn't sure what the rules, etc. are, and what I should write on the page. So I just made the basic layout. hehehe, I could sit here and watch it flap around the page all day! lol I'm serious!

Okay, now I am going to do something productive. Member Profiles. I am going to get them done. I can do this. (or maybe not, we'll see)....

I:

1. Put a counter on the index
2. Linked all of the pages/changed the links on all of the pages
3. Put a piccy on the "new" page
4. Worked on the Profiles, I'm making a background for that now.
5. Added link to Emelan in the Links section (Lilac, you need to sign up for the RPG!)
6. Added Buffy and Harry in the Gryffindor Member section, Adrienne in Hufflepuff, and Lucía in Ravenclaw
7. Oh, and I changed the info on the main page. Yep. If you have anything to add..um..add it? *lol*

Do you think that's enough? I do! *is tired now* And I need to call the movie theater and see if they have tomorrow's times listed yet..agh! Um..we need to
a)get chat rooms for the common rooms
b)make the Dining Hall page & the Shops page
c)make the Quidditch page (with the rules and stuff on it) & Quidditch Team pages
d)make the House Points page
e)make forums for the DailyProphet and Yearbook class
f)DO THE CLASS PAGES (can't stress this enough, but I'm working on the profiles right now)
g)make a link-to page with images/banners and stuff
h)make polls(?optional)..and maybe a "site logo contest"-use a form, let them submit their logos, and then have a "voting thing" where ppl choose and maybe the top 3 get put on a banner/link-to?

Oh, well that's not too bad. Considering. I gotta go now, will work on this later.

Okay..I joined two more webrings, I think. And I've been trying to get the member pages to work. And geocities is making all my font small and it's getting on my nerves. Yes. And...I still can't get a pretty layout for the member pages, I think I'm going to have to make PSP7 backgrounds, or something. Anyway
I found this site, it's a button/banner exchange..do we want to join? Check it out yourself first here and tell me what you think. You can join for us if you wish. I don't care if you put the link on the main page or the link page or whatever, I think you could put it on either. Maybe join both button/banner exchange, so we get more traffic, then one could go on main and the other could go in links? I dunno..anyway, if you think it's a good idea to join, I'll have to make a button/banner for us. (fun!) Just lemme know what you think, and which one(s) we should join.

I joined two webrings, and I *think* I linked them to the index page. And I also joined a webring for blogs. Check the right side of the screen. You were supposed to put a char. name there..so I put Hermione. If you want to change it you can. I'm trying to work on member profiles, but the div tables just don't want to do what they're supposed to! Grrr! You already know what I said about your posts. Okay, go here to see what I'm trying to do for the member profiles. But it's not working! :( Do you have any other ideas for the member profiles? Like, what should we put to the side and stuff? I mean, if they're a Daily Prophet/Quidditch person we can put that..maybe their student points? or something..I dunno...I mean, somewhere we can put their piccy, I left space for that if they have one...should we let them "edit" their own and then send it to us? Or is that too hard?

Okay, I got us a mailing list at Bravenet and a second re-direct URL. I think that when we join search engines and stuff we should just join under http://www.geocities.com/hogwartshallhidden..just in case. I think the v3 url might expire in a year..I think 'lanna's had problems with that. I don't think the Bravenet one I got (http://continue.to/HiddenHogwarts) does, though. And I tried to get us a pretty little favicon (little icon that shows up in the address bar instead of the ie image and in the favorites menu)...and I made a really spiffin one, but stupid geocities doesn't support icons. :[ And neither does homestead, which I could've linked bravenet to. bah humbug. And you have to check out my links page, here and see the pretty linky button thing I made for you. :-) Because I felt like making pretty piccys. I also made one for my site and for our astronomy site. Yeppers.

For the GP, I just sent in a Sorting hat form for the Snoopy Student. Please read it and tell me what you think, I'll probably forward it to your e-m@il. And *you* need to post in updates. Yes, you do. But that's okay =)
