“They’ve just made the jump into hyperspace.”
If you happened to notice any missile silos opening up on your street and any armed warheads flying through the stratosphere right after that…
…well…sorry.
I sort of got all wrapped around the axle in the blog coding work again. Things seem to exist in a perpetual state of flux around here, and when you compound that with a blogger/artist/designer/perfectionist…well, what you have there is a blogger/artist/designer/perfectionist. And our official recommendation is that you toss in something shiny or a cup of coffee and just back away slowly.
People have been asking how in the world they can subscribe to the Waltzing in Perdition Chronicles easily. Particularly when it comes to the Contests and Giveaways I’m starting up. Check out the first one, by the way. It’s very cool and I’m going to kick it off as soon as I have ten people chime in wanting to play (I think there are seven or eight so far). And seeing how there is always eight billion ways to skin a cat, I figured out how to intercept everyone’s unique onramp to this blog and then greet that arrival with a custom window like this:
And by ‘I figured out how to,’ what I mean is that I did not do it myself at all. And by that, I mean I didn’t have to morph into a homicidal maniac trying to deconstruct the code. That said, let’s all give a great big round of applause to the coding gods over at OmniNoggin for what has to be one of the coolest plugins for any blog anywhere in the whole wide world.
So, in layman’s terms, what this means for you, Interpeeps, is that when you waltz on over to WIP and dig into any of the posts, depending on where you’ve come from, you’ll see a discreet pop-up window saying something like, “Dude. No way. Totally cool you’re here. And from Facebook? GET. OUT. Hey…if you want to subscribe to this thing, click right here. Let’s be best friends now. We’ll start a clique, it’ll be awesome c’mon.”
Okay, it won’t actually say that. It comes off way more professional than what I just wrote.
Nevertheless, you can now ta—
Wait a second.
*tilts head
*thinks
I’ll bet you a million dollars I can find a way to get into the code and make it say exactly that.
(be right back)
how do I get it mailed directly into my inbox? reg email :)
…while we’re at it, why don’t I figure out a way to code it so it WAKES YOU EACH MORNING WITH A FRESH CUP OF COFFEE TOO?! Good Lord, Billy…you’re making me crazy lol. I don’t know. But I’ll bet you I find out within the next half hour (because I have no life).
