Updates
11/27/02Okay, it's been even longer since I last updated. It's a year later and a lot has changed in my life...immensly. I won't even bother trying to explain. Needless to say, I have finally started getting my web page back in order. My last host, Eccentrix, used to be excellent, but they seem to have been bought by another company and ever since then the service was extremely crappy, and eventually they deleted all their old accounts...including mine. Not liking their new policy of full page pop-ups and crappy service I've decided to leave them. I can't even post a redirecting page at my old address since they've changed the way the directories are set up. Jerks.
Anyway, I've started moving my site to geocities. It's not complete and you will notice some broken links (my apologies) but I hope to have it back up again. How often I'll be able to update it after that is very uncertain, but I'm at least going to try to restore it to it's former glory. If you happen to find this page and on the slight chance had the old address bookmarked, please update your bookmarks. I apologise for the huge gap in service and the delay. Thank you for visiting.
04/26/01Okay, I know it's been a loooooooong time since I updated (I'm sorry!) but I've actually been doing stuff around the site and didn't mention it here since I didn't think anyone would notice anyway. I've done a lot of work behind the scenes with fixing my e-postcards page since geocities decided to implement a no-image-linking policy which defeated the purpose for having the account. So I had to search around for a host that allows external image linking (and that took a while). I found one but it took me a while to do the changes as they have a retarded system. So, I changed all the code and moved the posty page to eccentrix (which, by the way, I've decided I'll be transfering my entire site to...eventually), then I fixed the background on the messageboard for the fae page and added a pretty banner for the top. I also fixed the image linking problem with the background and dividers on the guestbook (see how much geocities screwed up my stuff?). Then, my excellent and free counter service decided not to be free anymore and so I also had to go searching around for another free counter service as soon as possible that wasn't a really annoying and ugly counter. I had a deadline for that one and so I did as best I could. If you know of a free counter service that is reliable and not ugly you can email me. Then I changed the webrings on the fae page to refer to the eccentrix site instead of NBCi/Xoom and deleted one that had ceased functioning as well as copying the graphics for two of them and uploading them since geocites turned mean and messed that up as well with their dumb new policy. So as you can now see, I've been a busy little bee; all the while finally acquiring a social life, believe it or not. So therefore, my time on the computer is much more limited; therefore I am apologising now for the fact that there will be infrequent large updates to the site. Sorry, but I think I deserve to finally have a life. I've really earned it, trust me. But don't worry, the site will still be here and I check up on it often and will continue to make updates; it will just be more sparingly. I still have some behind the scenes work to do which will take a while, but I have added something new to the hair page: an apple cider vinegar hair rinse recipe. I also added another award that I won for the fae page. Enjoy, and thanks for visiting.
And by the way, if you are visiting from the Xoom/NBCi version of the site, please change your bookmarks to http://eccentrix.com/artist/zebidala/ and visit the site from there. Soon I will be changing all my Xoom pages to divert to eccentrix when I am able to get enough time and the opportunity to sit down and do all the work. Sorry for any inconvenience but the site looks so much better without the ugly NBCi ads.
11/28/00I have created an online faerie shop for those who are looking to buy fairy items on the web for the fae page....I still have not made a decision about what to do with my Xoom site as it is up and working now. Just as I was considering switching completely to eccentrix.com, eccentrix was down for an entire day...so I'm still not going to make a decision for a while. I will just monitor both versions of the site to see which one is more reliable, for the time being. (For those of you who do not understand what I am talking about regarding eccentrix.com, please visit a mirror of my site at http://eccentrix.com/artist/zebidala/ and read the updates page.
11/15/00I am SO pissed with Xoom/NBCi...for those of you who have been here before, you may remember this site was hosted on Xoom which was bought by NBCi. Since that merger, the web service has gone to hell. I'm not sure how many visits I've lost because when trying to visit my page an annoying 404 "Page does not exist" error keeps coming up. Which is total bullsh*t. NBCi keeps losing track of my page. The strange thing is sometimes I can download graphics from my Xoom site when I view the html files stored on my hard drive, (apparently from a page that doesn't exist?) and sometimes not. I have today uploaded and re-written a lot of my html to this site, which is hosted on eccentrix.com. I am not necessarily sure if I will abandon my NBCi site just yet, as every page that has links to me, links to the the Xoom/NBCi url and I can't even make a re-direct page. I am going to write them an angry email and see what happens. For now, I've spent all night transfering my site to this server. All of it is up and working except the Amidala pages. Those I will do another night.....too late....too tired right now. Please send nasty hatemail to NBCi, demanding vengeance. I will have to figure out what I'm going to do. For now, enjoy the ad free-ness of my site.
Please update or add a second bookmark to: http://eccentrix.com/artist/zebidala/
Let me know if you ever see my Xoom/NBCi site actually working. Incidentally, I also snuck in 3 more awards I won for my fae page a few days ago (and you know, I updated that awards page without even knowing that it probably wasn't working. DIE NBCi DIE!).
10/20/00I won and uploaded another award for the fae page and joined another webring for that page as well to make a total of four so far.
10/14/00I got rid of the messy Yahoo webrings and now am on 3 ringsurf webrings for the fae page. I also won an award for that page and added a page to display it. And I finally wrote an article on being fae and uploaded it, and moved the links around a bit on that page, with a new section for the faery banners, webrings, and awards. I also added four new images and lots of new sounds to the faery e-postcards.
09/17/00I added some banners for linking to the fae page, and also joined some webrings.
09/04/00Okay, it took me longer than I thought, but I was having a creative block. The fae page has been redesigned finally. A great improvement over the last one, I think. It even has it's own messageboard. I also added a page on magical herbs to the new fae page.
07/15/00Yes I couldn't resist, I updated already. I added an article on homemade hot oil treatment to the hair page. I also moved things around on there and put the external links closer to the bottom of the page under the reviews and articles.
07/14/00For starters, the update page is a completely new edition. Things added and updated will now be listed here for the curious. Secondly, the main page has undergone a drastic redesign and the original main page now serves as a title page/introduction for the site. The fae page will also be redesigned shortly. Also, a guestbook was added so visitors can now post their thoughts and opinions on the site. I think the redesigns are a big improvement and hope you enjoy them.
